is it safe to boil some water, then add it, instead of microwaving in the provided cup/plunger?

I always boil water in my coffee cup and pour it in the provided cup. I never use the plunger to boil water. It's perfectly safe.
1694114
Yes, it works fine. I have been doing that every day for the past month with no ill effect.
1694115
Yes it is. I bought this for my camper and we do not have a microwave in it. You just have to remember to measure the water with the blue part so you don't end up pouring to much in and having boiling hot water over flow out the spout.
1694116
Absolutely. In fact, that is the only way I have ever used it. I don't have a microwave oven, just a kettle and a gas stove. No need to wait to cool either.
1694117
That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.
1694118
yes. that's what I do.. I have an electric kettle that boils water next to the maker, then I fill directly with the water.. not even using the blue part at all. then just use the blue part as the plunger.

You can add it directly to the bag, but would be better to dump the contents into a better container to add the boiling water in my opinion. The size and shape of the bag would make it difficult to add the boiling water without scalding yourself. The bag would hold it.

I have boiled water in the microwave in this, but I wouldn't try it on the stovetop.

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.

I have poured boiling water directly into my two units for many years without problems. I also put mine in the dish washer. Both are "crazed" probably from the dishwasher but work perfectly. I do not put mine in the microwave as the screens might be affected...but I really don't know for sure. I think the screens are made of a plastic material, but they might be extremely thin metal.

I would not recommend heating water in this product. The whole idea is that you are pouring the already hot water over the grounds, and then stirring them which is the beginning of the brewing process. You would not begin with water in the glass part and then put in the coffee grounds, nor would you want to be microwaving a coffee grounds/cold water combo. Check out some youtube videos of how to use a french press. It's a special process, but one which I have found yields some of the best-tasting cups of coffee I've ever had. It's worth it to get out the old tea kettle and get some water boiling. You won't be disappointed. I would not recommend heating water in this product.

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.

it can be safe to pour boiling water straight from the kettle into the thermos

This was a gift for a friend, so I'm not really sure. I personally would not put it in the microwave. Normally you would heat water in a teakettle, put the hot water and either loose tea or a tea bag in the teapot, then pour into the cup.

I haven't poured boiling water because I usually let it cool a bit so I can sweeten, but I would say it's completely safe since it's BPA free which is minus the chemicals that you would get from a non-BPA container especially when adding boiling water as it can dissolve into the container. It's really a win-win.

You have to add water, but you can either add water and then microwave, or just add boiling water to them.

That Should be fine. You don't want your wort to come up to a vigorous boil too quickly. So the amount of heat should be ok.

I heat water on stove top. Probably should ck with manufacturer about micro use. I do love mine!

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.

No! The brewing is stopped when the plunger is pressed down. Coffee will taste fine for hours; just reheat a bit in the microwave as it will cool eventually in the Bordun.

No. Hot beverages will stay hot for up to 4 hours so microwaving is not generally necessary.

I pour boiling water in mine at least daily and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!
