Can I pour boiling water from a kettle into this? I don't have a microwave.

That is exactly what I do, pour boiled water into this little pot and let it steam

Yes, it is perfectly safe to pour boiling water into your Hario Chacha teapot. We have been using ours for over two years and absolutely love it. We pour boiling water into our pot, and we also microwave the teapot without the metal screen, it's safe both ways.

If you are thinking of using the microwave to boil water in these bowls, I would recommend against it. If it didn't break it would be too hot to handle and could crack when you take it out and put it on the counter. It would probably be okay to pour boiled water into the bowl, as long as you have a spoon in it or something to "temper" the hot liquid hitting the surface of the (cooler) bowl.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. This is not an electric kettle. You don't plug it in. You just put hot water in it.

You put grounds in along with hot water. I heat water in a kettle. I'm sure you could use a microwave. I let my coffee "brew" about 4 minutes before I press the grounds down through the water. The flavor is amazing because there isnt a filter absorbing all the flavorful oils. You can go to a coffee shop and request your coffee to be French pressed if you want to try it first.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

You do not put this pot on the stove or in the micrrowave. Put your water in a kettle to warm up on the stove then pour it into your pot.

I haven't done this myself, I still boil water in a kettle first, but stoneware is fired at such high heat that it should be possible to heat the water right in the teapot, in the microwave. The only problem you may have, is the teapot could get very hot, including the handle.

Neither. This is used in addition to a tea pot. You pour boiling water in it or microwave a mug of tea from it

I have never used it in the microwave. I just boil water in the pot then pour it in the tea pot.

Pouring already hot water should be OK but I don't use it in the microwave..I prefer Pyrex for microwave use.

I do not have the pot with the wood on it, I have the just-glass carafe. It probably wouldn't hurt to put it in the microwave but I have found it very simple to heat the water in a teapot. Personally, I would not put this pot in the microwave. Boiling water could splash out the fluted top and potentially cause a burn. Just my opinion.....

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

FlowerPower, I would not do that. These jugs are very solid and durable, but they aren't designed for that sort of thing. While I would have no qualms about pouring boiling water into mine, for tea...I would never boil water in the microwave, in mine. Besides, when you boil that amount of water in the microwave, you risk a latent boil over, which is when the water looks like it's stopped bubbling...until you start to move it, and then it explodes into a bubbling, boiling, burning mess, all over your microwave and your hands. If you are going to use it to boil water in the microwave, at least leave a wooden spoon in it while it's heating. That will help to stop the latent boil over.

No- I boil the water in a tea kettle- then I pour a little water into the tea pot to warm it. Throw the water away- then add your tea and boiling water to the tea pot. Let it brew for a few minutes then pour your perfect cup of tea! I am a Brit so am experienced tea maker.Good luck!

Yes, I have used this to boil water for 3 minutes in the microwave on high with no issues. Of course, be careful it will be very hot- however the handle should be OK.

The pot will handle boiling water from a tea kettle. Do not place on stove or in microwave. Works great have had one of these in one form or another for many years. Brew tea for any amount of time and remove the mesh basket.

I wouldn't recommend warming the pot in any way except filling it with hot water. Don't put cold water in it and put it in a microwave. I wrecked one that way.
