I like a very hot coffee, Can I use this french press with boiling water?

I heat water in a whistling kettle. When it whistles, I pour the water in my french press. So far, so good.

Yes, it's made of borosilicate glass. It can withstand temperatures much higher than that of boiling water, which can't get any hotter than 100C or 212F. Most coffee brewers, however, recommend 195F as the optimum brewing temperature. French press is probably not the best method for the hottest coffee because the water cools down somewhat during the 4 minutes that it steeps. When the kitchen is cold, I preheat the pot with some hot water to minimize heat loss.

You don't make press coffee with boiling water, unless you're at high altitude.

Just like Alan, I pour it directly from the boiling teapot into the press. 4 minutes and you have two perfect cups. I use 1/3 cup coffee ground at the coarsest level on my grinder. Some people use 1/2 cup, but I find 1/3 cup to be right and plenty strong enough.

No. The water must be 195 degrees. At 212 deg, I have found bitterness. Fill your water pot to a level you can repeat, boil, then time how long it takes to cool to 195 (use candy thermometer), then pour in to coffee in french press, stir, and rest the screen on the mixture. Steep 3 1/2 min, then push screen down fully for 2 min. Serve.

Well, I don't know about literally boiling, but I pour the water into the French press just off the boil. It then should steep for about 4 minutes before pouring into your cup. Believe me, it's still VERY hot at that point unless you like it hot enough to burn your mouth.

I haven't tried it in a french press, but good coffee is good coffee, so I don't see why it wouldn't be. I have used it in a Chemex (very simple coffee making process, like a french press: just hot water, filter, and glass container), and it worked well with that.

R u sure you know how to use it!? This coffee maker cannot make just worm coffee because of the way is working, the water gets hot, then is boiling and at this point it creates pressure wich then is pushing the water up forcing it tru the coffee and up in to the final transparent recipient where you are getting the final result :a very strong and flavorful coffee and "extremely HOT ". I hope I unswered to your question!

I heat the water in an electric auto shut off pot. Add grinds to the french press, add boiling water once done, cover, let sit for less than a minute while I heat milk for thirty seconds in the microwave, push top down on press gently, pour into milk already in cup. A few less steps if you like black coffee. Easier and more efficient than an electric percolator and gives me just the right amount. Good luck.

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.

The hot coffee will come in contact with the linner white plastic cover. It will also be moist with condensation from the steam action of the boiling water. The Lid and plastic can be taken apart if a deep cleaning is needed. My only warning is that no one should use fine ground coffee. The fine espresso grounds will clog up the screen when pressing your brew. What ever you do, dont reach the breaking point by using so much pressure it breaks the glass... I suggest a Coarse ground coffee for best results. Oh by the way, where can I find a Replacement Glass Element for My French Press?

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

Yes, it would definitely work for a french press. I use it for making coffee using a single cup brewer. It has 3 different temp settings (208, 195, 175) so you can brew it at your temp preference.

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

Cold water cannot be used as it won't extract the coffee from the beans like hot water. Ideal water temp for brewing is a few degrees below boiling. Cold water extraction requires many hours and is best done in a different vessel.

Your not supposed to use boiling water. The water should be slightly warm. I've never had issues with it being too hot.

Yes, Caleb. You can put cold water in the coffee maker, just the same way as you do when making coffee, and it will boil the water. My daughter uses an old one just for that purpose, because she does parties for a powdered coffee, that you just add hot water to.

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. You can always use the "old fashion" method of boiling water as well.

It is used for extremely hot tea so yes It can be used for hot coffee. I don't think it's a good idea to actually boil the water in the cup though.

Absolutely, I do it all the time. Just decrease water and coffee accordingly. You will love this coffee pot.

Boiling the water works fine. Waiting 30 seconds after taking it off the stove will put the temperature in the 195-205 range, which is ideal for brewing coffee.
