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...).

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 have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

If you are referring to my comments you should know that the item I received was not a Ball product and it has a warning forged in the glass advising that it is not for hot liquids. I have not reviewed the comment as I write this. It seems obvious to me that the product when used for hot liquids is dangerous and might shatter if you heat it or pour hot liquids into it. I suspect that there are no lids for this for a good reason. If you appreciate your healthy eyes and other body parts, perhaps you should buy a product which is safe for the use you intend.

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.

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

The metal transfers heat very quickly. It's not insulated and you could easily burn yourself trying to hold the cup. Additionally if the plastic top is exposed to high enough heat for long enough it could deform. I would suggest against using it for hot drinks.

Tina,Thanks for asking, a bit surprised you'd ask me as my review was a rather strange one to say the least. It says very plainly NOT to use with hot liquids, but also says 'dish washer safe '??? My dish washer gets pretty hot, especially if I use the dryer (which I usually don't) but have had no trouble with that. With that warning, I've never used one for coffee, but with a dozen of them and just 1 of me, I'll try it out. I see in other comments that they have been using them for coffee with no trouble. What the hell, take a chance. FINS UP! Robbie

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

...the coffee MAY stay hot...but I wouldn't know since the handle is a heat sink, therefore it's impossible to hold UNTIL the coffee cools down. I do not advise the use of this cup for hot beverages.

I haven't used it with hot liquids yet but the mug gets super cold with ice. I think just like any other cup this will get hot with hot liquids but the handle doesn't seem to be effected. I would try hot liquids in it myself personally.

The purpose of the inside cup is for insulation to keep liquids cold without sweating on the outside. I have not used my cup for hot beverages as I prefer not to sip hot beverages through a straw. But it just might work for hot as well as cold. Hope you enjoy it.

NO!!! I wouldn't even put warm liquid in it. When I made my son a cup of warm tea, the graphics flaked off leaving me with a black mug. Iwouldn't do it again.

From my experience with the cup, I never had an issue with that. And there were times when I wanted my tea really really hot cuz it would brew better, I never really felt the hot water in the cup.l nor did I never get burned from the cup. I think what it's made out of is specifically l for that purpose.

I'd love to help you but we returned the thermos. It didn't keep our coffee hot & we never tried the cold liquids. Sorry.

I haven't used the cup. I got it as a gift for my son.I was impressed by the item and how well it is made. Since it is copper, no harm will come to it when using hot liquid.

I bought mine to use as a steaming cup for my espresso machine. I would be concerned though about burns if using them to drink from.
