Do you use the oncentrated coffee with a cup of hot water to make a cup of coffee or do you have to heat up the cold brew?

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. I believe you can heat up the cold brew. Also, depending on how strong you like your coffee, you can dilute it with water and heat but do not boil. Technically, if you make it on the strong side, your cold brewed coffee will last longer because you will be diluting it!

The one time I made hot coffee with the concentrate I poured water from my kettle into the cup which had the concentrate in it. I mainly use the the Tekaya to brew Thai iced tea.

The whole point of Cold brew is to drink it cold, and not heat it up. Cold brewing makes coffee less bitter and less acidic. You're basically steeping it like tea, but for much longer. Try it once as cold brew and you wont want to heat up your coffee ever again!! But if you're intent on drinking it hot, I would just heat up the concentrated coffee itself or cut it with a bit of water and then heat it. I'm not sure how that would taste as I've never gone this route!

Hi Jeri. I preheat the pot using hot water from my instant hot tap, the same water I use to pour over the coffee. it is ceramic so it does keep it relatively hot, it won't stay hot for hours, but still at a good temperature for about an hour.

Hello Chenyi, This coffee pot was intended for cold use only. The reason being that the fine mesh filter soaks in the water to infuse a concentrated flavor. If you buy a coffee press, this is intended for hot coffee but can be used for cold. The press is the ultimate for hot coffee, and the cold brew Japanese method for cold.

I haven't tried it myself, but I know some folks who have tried heating it up and have said it isn't as good. Just because this is for cold brewing, I would recommend sticking with cold coffee.

You put grounds in along with hot water. I heat water in a kettle. I'm sure you could use a microwave. I let my coffee "brew" about 4 minutes before I press the grounds down through the water. The flavor is amazing because there isnt a filter absorbing all the flavorful oils. You can go to a coffee shop and request your coffee to be French pressed if you want to try it first.

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.

The brewed coffee is your "base". It can then be mixed with either hot or cold water to get the strength and temperature you prefer.

Sorry yes like someone else said no but can use the hot water. Haven't had all coffee so tired:) Coffee grounds are good since that's what's in the k cups.

Here's a tip to keep your coffee hotter. Before brewing a cup into a cold cup, run a blank of hot water (like for your own tea bag or hot cocoa packet) into the cup. Dump this, and then brew your K-cup coffee. Works like a charm to keep your coffee hotter, longer. This also works to heat the innards of your Keurig brewer more completly.

Diane Crowley-Never start with boiling water; start with cold water.Once the coffee has passed into the upper chamber and it starts to blow steam I like to let it work for a short period of time to blow the remaining liquid out of the grounds. Try to never boil the bottom dry.Jim

At first, I thought I had no answer for your question, but then it occurred to me that if you just turn on the coffee maker again after two hours, the heating plate should begin a new cycle.... Maybe not, but you could give it a try. However, I would also think that your coffee is going to get kind of bitter after more than a couple hours of being heated to keep warm. If you use a microwave safe ceramic cup, that can also be a quick way to heat up your coffee at any time.

It does brew the coffee cold and I don't know how long it takes. I put it in the fridge over night. Probably takes longer than 10. Enjoy.

Not exactly sure but I usually put a CUP of water in to heat for instant coffee.

Well...You are welcome...and Congratulations on figuring it out...I strongly suggest pre-warming the carafe with hot water before brewing. That's the only way we get hot coffee from the carafe. ENJOY! Heck, I think I'll go make myself a cup of coffee.

I make my coffee and while it brews fill the thermos with very hot water put lid on and leave sit until coffee done brewing then pour it in heated thermos...I have had very warm coffee for about 5-6 hours...the warmer thermos is when you pour in liquid and temperature of starting liquid will affect length of time & temp of things input...

I don't know I always drink hot coffee. What I do is use half a packet with another blend of coffee. I believe if you use it as Ice coffee it will taste good with some creamer and sugar.

Put 4 level tablespoons of coffee grounds in the basket. Set the basket back into the pot. Slowly fill the pot with COLD water from the tap. When it reaches half way up the black band at the top, stop adding water. Stir gently with a spoon to make sure all the grounds are damp. Put the brewing coffee in the refrigerator over night. In the morning, lift out and drain the grounds. Coffee can be heated if desired, but it's great cold on a hot morning like those we've all been having.
