Can I use this French Press with boiling water?

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.

Coffee is best made at exactly 192°, no more. So one the water is boiling, let it cool for at least 1.5 to 2 minutes.

I'm sure you could pour boiling water into it with no harm, but if you are using it for sous vide cooking it doesn't matter. The temperatures used for sous vide are far lower.

It would depend on the trap mesh your French press uses. This espresso is grounds fine into a powder so if the mesh doesn't have very tiny holes some of the bean will mix with the water portion in the end product. Great idea though. I am a fan of the French press myself. Hope this helped.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

Yes you can by keep holding the shot botton.. or click program then click one of the botton and stop it after you get enough water... it is going to be hot enough for small cup of amricano but it is better to use katle to heat your water for boiling

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

You could brew as few cups as you want - would just be a different amount of grounds/water, but no reason this bigger french press would keep you from brewing a smaller about.

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.

I also pour the boiled water in immediately. Many coffee guides recommend using 195-205 deg F water. However, unless you preheat your french press, I have found that the temperature of the water can easily drop by 10 deg F or more immediately after pouring it into the french press. Measure it if you have a thermometer.

You can, this press is great but maybe you need a smaller press, I use my to cold brew coffee I always brew 12 cups. Just remember some preses including this one say 12 cups but 12 6oz cups not a true 8oz. Plus you need to add coffee this lowers the fluid volume as well. So completely full coffee and water yields just about 37oz. I love the press. Let me know if you want a cold brew lesson lol.

I have used it when I'm in a rush and my boiled water has run out. So, yes, you can. I believe that it's recommended to use distilled water.

For each 8 oz of hot water use 1 Tbsp of course ground coffee. I like to add an extra Tbsp to the pot and I let it steep for about 5 - 7 minutes. Then plunge the screen down. If you let some sit in the pot, it will continue to steep and may get bitter. I like to pour the extra into a pyrex cup to prevent it from over brewing. I've been using this press for 10 years and it is still working great.

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.

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

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

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?

No, I would not do that. The double-wall design would not work well for that, and it's not meant to be heated on the stovetop. You boil water in a separate container--a pan or teapot--and then pour the water over the coffee and let it steep. If you need to reheat the coffee, you could put it in a mug and microwave it or heat it in a regular saucepan, but that ruins the taste and I don't recommend it. If you're looking for a stovetop coffee maker, consider a stovetop espresso maker.
