I can't follow that at all. As it is I have two presses - a small and a large. Both are steel and both are insulated. In either case, coffee never sits in them long enough to get cool. When I used a Bodum borosilicate press I'd sometimes wrap it with a terri towel or a tea cozy if I was drinking the contents by myself; it never went tepid. Nor sure about the reason to put a press on a stove - wire rack or not.
I do wire-rack my pyrex vacpots (below) as is the recommended practice for boiling - never a problem.
