Is this good for both hot and cold drinks?

The lid does have a plastic or rubber type seal in it, so I would think that exposure to something extremely hot could eventually warp the seal. I wouldn't hesitate to put hot tea in it though and keep upright. The glass is very thick and the lid absolutely leak-proof. I put these in my kids lunches and have no concern that they will break or leak. Its a very sturdy product. I put bottle and lid in the dishwasher (perhaps as many as 50 times) and have no troubles. I hope that is helpful!

I'm not sure. Since it's glass it could be used fot borth, but there is a rubber seal inside the lid so I think the previous answer is right.

YES. I emailed the company to find out. You can use your insta hot tap to clean it. I believe they said no problem to 205 or 210 deg F. I put mine in dishwasher on sanicycle with no problems. If you fill it with hot liquid don't touch the glass viewing area only use the rubber surround !!!

Yes ! but be careful with hot drinks. Make sure to watch the handle doesn't come loose.

Yes I use it for tea or coffee. It works really well and keeps liquids hot or cold for about 3 hours.

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.

We used a mixed hot and cold. No problem. The plastic is pretty heavy duty and I think you will have no problems with running hot water.

It has two switches on the back for hot and cold if those are off it can be room temp. I have found that the Hot at times can be scolding while other times it takes longer to get hot while pouring. Cold can make condensation on a glass. I'm not a huge fan of ice in my drinks so its cold enough for me to chug a pint of water and move on with my now hydrated body.

I have only used this for cold tea. I use this at work, however if it is advertised to hold hot tea I feel sure you could because the cold tea stays cold all day.

I have only used mine for cold drinks and they do a decent job of that in summer weather. I would have to guess they would work equally well with bottles of warm liquids for a period of time also. They aren't double walled like some containers you can buy else where and generally do keep hot/warm liquids warmer for a longer period of time.

I don't know whether the type of plastic of which the cup is made would be safe for hot drinks. I can say that, if you could get the cup to work at all with the top on, then using it for hot drinks would not be a good idea and would probably be a bit dangerous. I do not recommend this cup at all even for cold drinks - I especially wouldn't recommend it for hot.

You can use it for any hot (or cold) liquid, tea works just fine. With tea I do find that I usually need to let the tea cool down a bit with the lid off before I can drink it but once it's to the right temperature it will keep the temperature hot for a decent amount of time with the lid back on.

Yes, it does. But this item is not meant to be used with hot beverages, according to the manufacturer (probably because of the risk of burning one's mouth). I use it in wintertime with slightly warm tea, nevertheless.

Yes and a good thing too, it's not insulated so hot beverages go cold fairly quickly.

I've only used it for cold drinks. It's heavy stainless steel so would assume it would keep hot too.

No . Since it is plastic , it is only good for cold or room temp beverages. Contigo makes a stainless steel for hot.

Good question. Unfortunately I have never used it for hot items. Sorry I could not be of more help. Great for keeping things cold.

Yes, you can. That is exactly what I do. I find it mixes better with hot beverages rather than cold.

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.
