How hot does the water get? Hot enough that it needs to cool down before drinking anything made with the water?

The water gets very hot just like you boiled it on the stove. So yes you would have to let it cool down before drinking. But if you don't want it that hot only fill the cup partway, heat that amount of water, empty to the cup and add cool water for the desired drinking temperature.

It gets boiling hot. It is faster than the microwave and have used this product for many yrs. It hasn't been easy to find a replacement for this product. But we are happy that Amazon has made it available. it is such a convenience. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does get hot enough that it needs to cool a bit before you drink it. It is the perfect temperature for steeping teas, or plumping up dried veggie bits in soup mixes. Yes, it can cause burns directly out of the unit, so exercise some caution. All things considered, a great appliance for the purpose! Hope this answers your question!

Hi Jessica....I have been using the Hot Shot for over 4 years now and love them. I found they only last for approx 18 months using it several times a day (I am an avid tea drinker!). To answer your question, the water boils. I have milk in my tea so am able to sip on it straight away as the milk helps cool the tea. Hope this info helps.

Yes, that hot. It's great for steeping tea, and reconstituted dried veggies in soup or dip mixes. Yes, it is hot enough to burn, so caution is advised! Hope this answer helps!

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

Not sure of the exact surface temperature but it does keep drinks hot. I did a quick 10 minute experiment with a mug of cold water from a faucet & it was lukewarm after 10 minutes. I don't know if it would've heated up fully if I had left it on longer. Also, without a thermometer to make my experiment a bit more scientific, I can't tell you exactly what the temperature difference actually was at the end of 10 minutes.

Not if you want it hot. We used it for a hot water urn and the water was lukewarm.

Best I can tell the range is from 46F to 66F. We leave it about 54F. To us that's a reasonable drinking temperature.

To make good, proper, hot tea, you need boiling water. This brewer does not get that hot. I don't know what the actual temp is, but it's definitely not boiling. You can make tea, of course, at lower temperatures, but it's not nearly as good. Hope this helps.

yep, that is normal (it functions by boiling the water to vapor and drips out, so it will be hot for a good bit.) I like to make some ice cubes out of it to have on hand if my husband is impatient for cool water. I personally enjoy warm water (with a little lemon) as it is closer to the body's temperature. Don't forget to add minerals back to your distilled water (a little pinch of pink salt and a pinch of baking soda will get you some great alkalizing water)

The water stays hot for quite a while. I use it to have boiled water for the baby formula. Then cool it for the next day. I love using it for having water for tea better than the microwavve. Hope this helps.

Your not supposed to use boiling water. The water should be slightly warm. I've never had issues with it being too hot.

No idea. Enough to keep a hot cup of tea hot. But if I'm not drinking it right away, it cools down.

I ran some water through it and it is approx. 200 degrees F. Very hot but that is the best for the coffee!

The water needs to be hot when you pour it in. After that, it keeps it hot a long time.

No. It does get warm but not really hot. I have had no trouble with drinking hot tea from this mug.

My daughter received this hot water bottle from us. She says she has put the hottest water from the tap and then hot water from the tea kettle into it. Hot water from the kettle is too hot to put in by itself. She reports that approximately 45 minutes later, it is at least warm. Enjoy!

It heats the water rather nicely. I have even had to turn the heat off because it got to hot. I still start with warm water just so it heats up faster but have put in cold water before. It took about 5 min to warm up to a nice temperature.

Sort of depends on what 'hot' is to you. I've had 3-4 hours of good temp. for my coffee with this thing. Does really well on keeping ice water icy as well!

I put quite warm water in it..and it is very comfortable for at least 30 minutes...I luv mine!
