I want to make fresh coffee in my Vitamix can I use it to strain the hot contents?

In fact, I 'm not if it could stand for hot content, I have never tried. Sorry.

I haven't had personal experience making nut milk, but the filter might separate regular-grind coffee grounds from brewed coffee. Don't know if that's an equivalent mesh. Note that the strainer is not mechanically strong enough to apply pressure to whatever is being strained. Gravity only here.

It can be used the same way you use any other blender or kitchen appliance. My habit I unplug my kitchen appliances when not in use. I truly enjoy my vitamix and you will also. Hope I answered your question.

Yes, as amazing as it sounds, the Vitamix will make soup. I've made cauliflower, broccoli/cheese and acorn squash soup and all were delicious, velvety smooth, and almost too hot to eat right out of the blender. It spins so fast that it heats the ingredients, I suppose.

I assume you could, but you'd have to watch the pot super closely, because that small amount would brew quickly, and when the siphoning of the water happens, it is already quite fast -- a process that you have to be watching closely to make sure you don't let the pot go dry (needs to be removed from the heat as soon as the siphoning starts). I have to add also that, once you taste this coffee, you'll never, ever brew that small of an amount, anyway! :D It's just waaaay too delicious, and you'll wish you had made the whole pot. I hope this helps! I love, love, love this pot to pieces, and if it ever gets broken (my husband is forbidden to touch it! No joke!), I will be buying a new one the same day!

NO. the mesh strainer should be cleaned by hand so your coffee doesn't taste terrible. this is for hand-made coffee. it takes little time to clean the rest of the pot. maybe the top rack. not recommended.

You proably can. You could also just run water through and then make the coffee. I see no problem putting instant in the reusable filter though I have never done it myself.

I add it to our green drink made in the Vitamix. It mixes in well. I suppose you could add it to hot liquids and stir it in.

I guess you could. It's extremely fine mesh so it may take some time. We use it for making iced coffee. The coffee grains stay inside the bag.

NO, you need the MINI TAMPER found here: http://www.amazon.com/Vitamix-Mini-tamper-48-ounce-Free-Tamper/dp/B00B32N4PC/ref=sr_1_1?m=A268FO3IPAT5Y&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1427326562&sr=1-1&keywords=mini Otherwise this tamper will be too long and contact the blade when pushed through the lid during use.

Absolutely. That's what I use it for. I make it 2 parts water to 1 part coconut. It will last in the refrigerator about 5-6 days, so I don't make a lot at a time. I use a Vitamix. Blend the coconut and water for about 2 minutes. Pour the mix into a nut meat bag to strain it. You have to squeeze the bag to get the most milk. (Any fine meshed bag will do but I like the nut meat bag which I ordered online.) I guess you could use several layers of cheesecloth.

NOt a good idea. You can puree items, but liquidy items are best suited for a blender. Especially a high-powered Vitamix! I recommend it!

Yes, but it does help if the liquid is heated before adding to the ingredients in the Vitamix. This tip was provided by a Vitamix demonstrator at Costco. I never walk away from my Vitamix when making soup due to steam buildup. I love the soup recipes in the Vitamix recipe book and I love my Vitamix.

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

They have more experience with the Vitamix if a problem develops. However, what have you got to lose if you try tightening it. Just don't overdo it.

Yes you can. You will need to buy filters the reusable filter did not come with mine. Do not make a full pot of coffee or the grounds will run over as well. Lynn M N
