Can it be used to boil water?

How would you do it? Over a flame? Bottle is pretty narrow for that. In the microwave? NO! You don't put metal containers in a microwave.

Sorry David, I don't know. Haven't tried that but it's stainless steel and if you remove the top, why not? However, this particular bottle is not bottom stable and for that reason I don't like it very much and mine would definitely not be able to stay balanced while boiling the water.

It is stainless steel and can probably boil water, but the cap should not be on when heating. I would recommend heating the water in a cup in microwave and then add to bottle. It will be really hot because it only has 1 wall of stainless steel.

Hi . I dont think they intended it to be used that way but i see no reason why it would not work.

Yes! We mainly use the kettle for boiling water for our French press or to speed up cooking time for cooking pasta, boiling potatoes or anything that requires boiled water. I use the infuser mostly during the summer for making large batches of iced tea. It's a bit expensive but worth the price, I use mine everyday, I love it!

Yes. Absolutely! It's good for one slight boil in hot water. It works pretty good for a brief moment, then definitely needs replacing.

Absolutely, this little burner does a great job. It does cook anything that you could cook on a regular stove top. It does boil water and does eggs just fine. I have cooked hamburgers on it and boiled potatoes. It does a great job for the money and I would recommend it for sure.

No, I do not think it will boil water but it does get water hot enough for a great cup of hot coffe. We usually start out with hot water to reduce the wait time for coffee

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense

I'm a little surprised that people are using this to boil water. It is not made for this. This is a pouring device only for use in the pour over coffee technique. You need to use another kettle to boil the water then transfer the hot water to the Hario. If you don't want the get another kettle you will be very limited to the amount, about one half of the kettle, you can use safely. It is not made for the regular process of boiling water. BE CAREFUL.

I would think that one could cook on it. The flame is very adjustable and it certainly could bring a pot to a boil quickly. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to use it for general cooking, however, it really shines for canning or steaming shrimp ect. I have two and both are really nice.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I use it boil water using a volcano stove set up. So at least hot enough to boil water.

I think you could but remember it is plastic so I don't think you'd want to put boiling water in it.

I wouldn't. Not that kind of pot. It is a French Press that boiling hot water is poured over the ground then plunged. It is also double walled. For use in camping, a tea kettle for water is best in my opinion.

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
