Hello, If you mean hot tea and coffee, yes they will work. Thank you for your interest.

Yes. The straw is large and easy to be used. The temperature of the drinks is manteined too.

Burn potential: The straws are made of steel so they will quickly reach the temperature of the liquid they are in. There's no insulation so there is the possibility to get burned but its not very likely because these straws help hot drinks cool down just like a metal spoon would. Toxic exposure: Since the straws are made of stainless steel they will not release any phalates or other chemicals into your warm or hot drinks. Therfore, plastic straws are much more dangerous in this regard. There's a much greater potential for danger when using these straws with cold drinks because these straws are fairly slender and do not change shape or collapse easily. If you find yourself rushed for time in the morning trying to suck down a frosty smoothie that is incredibly thick, your brain could possibly implode.

Although the instructions say not to use with hot liquids, judging from the great build material of the bottle, It can definitely be able to hold hot beverages. Just make sure the tea is already brewed prior.

I haven't tried, because it isn't intended for hot liquids. I have a Nissan Thermos that works well for hot liquids. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000K604P0?cache=3f07a5255f904c4a9f65f6d8e89e42c2π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1410725795&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I don't think so. First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury. Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

Yes. They're made of silicon, so you won't get a drink hot enough to melt them. They're not so thick that you won't be able to feel the liquid coming up, but not so thin that they're flimsy, either.

The straws are about the same width as mcdonalds large straws, they work great with shaved ice and probably would work with milk shakes.

They are nice straws but they are quite big around so I think you would have to be very careful not to draw up to much liquid so you don't burn your mouth. They work great for smoothies and those type of beverages. Hope this helps...

Yes. I just use plastic straws similar to those at fast food restaurants and those work fine.

I would guess a straw would work as long as you aren't going to go swishing it around in your mouth first. Probably a better question for Redmond Trading Company directly though.

I used these for iced tea and lemonade. You could put hot tea in them, but it would be difficult to drink with the straw and taking the top off would not be an option. Hope that helps.

First off, you're not drinking your liquid at 212 degrees. I brew my white tea at 190 degrees and within 15 minutes I'm drinking it using my stainless steel straw with absolutely no problem. So, the answer is YES you can use this straw with hot liquids!

Sorry, I've never used them with hot drinks. I have the mug & the straw is excellent when you're working out & need a quick big sip of water!

Yes, a straw will fit into the drinking slot on this mug. The mug will keep coffee hot for about an hour and I use it daily.

I think they should work for any straw that is fairly straight. It is fairly flexible, so I have used it for sippy cup straws that have a curve at the top, and it manages fine.

I wouldn't recommend drinking them with anything that might burn your lips. The straws easily become the temperature of what you are drinking, so I'd be careful.
