Question: I like a very hot coffee, Can I use this french press with boiling water?
Document: I was surprised to find out that coffee made in this is smoother than coffee made in a regular coffeemaker. The grounds should be like sand, not powder. You put them in the carafe, pour hot, almost (but not quite) boiling water over them, put on the lid and wait 4 minutes. If you made the grounds a little too coarse, you might need to push in the plunger and pull it back up to stir them up a little.
This is my first French Press styled coffee pot. I am using it at work since I have hot bottled water available and am reluctant to use something with a hot plate. The press works very well and gives me a travel mug + of delicious coffee. The part I really do not appreciate is the clean up, although this would be true of any French Press.
Takes but a few minutes to grind the beans while the water is boiling, pour the water, wait three or four minutes, and viola! HOT coffee. I've learned that turning the unit upside down and running hot water over the bottom of the glass makes for an easy release. Just be sure to have a rubber mat in your sink. I also suggest a burr grinder.
I have been brewing French Roast, Sumatra, and Ethiopia coffees in this pot for over a month and I am very happy with the results. The coffee is full bodied and tasteful. You can expect to brew 2 full mugs of coffee from this pot or 3 small cups. Surprisingly, if you use water just off the boil,  the second mug of  coffee stays hot in the carafe, so you won't have to nuke the second cup.
This coffee press is great. Its really well built and easy enough to clean. I haven't had any clogging issues; just make sure you use coarsely ground coffee. I've found it best to use water that is more or less boiling and make sure to stir well before putting on the lid/plunger. My only complaint is that is doesn't quite fill up 2 standard-size coffee mugs when full. I wish it was just a few ounces bigger.
While it brewed a great cup of coffee, unfortunately after about 10 uses, the glass beaker slipped out of the plastic handle while cleaning, from a height of only about six inches, and it shattered on "impact" (I use the term loosely). I realize that freak accidents can happen with glass, but I would have expected this to have been better tempered and more shatter-resistant than this, given its intended use. This is for pouring boiling water into, not drinking fine wine out of.
I am very happy with this press. I have a larger press at home (Mr. Coffee brand)and wanted to have the same great taste at work. This 17 oz. pot makes just enough for two nice cups. I use it mostly for tea but coffee works great! I use hot water from our dispenser at work and the clean up is quick. The press is good quality and well made. You will be happy with this one.
The contents generally take about 12-15 minutes before it starts to cool noticeably. Also note that if you use less than piping hot water, you will get a greyish brew and lots of foam, seems to be more obvious when using this press. Who makes good coffee without really hot water anyway. Pleased with the price and performance of this press.
This press works like a charm, and only has one design quirk you must be aware of and that is that the glass beaker fits very snugly in the holder while it's cold, but when you pour hot water into it (whether brewing or washing) the plastic expands and loosens it's grip on the beaker and it slips right out.
This smaller size is perfect for making coffee at work! I was concerned that the process would be too messy, but it hasn't been a problem. I use 4 scoops of coarse ground coffee, then fill the beaker with hot water up to the top of the letter O in the word "original" to make enough to fill my 16 oz. ceramic mug.
Answer: Yes, it's made of borosilicate glass. It can withstand temperatures much higher than that of boiling water, which can't get any hotter than 100C or 212F. Most coffee brewers, however, recommend 195F as the optimum brewing temperature. French press is probably not the best method for the hottest coffee because the water cools down somewhat during the 4 minutes that it steeps. When the kitchen is cold, I preheat the pot with some hot water to minimize heat loss.
