Is this French press microwave safe? without the steel plunger, of course.

For reheating your coffee? I don't see why not. Stoneware is oven safe, so microwave should be no problem.

I wouldn't put a French Press in a microwave regardless of it being safe :)

I d assume so since its ceramic but I haven't tried. Suggest to call le cruset directly. Good luck!

There should be no problem, but I do not see a good reason to do it. Not even for reheating coffee. I would never reheat coffee.

No! You will ruin your mug! Do not put it in the microwave or the dishwasher.

The coffee maker's main body is a thin glass. Metal touching water, the plunger and base of the plunger touches water (I hope this is what you are referring to?) Underside of the lid is metal. It is a decent French-Press. Jon... is correct.. handle is plastic.

We didn't like this model of the french press very much. Yes, it made fine coffee but the plastic handle and top knob were loose, jiggly and felt cheep. We don't have it anymore (our cleaning lady dropped it in the sink and the glass shattered). I can't speak of the coffee grounds in the bottom. That issue never concerned me. good Luck...

Yes. They break too easily even though I was very careful with them. I went through 4 replacements in about 3 years. Eventually I got tired of replacing the glass and went with a stainless steel French press instead.

I personally do not have a microwave, but there is no metallic design to it and see no reason why it couldnt be. I put it in the dishwasher too. Use this at work every day, love it!

You can not.Even you can, I do not think it is smart to do that. This press is so beautiful, I hope it will keep shinning for longer. And I think you know to use any French press, you need to add the grounds before hot water.Last point, this vessel is double-layer, so I think it is dangerous to heat it on the stovetop for any reasons.

Yes, it is microwave safe ... and no, I've not noticed the handle getting hot. I heat (okay, reheat too) coffee in it, and I've used it pretty much daily for the past year. It's my second -- the first one I broke when I accidentally banged it into the wall while walking to the breakroom for a refill. LOVE this mug! And it's perfect size, too!

Not at all. This is a standard French Press. The entire top and "filter" come out and can be rinsed.

It's dishwasher safe, but doesn't get totally clean. The underneath of the inside still has coffee residue. Wipe the inside with a white paper napkin and see if it's clean. I wash mine by hand while the water boils. French press. Maybe I need a new dishwasher. This cup is very cool. I have gotten free coffee because of this cup.

I wouldn't want to put it in the microwave. The stopper at the top and bottom of the measuring tube "plunger"; is made of a pliable rubber like material (a little stronger than rubber, none the less, pliable.

No, we use a tea kettle, heat the water on the stove then pour it into the french press. We don't let the water boil, just let it get to a simmer, then take it off. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure. The carafe is just plastic and glass (no metal), but I'm not sure if the glass is microwave safe.

No metal in the microwave. You can either learn this the easy way or the hard way: youtube.com/watch?v=u_yg5eKjA4U

It is not microwave safe. It has a shiny silver trim around the edge. Noritake also mentioned not to use any dish wash detergent or soap with citric.

Yes it is microwave safe. The lid is better cleaned by hand as part of it twists so it can be closed.
