will hot water shatter it?

No, it is made for hot tea to be drunk from it. Now if you go to extremes boiling hot to super cold or vice-versa most any glass will break.

No, just understand it only holds about 2oz of water. It is NOT a tea "cup" more like a tea sip.

I never intended to test this object to the extreme. I have never planned to use it with water hotter than 85 degrees. I guess it would pop if you did something deliberately extreme like fill it with BOILING HOT water.

NOT. you dont want to risk cracking the ceramic. heat the water on the stove and pour it over the tea basket

I do not. It does not seem like the kind of plastic that can tolerate very hot water.

It should kill anything that would be killed with boiling hot water becaue it operates with scalding hot steam. If this is not enough info contact Euroflex/Monster and ask more information.

I don't think hot water would work well in it. It's insulated with a rubber material. I'm not sure but I can imagine it melting? I would try a reusable microwavable heating pad instead.

As in any glass that is heated and then suddenly exposed to a cold temperature ( turning on the water. There is a high probability that it will crack or break. Make sure water is circulating before you turn the heater on.

Is okay but have to be careful with because spilling hot water for the pipe when is using.

Dear John, To be on the safe side I WOULD NOT fill the container with hot water. It's rubber and fairly soft, so I only fill it part way to protect yourself and/or others from being burned. Lee

Nope. I thought it would be okay based on comments here, but after a week it shattered when adding hot water.

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 don't see why it wouldn't. It's not going to melt unless the water is beyond boiling.

Yes it will. I have used it this way. I also heated water to make hot chocolate and it was too hot to drink at first.

This is a good question. I use hot water but be careful not to re-shape the container.

I never had the problem of the top melting. Due to my own fault, my last one cracked, even on the metal diffuser. I got distracted and let it boil dry. Of course, it cracked. I love this model. Same glass as the more expensive ones. I bought a replacement. Much prefer boiling water in glass than metal.

I don't see why not. The glass should have no problems with hot water. Good luck!!

I put hot water in mine all the time. It's flexible, but the shape keeps it stable.
