The best coffee I've been able to make at home is with a red plastic #4 cone filter holder and a large mason jar, slowly pouring boiled water over the grounds until the jar is full. Now they have those fancy looking chemex ones for $60 and I'm sure they make good coffee as well. I was seduced by the inferior coffee of a coffe maker because, well, it can have coffee ready for me when I wake up.
- TheBiv 13y agoForgive my ignorance, but a mason jar can withstand temperatures of 200+ without shattering? I kind of feel bad asking this bc I have lived my entire life in the south (Dallas, Texas) so I feel like I should already know the answer; yet I don't.
- jonah 13y agoMason jars are intended for canning. Typically that involves a boiling water bath. So, yes.
- cheald 13y agoThey're frequently used to store jams, which can be quite a bit hotter than coffee when prepared. It wouldn't surprise me. Just don't plunge it into an ice bath right after filling it with boiling water.

- 001sky 13y agoIf you mean 200f, yes. The traditional way is to sterilize them with near/boiling water in situ, to preserve foods without trapping pathologens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_jar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_jar
