Can I pour in hot coffee safely to be stored and chilled? I want to use it for iced coffee.

Absolutely. I fill it with ice and then pour (double strength) hot coffee straight out of a french press right over the ice (which melting, and adding a bit more water as needed, brings the coffee to regular strength). The pitcher handles this with complete aplomb. Not even a sound of cracking or popping (aside from crackling of the ice). Also great for iced coffee in that it will not stain, and the seal prevents transfer of flavors or odors in the fridge.

Answering an old question... but somebody else might want to know. This is designed to have boiling water in it, and handle the sudden temperature change of "flash" chilling it. I regularly (almost daily for over a year) boil water in the tea pot, fill this half way with boiling water, brew for as long as desired, add ice or water depending how soon I want to drink it, and put this straight into the fridge.

I haven't tried that , I just use it for powdered drinks. I would let coffee cool down first before pouring into pitcher .

It's not meant for hot drinks. It's meant to be put in the freezer and used to keep drinks cold.

Yes, you can put either hot things or cold in them. They recommend that you either pre-heat or pre-chill the cup before you place the food or liquid inside.

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

always keep coffee at room temp. Keeping coffee in the fridge can spoil the taste. This VAc canister helps the coffee last much longer without refrigeration. But do not keep coffee next to the stove! :)

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170F

Yes, but your coffee should be stored airtight, so not sure how it would affect the taste...

Freeze your coffee so it isn't watered down. I don't see why not. You'll have to play around with it. The machine is very loud and slow but I'm still liking it.

We have not used the ice brew method yet. Regarding the temperature of making hot coffee, we also like our coffee hot. We are happy with it.

I only used it to mix a powdered drink with warm water. I never used it for hot coffee. Be careful to hold down the top when blending as it does not stay on. Good luck.

Yes the coffee is hot enough, if it has an iced tea feature I've never used it.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

I always store mine in a hermetic jar and don't notice a significant deterioration in the quality by the time I get to the last beans. Americas Test Kitchen has recommendations regarding storing coffee so whatever works best for you.

You guys are forgetting the biggest point here. You do not leave coffee in the press like that, it will continue brewing and will turn nasty. When is done brewing, pour it all directly into a Thermos, pre-warmed, of course. It will stay hot for well over 6 hours. Mine has stayed hot for like 12.

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.

No. However if you want to store coffee and keep it warm, you're better off buying a nice Thermos anyway. Thermos makes a stainless steel one that holds a bit more than 750 ml that can keep stuff hot or cold for (they claim) almost a day. Available at Target and most other such stores I guess, less than $20.

...the coffee MAY stay hot...but I wouldn't know since the handle is a heat sink, therefore it's impossible to hold UNTIL the coffee cools down. I do not advise the use of this cup for hot beverages.
