We would like to use this teapot for coffee... would it work?

I'm afraid that would exclude you from entering Tea-Heaven! But at least you would enjoy a beautiful pot with no dripped coffee down here...

It may if you do not grind the coffee too finely. Great idea. I'll give it a try and let you know

I tried it for coffee and it does not work very well. Coffee was much weaker than a french press. Same company has a French press that I have my eye on!

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

I checked the infuser and it holds almost half a cup in it. It is very large for the size of the pot which holds 2.5 to 3 cups of liquid. I think you would be able to make very strong tea with it.

I do not believe that is possible. I understand though, because frequently I wish it would keep warm longer. It doesn't go into timer mode until it reaches temp and counts down the set brewing time. The teapot has several design flaws, but it does brew well. The other one in the running is the Breville, but much more money and I am not sure the features are any better.

What i meant when I asked if I could use it simply like a teapot was if I could make tea or coffe in another gadget and use it only to serve the them like if it was let's say thermal carafe . Thank you.

I wouldn't put it in a teapot - just put it in your mug and pour the water over top and let it steep in the mug.

Yes it will. Get Tea filters for coffee brewers to make it even more convenient. However, tear of the top flap before brewing.

I would not try it. I have never even considered putting the glass carafe from my coffeemaker directly onto a burner. BTW, how the heck would you get the hot water out of the teapot then back into it and through the tea leaves in the strainer without using some other vessel? I use a metal tea KETTLE to heat the water then pour it into the tea pot. I do set the pot on the metal ring that holds a tea-light candle- that and the cozy I made for this pot keep the tea warm for hours...p.s. it is the ring that came with the other, larger teapot I bought here on Amazon.

I haven't tried it myself, but it is doubtful that it would provide good results. Most teas call for just under boiling water and steeped at three minutes, give or take. I don't think the Keurig get's quite that hot, but more importantly, it won't steep the tea. It'll just drip water through the tea.You might use the Keurig to heat water, and then steep the tea in the hot water it makes. Might not be quite hot enough, but the results will likely be better than 'brewing' it in that little k-cup strainer thing.

The lid itself is too small to fit over most coffee mugs, at least mine. It would just sink to the bottom if you tried. It's only about 2 inches across so if you have a particularly small tea cup, it might work.

I've used it on my coffee pot and it works great. I would think the same to be true of tea stains.

We tried before, it works but the grinder has issues. We are using the machine now without the coffee grinder. I am trying to use a $150 machine for coffee machine I could have paid less $50 for. Good luck

I broke my teapot right off the bat. I replaced it with a coffee carafe from an old coffee maker. It gets as hot as the warmer on a coffee maker gets - I wouldn't put my decorative china teapot on it.

A definite NO. This infuser was designed for use with a standard size, single-serving tea cup, coffee cup, or mug. It was not intended to brew a tea pot full of tea in one go.

It would work for tea. Loose leaf if you use the plunger. Bagged tea would also work because the plunger assembly completely comes apart. The pieces simply screw together. This is a quality press and works very well.

Not sure but I think it might. I'm assuming you would need to let it steep longer than tea.

We don't drink too much tea but the coffee grounds we use in this coffe maker are pretty fine and we don't use a filter and the coffee turns out great! So I think it should work for hot tea as well. Hope this helps .
