Can you use this for hot fluids like tea or coffee?

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. It wouldn't insulate and the plastic is somewhat thin and might stretch due to too being heated. Its definitely better for cold liquids but check the manufacturers website and that might give you the information you are looking for.

I wouldn't because I don't know whether the synthetic it is made of is meant for hot beverages.

I wouldn't. This plastic stains easily and will retain a coffee/tea odor and color. It is a GREAT water bottle. But I'd look for something else to carry other types of liquids in.

Not that im aware of well i dont recall reading it on the package? I used mine only for water so i really dont have the best answer for that, sorry.

Not sure this would work for coffee. I have personally never tried it but since it is plastic and double insulated, hot liquids may cause the plastic to expand and possibly crack eliminating the double insulating feature. I'm no expert and haven't tried it, but personally I wouldn't chance it unless you don't mind possibly having to replace it.

Not really. It's just designed to keep hot stuff cooling down slower. It might heat cold water in an hour or so but not hot enough to make tea and that amount of time could damage the mug.

For this particular item only COLD fluids. Thermos does sell other items that can be used with either Hot and Cold fluids.

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

you can use it for that but it is not well made. I bought a SS Thermos and no longer use this one.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

I would say yes but I've never tried that. It is shaped like a bowl so I think drinking from it would be a bad idea. However if you plan to transfer the coffee after it's heated I would think it would be fine.

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

Yes, we use these type of brew cups to use any of our Tea or Coffee. However we like to use paper filters inside the cup to keep some sediment out of the cup.

yes! this would be great for boiling water which you can then use for oatmeal, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. It will also work great for basic canned items. not sure I would use it to fry an egg though. temperature control is not optimal for that.

That's what we use it for. After writing the review, I called customer service and requested an exchange, hoping that this one was defective. I post a new review when I receive and try the new one. As it is, you can make tea. If you add a lot of cold creamer to your coffee, you may find that it is not hot enough.

You can however there is not much of a taste to it. I like to put a tablespoon in a cup of coffee or hot tea and drink like that.

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.

it can be used for any liquid you want to keep hot, just don't use the steep basket. You cannot put coffee grinds in the steep basket and hope to make coffee though (if that's what you're thinking); the holes in the basket would be too large.

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170°F
