Has anyone tried drinking hot tea/coffee with this? Its dishwasher safe, although the label indicates "for cold beverages only."

I wouldn't recommend using this with very hot water. It's standard glass and likely less durable than a normal canning jar. If you DO try this, warm the bottle up slowly using your tap water first to bring it up to a warm temperature. Make sure there are no cold spots before adding hot water as it's the difference between cold and hot that causes glass to break.

I have made tea directly in it -- I pour very hot (not quite boiling) water in and add the teabag. I've never had a problem.... but perhaps I'm just lucky. I typically don't put the cover back on until it's cooled a bit.

I do not know if it is dishwasher safe. We keep a drying rack next to the sink. We just rinse the thermos out and hang it upside down. I don't think the jets in the dishwasher could reach way down to the bottom of that thermos is you had coffee grit down there BTW.

I suppose you could, but I use the matching travel cup for coffee. I have never put anything hot in this. One reason to not use this for hot beverages is the size of the drink spout. It's pretty good size and I could see getting a big slug of a hot beverage and really burning yourself. I can say this works really well for my cold beverages so I would think would be fine for keeping hot beverages hot.

There's no way I'd put this in the dishwasher. The cup insulation is very cheap and I think the hot hot water will separate the cup and insulation, and the seal on the top is not well made, so is also unlikely to survive a dishwasher. If you want to wash your thermos, get a real Thermos brand-- this one is NOT.

This was a gift. She said: The mug lid works fine, I think. It does not keep things as hot as in an insulted mug but I am happy with it. I am drinking out of it right now! The basket goes into the dishwasher so I don't have a problem there - but remember, I am not using it for loose tea - just tea bags. There usually is a bit of residue from a tea bag but it rinses out easily. Hope that helps.

It has a rotating spout that you could drink from. I wouldn't advise it for hot drinks as it keeps them at such a high temp. No problem with cold.

I use it mainly for iced tea but have never noticed any plastic taste. This is my second container and I'd order it again.I wouldn't wash it with really hot water. Just lukewarm will do.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

I do not put it in the dishwasher, however i believe it says it can be. Any insulated mug like this i won't put in a dishwasher. But LOVE the mug......

The cup would hold hot beverages just fine, but copper is a great conductor of both cold and heat. I just put some HOT water in a mug and within 30 seconds the cup as well as the handle became too hot to hold. If you were to wear an oven mitt while drinking your hot tea or coffee you should be just fine, but for bare handed use I would not advise it!

Although I have not used in drinking hot coffee, the manufactured material would handle heat. The metal might heat up a little. I have used with cold coffee and it worked great, no coffee taste residing of course I cleaned first.

Just a guess, I have never put it in the dishwasher I would think the top plastic parts (not the silver top) would be top rack safe. the bottom can be easily cleaned with a bottle brush. This is a very good thermos, pre heat or chill and your coffee will be hot for ten hours plus!

I wouldn't recommend it be washed in a dishwasher. Apparently the glue used to seal the base is weakened by remaining in water for any length of time. I love this mug. The coffee will stay hot for 2 hours, but it must be washed by hand and quickly. My first one was washed by hand after being in the sick soaking for 15-20 minutes. Within a week I was at a convenience store getting a refill and the base started to leak. I bought another one and now wash it quickly. It has lasted two years using that method.

I only use this for cold brew tea and coffee. For anything hot, I would be more comfortable using glass or ceramic container/carafe, unless the manufacturer would attest to its safety up to certain temperature.

I don't think you can use it for hot beverages. I have only used it for cold.

I've used the tumbler for over a year daily with boiling water and for iced drinks without a problem.Additionally, I always put it in the dishwasher daily. No problem yet.
