Q: Is there any way to measure the water level inside the press?

The best way to add the correct amount of water is to place the the pot on a kitchen scale, switch the units to grams or ml, (e.g., 8oz = 237 ml, 32oz = 946ml), and pour the correct amount. To determine how much water, divide the weight of the dry coffee grounds in grams by 55, e.g., 17g /55 = 0.309 L or 309 ml, 10.4oz. Remember that some of your water will be absorbed into your coffee grounds. (Hint: I ask Alexa to calculate how much water to add by simply asking, “Alexa, what is 17 divided by 55,” and she happily gives me the right answer every morning.

Q: is it really insulated?

Yes it is, very heavy. Just make sure your water is really boiling. I love the taste of the coffee!

Q: Is this made in China?

Sorry, there is no manufacturing stamp on the press, and nothing on the paperwork to say where it is made.

Q: Does the top completely seal off the spout when in closed position? I'm looking for a tight thermal seal.

No. The top is a single unit of shaped steel with an opening for pouring. You can turn the opening away from the spout, but that doesn't seal it completely. I've found it best to brew coffee with an AeroPress and decant into a bespoke insulated carafe. That method keeps coffee warm for hours and has the advantage of removing the 'fines' so common with French pressing coffee. Those fines continue to steep coffee down to the last pour, which increases bitterness and muddiness with little flavor payoff.
