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 didn't try warm beverage. I tried it with cold water/juice and it holds cold temperature for hours.

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

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.

The bottom of the mug says that the lid is dishwasher safe but the body is for hand wash only. Still, it is a great mug. It holds my coffee hot for at least 4 hours and it does not spill one bit. I hand wash it.

I don't know whether the type of plastic of which the cup is made would be safe for hot drinks. I can say that, if you could get the cup to work at all with the top on, then using it for hot drinks would not be a good idea and would probably be a bit dangerous. I do not recommend this cup at all even for cold drinks - I especially wouldn't recommend it for hot.

I've only used it for ice water thus far but the product description says "Dishwasher safe and shock resistant"...most dishwashers heat the water to 140 degrees so it can at least handle that. 140 degrees is too hot to drink for most people but if you were brewing tea, you'd need it even hotter (anywhere from 175 to 212 depending on the variety of tea leaves) and coffee is around 185-200 (at least pro/commercial grade brewers...homeowner grade might be lower). I think you'd be fine with hot/warm water but maybe preheat the glass by filling it with warm water before you go brewing tea or filling with extra hot water. I checked the manufacturer's website and no additional detail was listed - also, it's not advertised as "borosilicate glass" (more expensive glass that can handle very extreme heat/cold) so stick with preheating if you are going to use extra hot water.

It says to only use for cold, but I have used it for hot drinks and it worked great - but you have to be careful when drinking from it if your drink is really hot.

i havent used mine for hot drinks , and would probably avoid anything HOT HOT . one of my coworkers also has one , and said it got screwed up when he put it in the dishwasher instead of hand washing it , so i would think anything HOT HOT would ruin it . . but if its just really warm , it should keep it warm for quite a while .

I, personally, wash my pitcher by hand. However, I did go on their site and all of the glass iced tea glass pitchers indicated dishwasher safe. For the price and design, it is worth the purchase; and they include a package of tea. The tea is so delicious -- I had a 1oz Maharaja Chai/Samurai Chai Tea Blend. (I drank it hot!). Loved it.

It says in the manual it is only for cold water. I would not use it for hot it might cause swelling of the the filter...I use to have the same problem the best thing to do is run your dishwasher with 1/2 a gallon or more of white vinegar when you start noticing hard water build up. I would do it about every month

I never wash my to-go mugs in the dishwasher. I have in the past but it seemed to cause problems with the seal, which caused the mugs to leak if tipped. Also the seal being warped means the liquid inside cools quicker. That might not be a problem if you drink it quickly, but I sometimes get busy and need an hour or so to get back to my coffee. This mug keeps things warm that long if the seal is in good shape. I guess you could wash them in the dishwasher, but it will affect the life of the mug.

I use mine solely for iced tea, but I have not had any issue with a funny taste. I did wash them with soapy water prior to using them. I have since washed them in the dishwasher with no issue. The only downfall of these cups are that they are too big for my cup holder in my car. :)

I have only used this for cold tea. I use this at work, however if it is advertised to hold hot tea I feel sure you could because the cold tea stays cold all day.

It's dishwasher safe, but doesn't get totally clean. The underneath of the inside still has coffee residue. Wipe the inside with a white paper napkin and see if it's clean. I wash mine by hand while the water boils. French press. Maybe I need a new dishwasher. This cup is very cool. I have gotten free coffee because of this cup.
