Can this be used for Coffee? I realize it won't screw onto a coffee pot but can you sit it in a pot to use?

Magic Tap is NOT designed for hot beverages. It would be great for cold coffee to be used for Iced Coffee. It will fit on top of bottle/jar openings of 1 1/2" (one and a half inches).

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

You could use it to do that, but it would still percolate. Basically you would just not add a filter or coffee. Please be aware that this product takes about a minute per cup of water when making coffee. I would assume a similar time to heat water, meaning it has to be set up an hour to an hour and a half in advance depending on how much water you want to heat.

It is dishwasher safe so I would think you could put coffee in it. I never have, I use it strictly for ice water.

I wouldn't recommend using it for coffee. I use it for dry dog food on my counter and it works well enough. Because of opening twice daily to feed the 4 legged family members, the seal that goes around the lid ripped off, lasted less than a year.

No it is for coffee only.I would not buy this coffee maker mine broke down the first time I used it

Given the same coffee I would personally just brew a pot. We bought this to have in our RV and it works great for that. It is small, not easily broken and the k-cups are sealed and keep fresh for a long time. I would highly recommend this item for that application.

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.

it can be used for any liquid you want to keep hot, just don't use the steep basket. You cannot put coffee grinds in the steep basket and hope to make coffee though (if that's what you're thinking); the holes in the basket would be too large.

I am not sure since I use mine in a bunn drip coffee maker but I did see that and wondered why they had that in the middle now that you ask that it makes sense that it would be for a percolator. I say give it a try!

Yes it works for coffee, but beware the smaller sized cups (like a tall size from Starbucks) get a little stuck and to get them out of the holster you have to lift by the lid or push it up from the bottom, bigger sizes work fine.

Don't think so.I use it as drip coffee maker. Mug or small pitcher at base.

As others have said here, for coffee, you can get a course grind by not grinding so long. I use mine for spices and want a very fine grind.

I'm not really supplying an answer for you but when I go to fill with water to make a pot of coffee, the water starts filling at the travel mug line, it doesn't go down to the single serving where it should start for either pot or cup. so it won't make a pot of coffee or single serving. Also the booklet provided doesn't say anything about that the single lever should be pushed down when brewing a pot of coffee.

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

This isn't a coffee pot. It is more like a teakettle, which is what I use it for - just boiling water. It is a "coffee boiler" because it's the kind used to make old-fashioned boiled coffee, also called "cowboy coffee" - where the grounds are boiled in water over a campfire, say.

Hi, We brew our coffee in the coffee makers regular steel pot then pour the pot full of coffee into this container. You could not brew coffee directly into this container. The container does work very well for its intended purpose of keeping coffee warm for a long time and dispencing it smoothly., Ray
