Can we put very hot water in the bottle? Can this break the sealing rubber in the lid?

You can put hot water and won't damange the pouring plastic. BUT outter casing will be the same temperature as to water temp, you will get burned if not careful. It is not temp control bottle.

Yes, you can put hot water in it... not BOILING or you will melt the plastic tank. You could also do a water vinegar mix if you have some stubborn stains. Just using hot water does the job as well... you don't need to buy those other liquids.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

Dear John, To be on the safe side I WOULD NOT fill the container with hot water. It's rubber and fairly soft, so I only fill it part way to protect yourself and/or others from being burned. Lee

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 use my bottle for coffee in the morning with no problems. The manufacturer warns that hot liquids can cause scolding and discourages from doing, so just be careful. You might not want to drink a hot liquid while moving, but it's OK when at rest. The bottle seal is made of silicone rubber, so it won't melt. The drinking spout is thick plastic, but I've had no problems so far and this is my second Thermos of this type.

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

I would not recommend using it to hold hot water. Only use lukewarm at best. Keep in mind the cap is not airtight, so whatever steam it couldn't hold will put pressure on the cap's seal and lid, and might end up leaking between the walls. I have only used this bottle with lukewarm liquid and that worked OK. I also experimented with carbonated drinks and that resulted in a bit of leaking from the cap. I forgot if the seals leaked, but I definitely got the fizzy liquid on my hands when I opened the cap lid. Now imagine that being trapped hot steam/liquid. I don't think you would want to have that.

Yes you can put hot water in it. Water over about 120F will put small dimples in the outside of the cooler. Stays hot for many hours:) Been using these for portable handwash stations for many years!

By "warming" it, do you mean heat it in the microwave or in hot water? I haven't needed to warm the bottles yet, but you could set the whole thing in hot water, although the water will obviously drip from the sleeve when using it, I would think. These are VERY well made glass bottles, and the sleeve is very well made and durable as well.

Hello,Yes, this bottle can be used for both hot and cold beverages. Take caution when using with hot liquids - the bottle will be hot.The silicone sleeve is protective, but does not guarantee against breakage - do not leave children unattended with bottle.Extreme temperature differences may cause cracking, allow a hot bottle to cool gradually before adding cold liquid.Do not put bottles in the freezer.Shelia

We'll.... Certainly you can PUT hot water in it, but it won't STAY hot, because it is single wall. It is not a double wall "thermos" type of container. The outside will be as hot or cold as the liquid you put into it.

I would advise not to put in microwave or even put hot liquids or carbonated drinks as well. Only put water or other cool liquids to prevent damage to the bottle.

I use these bottles for hot tea all the time and have never had any problems. In the few years that I have owned these bottles, I have only ever lost one when I accidentally left the bottle full of water in the car overnight during an extremely cold winter night. I think that as long as you avoid extreme temperature changes you will be fine. You can always run the bottle under warm water first to warm it up. Also I never pour boiling water directly into the glass, but wait a minute or two.

Sorry, but I've never tried that with any hot water bottle. I don't use this one any longer and don't remember if it has metal in the opening.

Risky with any bottle, I fill 3/4 lid off syran wrap top then insulate top with fabric so bottom freezes first. Only over night, not long term. If you fill steel bottle full put lid on tight something will break.

The Aladdin website says, "yes." I've done mine, and generally had no problem, but as the mug ages, there is a risk that the seal between the inner and outer sections will break and leak, getting water into the gap and reducing the insulating ability. Also, once water gets between the layers, you really wouldn't want to microwave the mug. Things could get too exciting. The water could get in during hand washing, but the wider temperature range of dishwasher washing seems more likely to break the seal earlier. With mine, so far, the rubbery sealing bits in the cap, that seal the mouth and vent openings seem to be the first thing to go, not the inner-outer joint. To maximize the life of the rubbery bits, do not store the mug with the cap snapped shut.
