Has anyone tried drinking hot tea/coffee with this? Its dishwasher safe, although the label indicates "for cold beverages only."

I wouldn't recommend using this with very hot water. It's standard glass and likely less durable than a normal canning jar. If you DO try this, warm the bottle up slowly using your tap water first to bring it up to a warm temperature. Make sure there are no cold spots before adding hot water as it's the difference between cold and hot that causes glass to break.

I have made tea directly in it -- I pour very hot (not quite boiling) water in and add the teabag. I've never had a problem.... but perhaps I'm just lucky. I typically don't put the cover back on until it's cooled a bit.

I drink hot tea in mine. I place a tea bag and pour boiling water in it. I have had no problems.As a chemist I am used to working with pyrex beakers and see no difference in the quality of the beaker mug and beakers in the lab.

I haven't washed it in the dishwasher, but I'm pretty sure it is dishwasher safe. It's an easy to clean cup so I always handwash it. As for the microwave, no I wouldn't put it in the microwave. I re-heated coffee in this cup in the microwave, and the cup was EXTREMELY hot. Hot enough to burn and sting my fingers. Dishwasher = probably okay. Microwave = NO.

I just checked, the bottom of the pot says dishwasher and microwave safe. I have never made tea in a microwave, so I can't comment on that. Also, I hand wash all my tea cups and teapots because I find tea stains get set in the dishwasher. I use a denture tablet to remove tough teapot stains.

There's no way I'd put this in the dishwasher. The cup insulation is very cheap and I think the hot hot water will separate the cup and insulation, and the seal on the top is not well made, so is also unlikely to survive a dishwasher. If you want to wash your thermos, get a real Thermos brand-- this one is NOT.

I would not drink a hot beverage directly from the stainless version. There is a silicone version (http://amzn.com/B00FP6JFNM) that is a much better solution for hot drinks.

I have never tried this, but I do wash them in hot water and they are fine. I would say it would be safe as long as you run them under hot water first and be sure to get the inside and outside equally hot. I love them for cold drinks, because they don't sweat, and they keep the drink cold for a long time. I guess they must keep hot drinks warm for quite some time, too.

I am sorry to hear this Jacquelyn H. I have only hand washed my "Morning Mug." I didn't want to chance the heat from a Dishwashing unit to damage the mug. I would see about getting a "Refund" for the mug, Especially if it said it was dishwasher safe. I hope things work out for you on this matter.

i have not tried tea, only cold beverages. I LOVE these glasses though, they were a big hit at my wedding a month ago!

It says to only use for cold, but I have used it for hot drinks and it worked great - but you have to be careful when drinking from it if your drink is really hot.

I never wash my to-go mugs in the dishwasher. I have in the past but it seemed to cause problems with the seal, which caused the mugs to leak if tipped. Also the seal being warped means the liquid inside cools quicker. That might not be a problem if you drink it quickly, but I sometimes get busy and need an hour or so to get back to my coffee. This mug keeps things warm that long if the seal is in good shape. I guess you could wash them in the dishwasher, but it will affect the life of the mug.

I don't think hot drinks are recommended for this. The advertisement says cold drinks and I honestly haven't tried to put anything hot in it. The rubber straw and the inside part of it dont seem like it could withstand anything hot.

Based on descriptive data from the Lifefactory website, I wouldn't recommend it. While there is probably no danger of the glass cracking with hot water, it's designed for cold drink use.

It would be safe to put tea bag in tumbler & let it steep, just like hot coffee is perfectly fine. You certainly can't boil water in the tumbler.

I'm not sure why they advertise that it is great for all beverages because in my opinion it's not intended for hot drinks. Great for cold ones though. I bought it for my father in law to drink water out of on the go because he he doesn't like drinking out of plastic bottles. He says he can taste the plastic. He uses this frequently as an alternative. Hope this helps you out.

I've only used it for ice water thus far but the product description says "Dishwasher safe and shock resistant"...most dishwashers heat the water to 140 degrees so it can at least handle that. 140 degrees is too hot to drink for most people but if you were brewing tea, you'd need it even hotter (anywhere from 175 to 212 depending on the variety of tea leaves) and coffee is around 185-200 (at least pro/commercial grade brewers...homeowner grade might be lower). I think you'd be fine with hot/warm water but maybe preheat the glass by filling it with warm water before you go brewing tea or filling with extra hot water. I checked the manufacturer's website and no additional detail was listed - also, it's not advertised as "borosilicate glass" (more expensive glass that can handle very extreme heat/cold) so stick with preheating if you are going to use extra hot water.

No. I really like my cup. I've had no problems with it & put it in the dishwasher sleeve & all.
