Does the mesh seem fine enough to coldbrew coffee with?

It is very fine mesh...so I think you could be all right with it so long as the coffee you are brewing isn't powder fine! I hope you enjoy this!!!

I would say it is, but I never tried to brew coffee in it:). I would go with a French press instead, it can be used for brewing the tea also.

I dont think so. If you were using a medium or coarse grind it might work, but a fine or espresso grind would go through. I have had small loose leaf tea leaves go through the mesh.

Coffee grounds can get pretty fine. My guess would be no. I think you'd have to get one made specifically for coffee. This would strain out some of the grounds but probably not all. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine mesh strainer, but fine coffee grounds are too much for any strainer.

Not at all. Water temp is too low and grind is too coarse resulting in weak coffee and double usual bean usage. Looking for a new one now.

I would say not quite. It is a fine mesh but the chinois appears to be even finer. This one is great for skimming fat off broth, water flows through, very decent for the price.

I have pored hot coffee into glass and no problems yet and yes ice water is fine too.

I can't see why not but have not tried it myself. The filter has a honeycomb impression and the top lip locks in place when you put the lid and turn to lock. You might want to use a small spoon to lightly tamp down coffee and use with the existing mesh filter; gives you double filter for the fine grind of espresso coffee.

Haven't tried, but I imagine it may be difficult to clean as the grounds could potentially get embedded into the mesh filter. The filter itself does look fine enough to strain coffee grounds though.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.

No; it works great in that regard.I've been using the thing every day (at least once a day); mostly for cold brew, but also for hot French Press when I need an extra boost. It's been great.

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.

No, I don't think so, the mouth is fairly small and not level. We brew separately and then pour in to the carafe.

If it was a course grind it *might* be OK. Also I use it to heat the water pretty hot. Not sure on the temp but the plastic holds up well.

I use this with a 10 gallon aluminum brew pot, and it works fine with that. I'm not too certain if I'd want to go too much heavier than that, though.

This is not an ultra fine mesh. It's like a very fine. I measured the diameter of the holes and they appear to be 1/32". By the way, if you can see the individual holes in the mesh then it's not fine enough for finely ground coffee. It's definitely not one step less fine than a paper filter like another commenter stated. Nothing will get through a paper filter. One step less than that should be a super tight mesh (where you can't even make out the holes) and almost looks like a solid sheet of clear material. This is not that.

If you mean something like a Mr Coffee, or some other type of brewer, the answer would be no. If you mean just a coffee pot it could accommodate that.

I never knew there was a difference in the mesh. I use a coarser ground french roast so I don't have an issue with any grounds getting through the filter. The replacement filter mesh featured here appears to be exactly the same as the one included with my original Bodum press purchase.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.
