Is this cold pressed? I heard the US allows you to go up to 400 degrees with cold press.... so just wondering how high this went? Thanks

Hi! Thanks for asking. This is expeller pressed at a temp between 120 and 200 degrees F so it does not damage the oil. Cold pressing doesn't work well for all nuts because they have to be pressed harder to get the oil out so it makes a little heat. You can fry with this oil up to 400-450 degrees before it causes a breakdown in the oil. I mostly saute with it because I don't do much frying but I have fried chicken and pork chops in it and they do great. It is so nice to know that I can do this without producing harmful chemicals that I'm going to eat! Hope this helps : )

Cold pressed means pressed at temperatures below 113 and, usually refers to white untoasted sesame seeds. These are roasted and probably are pressed at a slightly higher temp to extract all the flavor and oil.

I wish I could help, but I only live at 6100 or so. This high altitude coffee pot works fantastic for me, but another 2000+ feet will make a big difference. If I ever take it on a camping trip up to higher elevations, I can try it and let you know! I was told by Bunn that the mechanism works with less air than a traditional pot. How much less air? Who knows?

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. It is expeller pressed meaning a machine squeezed the oil out and the oil may get hot because the temperature is not controlled. The cold pressed maintains a low temp and keeps products less altered and never heated. (Don't know what L. Powers is talking about - that's incorrect.)

I have had my CM-688 for about two years. When new, the temperature in the brew basket was about 195*F. I find thata thick cold mug will cool the coffee too much for my taste so I prewarm the mug. I also use room temperature water sincewater from the faucet in winter seems to affect the brew. Water from the faucet in summer is fine.I checked the temperature in the brew basket this morning and it was about 204*F. By the time a 10oz brew hadfinished, the temp in the mug was 170*F.

Angie - the highest temp setting is 50, and the range of the heat settings is 1-50 so it gets extremely hot. I've never personally cranked it the whole way up, I keep it around 30-35 and I have wavy hair with some random curls at the nape of my neck and it straightens my hair just fine. Hope that helps!

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

You can, this press is great but maybe you need a smaller press, I use my to cold brew coffee I always brew 12 cups. Just remember some preses including this one say 12 cups but 12 6oz cups not a true 8oz. Plus you need to add coffee this lowers the fluid volume as well. So completely full coffee and water yields just about 37oz. I love the press. Let me know if you want a cold brew lesson lol.

Hm, let's see. I never used it on the highest setting because it was too hot. I never went higher than 4 or 5. Mine goes up to H which is one more than 7. For judgement purposes, I have quite high pain tolerance, I can put my hand into near boiling water and take something out. I don't use tongs when making sausage, I just turn them with my fingers. That said, my back is slightly less high tolerance. I tried it with my under the tongue thermometer and the heating pad on 7 (it's working again). The thermometer shut off at 110F, so I used a meat thermometer wrapped in the heating pad. I got 141F.Thanks for asking. It made me get the pad out and try it and now it's working again.

To be honest, when I bought it, it was said for to heat up to 460 degrees but the only thing I dislike about the flat iron is a temp gauge. And it only takes one time for your hair to get heat damage and even though it is a great flat iron, I still need to know what temp to actually set it on so that it won't be so hot....All my other flat irons have a temp gauge of where you can turn it up high or low this one doesn't. And that's the honest truth. Other than that it's good flat iron but I don't use it all the time. I hope this answers your question. :)

Actually, none of these are accurate. I contacted the company and the official temperature is NO MORE THAN 480°. An oily feeling is supposed to be normal, but I would agree that using less than 400° would probably be best. I made public the information pdf that they emailed me. It is located here: http://goo.gl/IaTsT

It goes up to 400 degrees. The iron works pretty well, I have not encountered any problems.

To answer this ? I JUST made a fresh pot. It's Temp. was 175-180 degrees Fahrenheit. As for TASTE ? It makes a GREAT Coffee in MY BOOK !

I have not tried to get it as hot as it would go but I hit 380+ when setting it around 190C by the gauge as measured with a thermometer.Using a mix of pure pressed palm oil, non hydrogenated, mixed with sunflower oil (as I did not have enough palm oil to fill).

There was no "range" on mine. It got warm,but not hot enough to actually press anything. I returned it.
