Can I put the the Bodum Kenya in the microwave (without the plunger if course)

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. It is not meant for the microwave. With any good French press, you heat the water in a kettle or in some other separate container and then pour it in to make your coffee or tea.

I don't microwave plastics, so I always use a 4 cup measuring cup to heat my water.

You are able to take the glass portion out of the plastic holder so yes in theory you could use it in the microwave. I personally don't think I would be microwaving the glass portion though. You would need mitts to pull it out and then you would not be able to put it back into the plastic holder which would defeat the purpose of intended use.

Yes you can but I've never needed to put it in the microwave since I just use it to store it away in the freezer and pop one out every time for feeding and use small microwaveable bowl.

I don't think so. I have never put it in the microwave. I would check with the company.

I don't put it in the microwave, I put it on top of a diffuser on the burner (low) and pour the boiling water in, stirring after each increment.However since it's porcelain I believe putting it in the microwave should be fine but for good quality coffee, not so good.Hope that helps, Michele

Sure, I always put it in the microwave. Just make sure you don't put in with the filter and the lid on.

That is not how it's meant to be used. You could put it in a micro but that would be no different than using any microwavable covered bowl. You would also have to remove the handle as it is attached with metal.

Yes, just be careful when unscrewing the cap because it will be HOT. Do not pull the plunger out more than an inch or so, just enough to get your condiments in the coffee.

Doubtful. You need the targeted pressure of the plunger to push the food through the tiny opening.

I have not tried it, but given the lid is very secure, even if I did try it, I would microwave it without the lid. food does stay fairly warm, so unless you want piping hot, you may not need to microwave.

No. The plunger is all metal and comes apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. This is a very good cafetiere in my opinion.

Yes. The glass piece by itself should be ok in the microwave. Just please don't forget to remove the metal strainer.

No, not directly. The activation button in the fluid is metal. See special instructions for microwave:http://hotsnapz.com/images/Microwave%20Instruction%20Card-Beta.pdf

Yes, the lid will work without the infuser. The steel band is part of the infuser. When you take infuser out of kettle the kettle is all glass. I am not sure about putting the kettle in microwave. Personally, I would not try it.

I suppose you could, but I think the process would be too slow, considering that microwave heats it in 3-4 minutes ,max. Also, I have no idea what oven heat you would use

Yes, you should be able to use it in the microwave, its glass and plastic as long as you remove the infuser.

No. On the bottom of the bowl it says do not use in the microwave. Sorry it looks like you should be able to. :(

I have never put mine in the microwave, but if you take the top off and the strainer out it is all glass. So I cannot see why it would not be OK in the microwave. It is easy enough to put the strainer in after the water is heated if you do not fill it too full.
