Is the glass strong enough to withstand the pressure of using it with an AeroPress?

... To continue. I use my press on top my Bodum double wall mugs and they are just as thin.

unless you use ALL of your body weight to press down on the plunger, the glass should hold up fine. I've accidentally knocked around my server a number of times and it's help up really well.

not really. also, since there is a pour spout, coffee splashes out of it while pressing.

Yes, although it's not "on the fly" adjustable. It's more like something you set and then leave alone. I just keep mine set to a nice fine grind for my Aeropress.

It's very thick glass, all around. There aren't any delicate thin parts. I doubt it would survive a drop to the floor (tho it might, it seems pretty sturdy), but it could probably handle bumping on the table, etc., without a crack. Hope I've helped! Love mine!

No. They use the glass as the weight to support it. Without the glass, very flimsy.

No, the glass is extremely strong. Love this table and everyone that comes over loves it. Easy to put to together.

the strength of the coffee only depends on how much coffee you use. the weak or strong, depending on how much coffee, has turned out perfectly in this maker, no problem at all

Yes, it is. I don't know why it's not stated in listings, but if you dig through some of the tech sites on Google, you'll find it is. It is also a very heavy duty glass as well in my opinion.

Yes the glass is tempered that way it can withstand the heat in your fireplace.

If your just using the glass top, it is very strong and should be no problem. However, I am glad I bought placemats (which came in afterwards) because I did see a few scratches on the glass from using it without protection. The scratches are minor, and after about four months of use, it still looks good. Hope this helps.

Yes, it seems unbreakable. It is not glass but plastic, and only strong force would crack it.

It's a very thick and heavy glass though I imagine it could shatter. I have dropped it on carpeted floor and it did not break but on a harder surface I think it would.

No, I don't think it is. But it is very heavy glass, it may break what you drop it on..... If you've been to the Hofbrauhaus, these are identical to what they server you many beers with.

I think so. The aluminum casing is thick. The glass is completely protected. Overall quality is impressive for the price.

I plan on clamping it to my glass desk when it arrives. The glass is a hair more than 1/4" thick. I'm going to put a chunk of rubber or piece of wood or something to distribute the pressure. I think it will be fine.

Yes it is. I have been using the AeroPress for coffee every day since I purchased it last year, and I recommend it to my friends.

It seams to be. This is actually a very nice and strong cup. I had ordered a cheaper one and broke it before I used it. This is a quality cup.

Yes. You have to VERY careful though. If you don't hit it hard enough it wont break. If you hit it too hard your hand could go thru the glass too. That would not be good. I hope this helps.
