i think you can use hot water for this pot as well? since I noticed on the box it says 120c water is fine.

According to the instructions, all the parts (including the plastic basket holding the coffee) are heat-resistant to 120 degrees Celsius.

Chenyi Zhang, I do not understand where you found "120c", but that does NOT mean 120 degrees Celsius! That would be 248 degrees Fahrenheit -- hotter than the boiling point of water, 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have not tried it with hot water so I cannot say for sure. I only use it solely for cold brewing and on that regard, it works great!

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.

Hello Chenyi, This coffee pot was intended for cold use only. The reason being that the fine mesh filter soaks in the water to infuse a concentrated flavor. If you buy a coffee press, this is intended for hot coffee but can be used for cold. The press is the ultimate for hot coffee, and the cold brew Japanese method for cold.

I'm sure you can, although I'm not sure what benefits (if any) it'd provide.

Hi Candy, The directions say not to directly boil the water in the pot. If you are just setting it on a wood stove to keep it warm that would be ok.

NO. Aluminium melts at 1220f, this pot won't get that hot. You may find out that it probably going to take a turkey fryer and a cast iron skillet to achieve the higher temperature you seek.

Yes. There is a switch to move from 110v to 240 v. Each has a separate electrical circuit for the voltage. I have tested this hot pot almost 100 times (a stress test) at 110 V and have found it to be working. I took it recently to Denmark and worked very well at 220 V. It provides 2 cups of hot water. The plastic cover should be on during heating the water; otherwise, the hot pot wouldn't shut off automatically.

I believe it does absolutely require the 120Vac be supplied. The venting is by a fan, no fan no operation. In the manual in the troubleshooting section it says for no hot water check that gas and power are on. I would assume if you open a hot tap, the water will flow through the device, there just won't be a flame to heat it.

The pot should not be placed directly on the heat source. You should heat the water separately and pour it into the press.

There is a pie shaped dial on the front of the unit. You move to the hottest temp and your water will be 120 degrees

I wouldn't risk boiling water. Warm water yes. I would also check the Camelbak website.

This is a good question. I use hot water but be careful not to re-shape the container.

That should be fine with this unit. The amount of water makes no difference to the meter, and 180 F is not too hot. I don't see a temperature rating on the unit, but I put 160 F water through it regularly without any problems. I don't see the extra 20 F making a huge difference.

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.

The recommended method is to add Hot water to pot. I would think that is the safest method.

i have read that it can handle high temperature -40f upto 212f , but i myself would not risk putting in boiling water.

How hot are you referring to? If you were draining your water heater, I imagine 130 degrees might be ok. Boiling water I would never subject plastic to, unless the item is food grade. Hot tap water should be fine. It's a good sturdy bucket.

You use hot water from your tap. The hottest you can. That's it. It doesn't maintain the temperature, it's not heated.

I have used warm water regularly in the bottle and it's fine. I am not sure if temperature as high as 100 degree centigrade could be withstood.

Do not use boiling hot water. I ignored the instructions and figured I could get away with it, but it melted the cap on the reservoir and leaked heavily afterwards requiring a new reservoir.
