The material it is made out of is microwavable, however I've never tried it as it is too tall to fit in my microwave.

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.

Yes, I microwave some water, then add the concentrate. If needed I will give it a bit more in the microwave. I only use expresso coffee as other blends won't give enough flavor.

I have never used it in the microwave. I just boil water in the pot then pour it in the tea pot.

I don't know. I have always just put it in the microwave oven to heat the water.

Don't microwave this cup. It is good for a lot of things but no contact with open flame and do not put it in the microwave. Heat the water separately and make the tea, coffee, or cereal, or freeze-dried meal in the cup using it's lid to keep in the heat.

I fill it with hot water from my coffee maker. I've never put this in direct contact with a flame or heat source and I don't use a microwave. I don't think that's how it's intended to be used. But ask the manufacturer if you want a more educated answer than the one I have.

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

Yes. It is fine. There is not a warming plate so you make coffee and drink it right away. Reheat it in the microwave it it sat for a while. One or two people have stated that is you want stronger coffee, to use a stronger type of coffee grounds so you don't overfill the filter. For me, It's perfect.

I just heated a glass of water in the microwave for 1 min & 5 sec. The water got very hot, enough to make tea that was hot but not unthinkably hot, and the glass did not break. In fact, I could hold it in my hand without discomfort. I would say you are fine to heat water in it and not have an issue. Good luck.

I make a large cup of coffee in mine almost every single morning. Zero ill effects so far after a few months of almost daily microwave use.

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 have the same problem with a 1000W microwave heating for two minutes. I have no solution to the problem--I should have returned it but it is too late now. It does not serve the purpose for which I bought it--to keep my coffee pot warm as I sit on the balcony reading the morning paper.

Yes, but I recommend heating the water inside the mug. I've cracked several by pouring very hot water in them or by washing with cool water when still very warm. I never had one break when heating water in a microwave oven, even to the boiling point (by accident).

It's hot, you don't need to heat up the freshly brewed coffee in the microwave....one hint, when you pour the coffee into your cup, lift the pot up high...otherwise it drips....I'm very happy with mine..and I love the colors.

Hello AnneYes, I believe you will have no problems with microwaving the pot, which is porcelain. I like this coffee pot better than any of te many electic pots that I have tried over the years!

Hi, Judith, I've put the pot in the microwave without a problem mainly to reheat prepared tea on defrost (works great---no loss of flavor) or to heat the water in order to heat the teapot. However, I would never use the microwave to heat the water for tea because it is impossible to gauge if the water is the correct temperature. My guess is that it would be difficult to find any pottery made nowadays which was not microwaveable, don't you think?
