I know this is an odd question.I had to quit coffee and tea.I have been adding this to hot water.Does the hot water degrade the ingredients at all?

Good question. Because I've never thought about mixing in hot water I honestly don't know if that can happen. I usually check "reputable/credible" websites such as Mayoclinic.org and webmd.com for information that's medical or health related--don't know if those sites would help you with this concern. Hope this helps.

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

Since the water comes out hot, you can add the amount of sugar that you want before you start making the drink. I have not had any problems with it dissolving. You can also use a liquid sweetener if you desire (such as agave).

When I got this message I finally changed out the filter and that fixed the issue. They have a big pack of filters on Amazon pretty cheap so I change ours out every 30-days. We make about 8-10 cups of coffee a day and use the hot water feature for cocoa, soups and tea. Hope this helps!

Not sure what happened with the other folks but mine will be 2 years old next month and I haven't had a single issue. My Keurig brand before this only lasted 1 year. I use mine about 6 times a week. Coffee, tea and cocoa.I do use R/O water (though I read that I should not), as I want my coffee to taste good.

It would ruin the tea or coffee, Pretty strong stuff! I keep mine in the frig. & just take it cold. much better!

Yes, I use it for tea and instant hot chocolate. But remember to remove the coffee grounds filter basket. Even if you clean it after every use, I notice a coffee taste in the water when it runs through the coffee filter basket even if it's clean and empty.

I don't notice coffee smell after a hot water and detergent wash. Coffee is a pretty hard odor to get rid of completely. I'm not sure it would be completely gone if you did a careful test.

Nope! Leave the collar on. Rinse the pot after all coffee is gone...just swirl with a tad of hot water, but try to keep the collar dry. Be sure to empty and rinse every night before going to bed. If you have left over coffee, put in another cup in the fridge (cover). Always take out filter after brewing. Once a week, I use a tad of dish soap and a bottle brush (like for baby bottles)which will get rid of any left over residue from the week. Rinse thoroughly with hot water, again, keeping the collar dry. Then air dry. It's really a piece of cake. I've used Chemex for over 40 years...wouldn't trade it for anything!!

Yes. The coffee needs to be hot to melt the oil, if it isn't hot enough, the oil won't melt and you get chunks of solidified oil. It doesn't need to be so hot that it would burn you if you drank it. The oil will sit on top of the coffee and almost looks like a pool but you just need to stir it again. Doesn't have any impact on the taste of the coffee at all. It works in hot tea as well.

Not that I noticed. I drink it because I usually brew enough for two cups at a time.It is the only tea I've found that is drinkable after being reheated. Of course the fresh cup tastes far better but the reheated cup is at least drinkable. Of course it is always best to brew fresh each time but I'm too lazy sometimes ;-}

I heat the water in a regular tea kettle, then pour the water over the tea into the pot. After it has brewed I then transfer the brewed tea to another pot so the tea doesn't get too strong. Of course you can take out the insert but watch burning you hands. B Hardy

I think it would be okay with extra hot water. The oils from the coffee might leave some residue.

I mostly made sun tea, but I've washed it in very hot water in the dishwasher and had no problem

Wow! Never heard of this. First suggestion: Clean the pot with water and vinegar. Experts disagree on the ratio of water and vinegar. Some say equal parts. Some encourage a 2 or 3:1 ratio; two to three parts water to one part vinegar. Whatever ratio you decide to use, shut the pot off partway through the cycle for about 30 minutes and let the solution set. After the cycle is complete, run another cycle of water. Hopefully this will remove any taste in the tubes or other parts of the coffee pot. Also note your water supply. Any changes there? Consider your coffee. Is this a new can of coffee? If, after cleaning, you are still having problems, call Cuisinart. They were very helpful when we had a problem with our first machine. Wishing you the best in resolving this problem.

I haven't found the filter to make a difference in my coffee. However I have found that it takes a long time after descaling even with lots of rinsing, to restore the taste. See if plain water tastes the same as it does directly from the tap but after you've run it through
