can this container withstand holding hot water?

We bought this as a gift for someone and I believe they were just using it for cold liquid.

It can hold 2L hotwater. It's enough for two persons, keeping temperature well. I didn't put hot coffee or any cold beverage into it. just for hotwater.

I only use a ceramic mugs. The heating element gets pretty hot, so I personally would not use a plastic container. I don't know what the ramifications are of having a metal heating element come in contact with a metal container, but there is the possibility of the metal getting hot and causing the housing to heat up, thus causing damage. I would stick to using a container that does not melt or conduct electricity. I hope my ramblings help. Be safe!

It's plastic so I wouldn't. They make a stainless steel version which would be better for hot liquids.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

It is sturdy plastic that does not get extremely hot even holding boiling water. I use heat pads if I need to hold it for longer than just afew seconds. PBA, not sure.

I don't think it could handle boiling water. It doesn't mention water temperature in the enclosed instructions one way or the other. But it's specifically meant for outdoor use on a hose bib, so that would obviously exclude boiling water. I could imagine that warm water would be fine, but it's an all plastic construction, I would be very surprised if this would withstand actually boiling water.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

Yes. It has a rather thick bottom to it, although its hard to tell from the pictures that is the case. It is very sturdy and does well for boiling water or hot dishes.

I don't think you'd be able to carry the degree of heat it would take to deform this heavy duty plastic. However, I don't think it would be suitable for hot beverages because there is no sort of heat insulation or protection.

I guess I haven't tried with any hot liquids yet, but it seems like it would be ok. It's made of a fairly sturdy plastic.

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!

I poured really hot water (not boiling) in it and it lasted the whole night. It was still warm in the morning. If you are asking if the bottle lasts long or not then I would say it looks sturdy enough and I expect that it will last for years.

Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

This is a very durable how and has held up well so far. I have not tried to run hot water through it, but I believe hot tap water would be fine.

I'm sure it is since it can handle boiling hot water. However, it's better to hand rinse to avoid a soapy taste. This makes drinking tea fun. It's the little things in life
