Has anyone tried using cold water to get their coffee from a Kcup? I only drink iced coffee and want to take this to a hotel where there is no microwa

I wish I could help with an answer, but I have only used hot water...If the ice is in your cup and you are just pressing cool or cold water through, I do not see why it wouldn't work...coffee may be a little weak...

The coffee will probably be weaker since the grounds don't react the same with hot and cold water. Unfortunately this will probably break before you get much use out of it though. I got 8-10 uses from 2 of them before the reservoir gasket fell out.

I wouldn't think you could use cold water. You might be able to get some hot water from the hotel.

I have a chai tea kcup that you can use hot or cold. I hope that helps you.

is there an ice machine down the hall? I have had success making a cup of coffee in hotel rooms with hot water from the bathroom sink tap. Never tried pushing cold water thru the Presto.

Sorry to be vague, the coffee is hot but not scalding. I usually put my cup in the microwave for 20 seconds to get the temp I like. I guess after the little old lady at McDonalds scalding herself by dropping her coffee in her lap while she was driving and sued because the coffee was too hot companies have erred on hot not scalding. She probably would have sued if it had been cold. Bottom line the Kcup coffee is hot but not scalding.

debugging anything involves working your way step by step thru the processI did not experience this but my inclination is to recheck the kcup - and how it is sitting in the coffee makeryou look to see if where the water enters is blocked because the kcup is not properly seated also look at what 'appears clogged' literally means - is water coming out some other way? or it just does nothing if kcup is in place? I did have trouble with water saturating the coffee - and this was reason I ultimately returned the product

I'm sorry John A. finds my coffee methods offensive however, that is what is to my liking. I also recently discovered using the press to do a cold brew method where the coffee grounds soak in room temperature or chilled water for about 12 hours before being pressed. It is much sweeter and richer than using hot water for a faster brew...I mix it in the evening and it's ready for the morning.

So, mixing hot water with coffee grounds produces a different flavor that mixing coffee grounds with hot water? Anyone have an explanation as to how that is possible?I'm not trying to be standoffish, just honestly curious. Also, thank you all for your comments.

Not sure the number of cups but cheaper than Starbucks. I use exclusively for iced coffee, and use cold water only. Never drink it black but don't see why you can't,

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.

So what you do is add 1cup water then 6 oz of coffee then 3 cups of water then add 6 more oz and 3 more cups of water.. I use just regular luke cold water. You let it sit for 12 hrs then drain...

Kana, I have used the Toddy Cold Brew system over the last 40 years and I have never used "special" coffee other than using coffee that I like. I think you might get a different answer from someone else who might say that you need to have a special coarse ground coffee, however, that is not my answer and I sincerely love my coffee !!!

It does brew the coffee cold and I don't know how long it takes. I put it in the fridge over night. Probably takes longer than 10. Enjoy.

Try running it without any coffee. What does the water alone taste like? If its brand new, then run it through with water (only) a few times, including steaming.

Mine made cool coffee. The water didn't heat enough to extract the coffee properly. That's why I returned it.

I have used it only with boiling water over the grounds. Strictly speaking, the French Press is not brewing, it is more of an infusion. I think cold water over grounds would give you a pallid coffee with a pallid flavor.

Never tried it. You can use the hot water straight from the coffee machine with the instant coffee in your coffee cup.

Never tried this way. I put my cappuccino in a cup and use my Keurig for the hot water.

One more thing. I always run hot water in the thermos before i make my coffee. Coffee stays hot enough. Try that and see if that works for you.

Yes, just keep water in it and the k-cup flavors you like. No clean up and a fast cup of coffee.
