I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

I would say yes but I've never tried that. It is shaped like a bowl so I think drinking from it would be a bad idea. However if you plan to transfer the coffee after it's heated I would think it would be fine.

It's an insulated tumbler - so I am not sure if using a cup "warmer" would be a very efficient way to keep a beverage warm - that being said - it is a plastic cup and if the warmer gets very hot - may damage the cup...

I am pretty sure that the cup is made of a silicone based material, and I have never known it to smell funny. That being said, I have never used it for coffee or other hot, strong smelling liquids. It has never added taste to a cold liquid, but I am not sure about hot liquids. It says it can withstand temperatures of 180 degrees, so you should be fine with coffee, but I have no definite answer. Hope I could help, and sorry I couldn't give you a clear answer!

I just bought this thermos and the instruction/care booklet said not to be used for hot liquids. Better to be safe than sorry and burned. Hope this helps.

I've never used it for hot beverages, I'm sure it would work just fine. I'd say the only drawback might be that the glass gets a bit warm, but it is insulated by the shatterproof plastic so it should still be comfortable to hold.

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

I use my bottle for coffee in the morning with no problems. The manufacturer warns that hot liquids can cause scolding and discourages from doing, so just be careful. You might not want to drink a hot liquid while moving, but it's OK when at rest. The bottle seal is made of silicone rubber, so it won't melt. The drinking spout is thick plastic, but I've had no problems so far and this is my second Thermos of this type.

I have used the cup for heating milk. I did not feel any noticeably heated surface.... just a bit warm because of heated milk inside.

That's what we use it for. After writing the review, I called customer service and requested an exchange, hoping that this one was defective. I post a new review when I receive and try the new one. As it is, you can make tea. If you add a lot of cold creamer to your coffee, you may find that it is not hot enough.

I use it for coffee, but you could take the "guts" out and heat water if you like.

No, it's not a coffee cup or mug, it's a thermos. Use a percolator, coffee tastes better.

Sorry, but I have not tried it with hot beverages because I bought it only for cold liquids.

Hello! The thermos bottle is awesome! I cant say that we have put hot liquids but we have put warm liquids in & it's been great in keeping it warm. Overall, I think it's great for both hot & cold liquid.

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

I've never used them with hot liquid. However, when I use them with cold liquid the straws themselves get as cold as my beverage. My guess is one would experience a similar situation with hot liquids. The straw is going to become as hot as the liquid within it.
