This is like any coffee press, only much bigger and has an extra top specifically for refrigerating over night. It is the perfect size for my wife and I. Both take large coffee drinks with us to work in the morning. Add Boiling hot water for coffee in 5 minutes or mix grounds and cold water to let sit overnight for ice coffee.

The main container made of glass. So, it also makes great hot coffee! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do if you get it!

Inside is a basket that holds the coffee grounds and makes the coffee. I took mine out and use it exclusively as a pot to make hot water. I can not speak to its ability to brew coffee, only that it is possible.

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

you could but it is a thermos to keep your coffee hot after it made in your coffee maker.

I think it would be okay with extra hot water. The oils from the coffee might leave some residue.

Yes - you can brew coffee and put in fridge for next day. It's hot or cold.

I don't know. I only used it for coffee. It worked pretty much like a coffee press.

I assume you could, but you'd have to watch the pot super closely, because that small amount would brew quickly, and when the siphoning of the water happens, it is already quite fast -- a process that you have to be watching closely to make sure you don't let the pot go dry (needs to be removed from the heat as soon as the siphoning starts). I have to add also that, once you taste this coffee, you'll never, ever brew that small of an amount, anyway! :D It's just waaaay too delicious, and you'll wish you had made the whole pot. I hope this helps! I love, love, love this pot to pieces, and if it ever gets broken (my husband is forbidden to touch it! No joke!), I will be buying a new one the same day!

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

NO! French presses use a metal strainer. You completely defeat the purpose and design and Great Coffee by doing anything other than brewing the way you sould. If you want to heat the water in the microwave and then put into the French Press outside of the microwave - that's okay. always use clean fresh cold water to start, water should be just below boiling and stir the coffee and water.

In the press? Since this is a single serving, no need to keep it in the press after you plunge it. However, as it is double walled, I imagine it would stay hot just like my larger press that stays hot for up to an hour or longer, especially of you pour hot water in it, dump it out, then put the coffee grounds and hot water in.

You can't! Do not waste your money on this machine. It makes a huge mess when the coffee was brewing. I returned it and would not waste my money on this garbage.

Yes, absolutely... here is how we recommend brewing hot tea as a tea press. ~ Clean off coffee residues from mesh filter, if significant amount consider a vinegar & water mixture. ~ Prepare amount of water needed for the cups of tea going to be poured as soon as the first steep of tea is complete. ~ Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite tea leaf per 8 ounces of water used. If stronger flavor is desired, add more tea, not time. ~ Lower plunger halfway to bottom. The idea is not to compress but to use the plunger as a sieve. Compressing tea leaves may produce bitter results. ~ Pour off all tea. Don't leave any tea steeping in water for an extended period of time. ~ Re-steep tea leaves as many times as you find they produce a tasty cup. ~ For more information about how to steep your favorite teas Check Out our Tea Chart Here &gt;&gt; http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81VVQ1GtR8L._SL1500_.jpg Hope this helps, Team Idylc Homes

If you use whole beans and grind them a little coarse, that's the best option. However, I've used pre-ground beans and its worked fine, you just have to beware the extra-bitter magic dust that settles out into the last sip. This is probably true of any press though

The Aero Press is one of the best ways to brew ground coffee. It however only brews ground products. If you want something that is versatile, Can brew K-Cups, coffee pods, and ground coffee, then the My French-Press is the best way to do all three. Also, with the My French press you can heat water in the included microwavable pitcher.

I see no reason why you cannot, the unit comes with a round coffee filter basket for brewing full pots of coffee and also a conical basket for brewing individual cups of coffee, tea, etc. To be sure you might also ask that question to BrewExpress the manufacturer, according to their website they can be reached at 866.268.5953.

No! The brewing is stopped when the plunger is pressed down. Coffee will taste fine for hours; just reheat a bit in the microwave as it will cool eventually in the Bordun.
