Can you use this for hot fluids like tea or coffee?

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. It wouldn't insulate and the plastic is somewhat thin and might stretch due to too being heated. Its definitely better for cold liquids but check the manufacturers website and that might give you the information you are looking for.

I wouldn't because I don't know whether the synthetic it is made of is meant for hot beverages.

I wouldn't. This plastic stains easily and will retain a coffee/tea odor and color. It is a GREAT water bottle. But I'd look for something else to carry other types of liquids in.

Yes I use these for coffee and hot tea daily. Wonderful mugs! I am glad I bought them.

No. I don't think that would be a good idea. However , it does keep my coffee and tea hot, then nice and warm for up to two hours. I love it!

No. The coffee makers should only be used to brew coffee or heat water for instant beverages. Preparing other hot beverages such as apple cider, hot chocolate or tea can damage the heating unit and voids the warranty.

I think it would be fine to use it for hot chocolate but I have only used mine for coffee. It works very well and keeps coffee hot for hours.

I see no problem with using this to warm a a coffee mug instead of a teapot ... I have on several occasions, but my primary use is as a teapot warmer.

You can however there is not much of a taste to it. I like to put a tablespoon in a cup of coffee or hot tea and drink like that.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.

I was going to ask the same question. Can this be used to make regular hot coffee as well? I don't have alot of counter space.

It can be used to heat water for instant coffee, cocoa or tea. The instant products are not used in the coffee maker. Thanks for lookingSteve

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 can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

It certainly can be used to heat water (very hot, but not "boiling") for tea, cocoa, or instant coffee. I would not recommend using it for both brewing coffee and heating water unless it is cleaned really well; any coffee residual will impart a slight taste/color to the water. If you will be serving both frequently, separate urns (carefully labelled) would avoid this problem. Plan on at least 1 hr. to get the full 100 cup capacity to max temp. For coffee, follow directions and start with cold, fresh water. Although it may be tempting to start with hot water to shorten the brewing time, you'll get weaker coffee.

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

Not sure this would work for coffee. I have personally never tried it but since it is plastic and double insulated, hot liquids may cause the plastic to expand and possibly crack eliminating the double insulating feature. I'm no expert and haven't tried it, but personally I wouldn't chance it unless you don't mind possibly having to replace it.

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, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.
