Hello can the coffee maker be used for hot water for tea only

Of course! Just like any coffee maker, you don't need to put coffee in the basket, then hot water will just drop into the carafe where you can put your tea bags.

Yes, that's the first thing I did when I got mine. I made a pot of tea. Since then I have made tea with both loose tea and tea bags. Turns out fine either way. Seems to work well for either tea or coffee. It's not scalding hot, but hot enough.

Yes I use it a lot for my hot tea and if u are using it for a longer brewing time I just set the pot on the hot plate part of it

It only uses the specific pods, which are not like any others. To make a regular coffee you have to make an espresso and add hot water, basically make an americano. I haven't found any tea pods yet.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

I use my 12 cup coffee maker but add approx. 6 to 12 cups additional hot water (depending how strong you want it). I'm probably closer to 6. It makes a lot of tea!

Of course. I have seen 3 of these at events. One reg coffee, one decaf and one with hot water for tea and/or etc.Once you make coffee in it you might have hot water that has a hint of after taste. May take several runs of just heated water to completely clear it. Go for it, the cost for this unit is more than fair.

I have not used it to steep tea but it keeps coffee incredibly hot for hours so I don't know why it wouldn't work for tea. One key is to fill the carafe with very hot tap water and let it sit, with the lid on, for about 5 minutes.

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.

I think it would have to go through the brew cycle to make hot water i would think you could do that by not putting in the coffee

I personally have never used it to heat water for tea. It takes a good 25 minutes for it to brew coffee so if I were going to use it for hot tea water, I think I would: - Heat a small amount of water in the urn until it shifted over to the WARM function - Boil the remaining amount of water separately and then pour it into the urn Otherwise, you might plan on allowing 30 minutes to heat a full urn of water. Hope that helps!

It does work for hot tea, because you add ice to the carafe to make it ice tea. But the carafe only fills up about 1/3, which probably amounts to a good sized pot of hot tea, but it won't make a truly giant pot of tea. My husband prefers using the coffee maker for tea as it has a burner to keep the tea warm.

You can use it for hot water but need to buy the K cup insert that the machine recognizes & then dispenses the water

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

We just used it for hot water. If I remember correctly, there was an insert into which you could to make coffee. I would assume you would use a paper filter for it.

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

Yes. The small spout coming off the right side as you look at the picture is for hot water only. You can choose how many ounces each cup is as well.
