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.

How is your Dominican bean coffee.
What have you substituted to your equipment?

Haven't got around to buying the equipment yet.

I have managed to convince my local starbucks to grind my coffee for me though!

A FP won't be far behind!
