Can I fill it with the very hot water (boiling water)? If I do so, will it leak?

No it will not leak, I have filled it with boiling water and it was no problem. Remains hot for a long time. One word of advice in filling the bottle, do it very slowly so it doesn't get an air bubble and spit boiling water on your hand as you hold it. I filled it too quickly and got burned. Once filled make sure you close the stopper tight. Hope this helped and I love mine.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

Yes, by the time the pot is fully boiling, the metal body is very hot. I would only fill the pot about 2/3 way from the bottom so there is no spillage while boiling. Great appliance for traveling I think, but most hotels have some kind of hot water available in Asia or US. I was thinking that this combined with the Aeropress, mini-Japanese grinder and yixing teapot with two small cups make great utility, but very bulky still.

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170°F

I would not recommend it. It will leak unless you can manage to keep it very still.

The little instruction booklet clearly says "Do not use the product if it is filled with water to the brim. Always fill the product with water only up to the proper level. Overfilling the product may result in hot water to boil over and may result in burn injury." Seems pretty simple and straightforward: leave some room for the water to expand as it heats, just as you would with any other pan or kettle.

Yes, I believe so. I have poured very hot if not boiling water in to it and have never had a problem.

NO. I have had mine for almost a year now and I absolutely LOVE this thing. I drink A LOT of tea and it is perfect to fey your water boiling in no time.

I would imagine that this dispenser would be perfect for that, I'm just not sure if I would recommend boiling hot filling as it is plastic.

We'll.... Certainly you can PUT hot water in it, but it won't STAY hot, because it is single wall. It is not a double wall "thermos" type of container. The outside will be as hot or cold as the liquid you put into it.

I just poured 8 cups into the pot, and it was filled to just above the shoulder. I wouldn't boil it with that much water in it, though; it would be in danger of boiling out.

Yes. Absolutely! It's good for one slight boil in hot water. It works pretty good for a brief moment, then definitely needs replacing.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that. The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

You don't need to fill it with hot water. Just fill with regular water and correct amount of coffee and it will brew as many cups as you put in.

I know when I use mine I fill it about half full with warm water. Then I snap it on top of the rest of the unit and plug it in. I have not had any leakage doing it that way.

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.
