Heck no I for got what the experiment result was except the Gage never worked from day one The sipping area was a chance on you having coffee running down ones chinIt is now retired with the useless other mugs we have collected.Robert

No, it just keeps it warm. You can't adjust the temperature, it just turns on or off. My dad uses it to keep his coffee hot on long trips. Hope this helps!

I bought this mug and I do like it. As to the boiling point, I'll say this, it is hot enough to burn you tongue. I don't keep it pluged in any longer than necessary. I do recommend this mug. The thermostat on the side will tell you the range of temp.

Yes, it does but takes about 20 minutes to reach 120-130 deg.I have been infrequently using since last Dec.

I like my coffee medium strength, so don't know how strong it will make coffee. Hot--yes, but I don't think it could be termed "boiling" hot.

No. It is designed like a thermos... to retain the heat from the boiling water that has been poured into it.

Yes. Absolutely! It's good for one slight boil in hot water. It works pretty good for a brief moment, then definitely needs replacing.

Haven't used it lately. Yes, you can boil liquids and I have used it like a skillet.

NO. I have had mine for almost a year now and I absolutely LOVE this thing. I drink A LOT of tea and it is perfect to fey your water boiling in no time.

The water does rich boiling temperature. If that's enough for French press, then yes.
1567919
Yes, can make sun tea or use Lipton's cold brew...would not put extremely hot liquid in it

Yes. It won't be as robust or bitey as when using hot water, and you may want to try the "upside down" method to let the grounds steep for a while. Check Youtube videos to clarify.

Yes, but remember this one trick. The water must be boiling just before you pour it on. Pour enough boiling water on the coffee to just wet the coffe grounds. Wait about 20 seconds, then pour the rest of the water in slowly and steadily.

I personally wouldn't , I use a regular pot to boil the water, that way it can boil all it wants without me having to worry. Amazon even has a "Medelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle" <- That, I use to boil water. It's less than $10, solid as a rock. I can hear it all over the house. I use it for teas, coffee, cooking and so on! Boil water in something else to be safe.

Not sure. It needs a very hot heat source or it will take a long time to brew. But ass long as the water will boil to perk then it should work.

Probably. I never tried to just heat water and I have since given it away. Sorry

Yes. I just open the lid and manually pour water in. It automatically begins boiling after you pour water in and close the lid.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

I'm sure it is since it can handle boiling hot water. However, it's better to hand rinse to avoid a soapy taste. This makes drinking tea fun. It's the little things in life
