I am making a coffee maker and I am wondering will this get hot enough to boil water?

I use it in my boat hot water heater. It makes the water hot but I don't think it will make it hot enough to make coffee unless you leave it on

I my opinion it would as the only limit on the Temp max would be some sort of thermostat limits which probably will be required.

Hello fellow Amazon buyer! I have this coffee pot and like it a lot. I pour boiling water into the porcelain pot before making coffee. The pot heats up and when I am ready to pour through, I empty the hot water from the pot into my coffee cup. The result is coffee that is actually hotter than coffee made in electric coffee pots that are boiling water drop by drop. In electric pots, the water loses the heat rapidly. So, it is possible to get a very hot, fresh cup of coffee from the Melitta. However, the heat does dissipate. I use a dishtowel to cover the pot if any coffee is going to sit for a while. I hope that I have answered your question! I do recommend the coffee maker. Hello fellow Amazon buyer! I have this coffee pot and like it a lot.

I use piping hot water from a kureg coffee pot, it is easier than boiling it. It is suppose to be boiling water but hot seems to work ok, just takes a little longer.

Yes the coffee press will with stand boiling water. However, it's generally better to add the water just after it stops boiling, wait about a minute before adding it, water should not be actively boiling when you pour it in one of these so as not to burn or even destroy the beneficial constituents. Hope this helps, ~Team Idylc Homes

Not if you're like me & like coffee very hot. I run a pot of water through the unit first. That get the carafe and the heating coil hot.

I'm a little surprised that people are using this to boil water. It is not made for this. This is a pouring device only for use in the pour over coffee technique. You need to use another kettle to boil the water then transfer the hot water to the Hario. If you don't want the get another kettle you will be very limited to the amount, about one half of the kettle, you can use safely. It is not made for the regular process of boiling water. BE CAREFUL.

I am not interested enough to put a temperature gauge in the coffee, but think about it. The water has to boil or turn into a vapor in order to push the water from the lower pot and into the upper pot. Last I heard, water boils at 212 degrees. I don't know about other people, but I remove the pot from the heat as soon as all of the water moves into the upper level. I like the coffee this way and the time to brew is quicker. If you like stronger coffee, you might just reduce the heat and it will take longer to return to the lower level . WARNING No matter how you time your coffee brew, you must not leave the pot unattended while it brews. All my friends like this coffee and I use Folgers.

When I preheat it with boiling water, an almost full pot stays hot for almost three hours. The more coffee in it, the hotter and longer it lasts.

I'd like to know tha answer to this question, too. This Cuisinart DCC-1400 has never gotten the water hot enough to begin with and since there is no heating element for the thermal pot, it just stays luke warm, like it was to begin with. I hate to return anything, but should have returned this coffee maker as soon as I got it.

I have poured boiling water in for coffee, no problem. Washed up to as clear a finish as I began with! Hope this helps

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

To be accurate in your answer; water boils at 212f. A percolator will function up to about 190f. This one does the same thing. I take the insides out and use it to heat mulled apple cider. Once it gets to 'hot coffee temps', it drops down to 'keep warm' mode and the light comes on.

True! I have to heat the coffee after it poured! I use the hot water steamer to make instant coffee, which is very hot!

Actually it would work. I just tested it by unplugging it pressing down the tab and plugging it back in, and it started going. Probably still not worth doing though. Besides the fire hazard thing, if it takes you more than 2 minutes to get out of bed and to the kitchen, measure and grind your beans, pre rinse your filter and get set for your pour over then the boiling water would be cooling down by that point and you'd have to manually press the tab again to get it back up to temp. Grab a hario hand grinder and you'll have not problem filling the boil time with a nice little arm workout.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

Coffee is best made at exactly 192°, no more. So one the water is boiling, let it cool for at least 1.5 to 2 minutes.

This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it. The more hot beverage you have in the pot the longer it will stay hot/warm. I have found that if you put boiling water in the pot first to warm it up while you are making your coffee, then fill it 4/5th (two 12-cup pots), it will last hot for about 5 hours and drinkably warm for another 5. It also depends on how hot you like your coffee. My mum like it scalding hot so she doesn't like these things. Me, I am fine for about 6-7 hrs, then I need to microwave the cup to reheat it. As others have said, you can still find warm coffee in the pot the next day 18hrs later, but it is too cool for my taste. This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it.
