Is the lid of this carafe flat when opened so a plastic cone with a flat bottom can be used on it to make coffee?

When the lid is removed, the top of the carafe is flat. I have never done that but is looks like it would work. The opening is about 2 1/2 ".

yes you can and I did, but when I tried taking the small plastic lid off the carafe, the lid broke, so be very careful, in fact just leave the lid on when you dishwash the carafe

Yes, the brew thru lid has a long tube that extends down into the carafe, well below the level of liquid when the carafe is 1/2 or more full . It is quite effective in maintaining the temperature of the coffee. The standard travel lid is solid and allows you to turn the carafe upside down if you wish.

Not significantly. As you pour there is a chance that the coffee will come into contact with the lining of the lid..

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

It has one. I use it with a gold mesh cone filter and it makes a good cup of coffee. :)

Yes. There is a spring-held plastic catch device that "blocks" the grinds from falling from the top portion into the carafe.

It does not appear to come in contact. The pump tube, where the coffee percs from, is above a small aperture leading to the o-ring. The pump tube bypasses the o-ring aperture and percs directly into the plastic knob in the cover. Yes, the knob in the cover on the model I use is plastic. In the end plastic is inescapable!

The lip on my size 2 is just over two inches wide. The actual opening for the coffee in the bottom of the cone is less than one inch wide. It doesn't fit on top of my Klean Kanteen, but that could be easily remedied by using a pour over station.

We use a larger Melita at our cabin. When making coffee I sure wouldn't want to make it the way you are saying, but if you do not have anything except the cone, glass carafe and a cup I guess you could try. (Perhaps try it sometime before)

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

Yes - Although it comes with a reusable mesh filter, I don't like those. I use a #2 cone style coffee filter and just fold it over the filter holder. Works PERFECTLY.

I would not it is plastic and the Keurig could split it the things that hold the coffee cups are also plastic.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I'll give it a try. The filter on the rim of the lid is simply a group of open slots. The coffee would have to be VERY coarsely ground to be strained by these openings. The rim of the lid is solid all around except for that group of open slots. The lid can be turned so that the slots are not in play, but there is no fully open area on the rim. Hope this doesn't confuse you further.

Im sorry I don't know for sure. We use it with a manual pour over cone dripper.

no, it is simply a stainless steel carafe...similar to it's glass counterpart- you probaly use one with your drip coffee maker. It is very durable but won't keep liquids any hotter than any regular glass carafe.

I can only guess that there MAY be a plastic/rubber gasket where the metal base meets the glass, however, it is not visible. So, I really can't say for sure. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. My carafe has never leaked.
