Can I pour hot water in directly?

I am not sure that pouring very hot (e.g. boiling) water in it is a very good idea. It's not insulated, so it would get very hot to hold, plus I'm not sure whether the plastic would emit any chemicals due to hot water or not. I put relatively warm water in it with no troubles, but it's only about 100F or so.

I wouldn't. The directions in the bottle insert specifically said that this is for cold liquids only. Hope that helps!

I've done it although it is made of hard plastic. I prefer to use it for cold drinks. If you want something for hot drinks, I recommend the Thermos vacuum insulated bottles.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

I have and I've put it in the dishwasher...I believe it's really durable..... I'm enjoying mine!

I don't recommend put the hot water in this bottle. I prepare put warm or cold drink in it. It is good for hiking.

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

Yes the water is boiling you will see steam come from the unit. Just add cold water or from the faucet or bottled.

No, do not put it on direct heat. I do keep it on a hotplate on the lowest burner setting to keep already hot water hot.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

No, you can not dispense hot water from this machine. Like another poster stated, you can "steam" it .... OR you can simply run without the thingy in it, i.e., the thing you put the coffee in .... the ONLY thing is, if you decide to go either route, make sure it's clean ... otherwise, a) you'll get milk deposits in your steamed water, b) you'll get coffee ground in your hot water .... Maybe it's just best to heat it in the microwave ....

Not sure why you would do that as the unit heats up quite quickly . You do need distiller water

I bought it for my son. He said he's been able to pour boiling hot water through it without any problems.

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.

Yes, you can put hot water in it... not BOILING or you will melt the plastic tank. You could also do a water vinegar mix if you have some stubborn stains. Just using hot water does the job as well... you don't need to buy those other liquids.

The straw inside is stainless steel so yes, you can fill it with boiling hot water.

yes you can drink directly from thermos when you completely remove the inner lid, but I prefer to pour it into lid to drink.

No. The water only touches glass, except for the top/lid and built in filter at the spout. You could open the lid before pouring, but watch out, it will be hot if it just finished boiling. I think it's a wonderful product, and would still buy another!

No, you would heat the water in a separate kettle. This is only a ceramic pot.

Pouring already hot water should be OK but I don't use it in the microwave..I prefer Pyrex for microwave use.

I guess you can, but why do you need this unit if you already have a hot water source?

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
