Yes! Make sure you use the appropriate water filter before the water enters the heater.Many good water filters are sold right here on Amazon.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

it could boil water, but I don't recommend this cooker because the coating on the inside is flaking off already!!!

Negative - BUT, there is a small plastic piece at the top of an internal feature that does get hot. This part is not submerged even when the kettle is beyond the maximum fill line.

Yes--I probably wouldn't put boiling water in it, but we used warmed water in it a couple of times when we needed/wanted hotter water.

No, there isn't a resevoir for water. I would not try to add water to this unit.

No it is all plastic inside. I would not recommend boiling water. It might melt.

No it's not. Great unit but only complaint is that there is no room temp water, just cold or hot which is a problem when making coffee.

No, you would heat the water in a separate kettle. This is only a ceramic pot.

I think it says not for use with potable water. Look into a shark bite fittings - no soldering.

Absolutely. I heated it up on my camp stove and didn't even use the included burner. Works great! You heat up the water to about 100 degrees F and then you can take it anywhere. There is a thermometer on the side.

No, this is meant to brew and serve tea, but not to heat water. I use a separate electric kettle for boiling water.

Yes, it does get hot enough that it needs to cool a bit before you drink it. It is the perfect temperature for steeping teas, or plumping up dried veggie bits in soup mixes. Yes, it can cause burns directly out of the unit, so exercise some caution. All things considered, a great appliance for the purpose! Hope this answers your question!

No. It's meant to be kept on & the water temperature is maintained hot enough to make a cup of coffee or tea instantly. I keep mine on 24/7 and only unplug it if I'm going to be gone overnight or longer.

Unfortunately no, but you can just as easily put cold water in it and run it without worrying that its gonna heat up. The heating thing only keeps hot water warm for a short period because its not meant to actually heat up the water.

Never tried putting hot water in it and would not advise it. It is too delicate
