Yes! I don't reccomend mircowaving it, but it works with hot liquids as well

I would be hesitant to serve anything hot in it, which you probably wouldn't do anyway. Tin teapot and cups would become hot also. But something cold or warm should be okay.

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

MY opinion would be not to use HOT tea in the cups. And since you're talking about children, you sure wouldn't be using hot tea. I've used it with water and a small tea pot, and the kids love pouring more than anything. So to answer your question ...yes, but with certain restrictions.

i don't know if it said specifically not too but i don't see why not.. we have only used it for cold drinks but i think it would work just as well for hot and would do a good job as this thing keeps things cold for days it's great

you can use it for that but it is not well made. I bought a SS Thermos and no longer use this one.

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170F

it can be used for any liquid you want to keep hot, just don't use the steep basket. You cannot put coffee grinds in the steep basket and hope to make coffee though (if that's what you're thinking); the holes in the basket would be too large.

Yes you can. I put hot coffee in mine and put it in the frig, but I'm also having a problem with the leads leaking when I pour from it. It usually makes a mess. I am looking to replace mine.

I tried a hot beverage once but found out the whole cup gets hot making it difficult to hold. Wouldn't recommend it for hot beverages.

I'm sure you can put hot liquids in it, yes, but it's such a flimsy and weak piece of equipment, I would not recommend it.

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

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

I don't think you would want to use this for coffee. In this tea kettle, the water circulates through the infuser. The tea is then infused. When you make coffee, the technique is more a drip. You want the water to drip through the coffee, not continue to circulate through it. Also, after examining the holes in the infuser part of the tea kettle, I think the coffee grinds are too fine and would fall out of the holes.

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

I suppose you could use it for hot beverages but I use it to keep sport drinks & water cold on bike trips...works great
