Can boiling water be safely poured into these mugs to make instant coffee?

I have never tried this as we use them for cold drinks...guess there's only one way to find out!

I have poured boiling water in for coffee, no problem. Washed up to as clear a finish as I began with! Hope this helps

I own these and I wouldn't pour boiling water in them. I have had hot liquids in them before, but not at boiling temperature.

Absolutely! In addition, Ivuse this mug for coffee straight from the coffee maker. I also put it in the microwave for 45 seconds to reheat the coffee; the mug remains cool to the touch.

Yes! These mugs are great and now the rest of the family are using them for everything! I only meant to get one and I'm glad there are 6. We have an insta-hot faucet which is just under boiling the family uses for hot chocolate. I use boiling water from the teapot for my tea. My husband has been using these mugs for boiling soup. He claims the soup stays hotter. We're all happy with them! Glad to recommend.

True! I have to heat the coffee after it poured! I use the hot water steamer to make instant coffee, which is very hot!

No, it is not recommended. The JAVA & Co. espresso powder is so finely ground that it could cause the water in the espresso maker to overflow and be unable to penetrate the grounds. In addition, it is not an instant espresso and therefore will not dissolve in hot water for a cup on demand, i.e., one cup of instant espresso coffee. ~ Thank you ~

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

Yes you can, but sometimes they don't seal very well and the coffee leaks from the side, causing some stain on the stove

Absolutely. Just use less water and less ground coffee. Their "cup" is 6 ounces and for 2 cups they suggest 1.5 tablespoons of ground coffee. So 8 ounces of water and one tablespoon of ground coffee is just about right for a "real" size cup. You can also just put water through it without the ground coffee and pour the hot water into a cup with instant coffee. Don't put any instant coffee anywhere in the machine. - charles

Yes the coffee press will with stand boiling water. However, it's generally better to add the water just after it stops boiling, wait about a minute before adding it, water should not be actively boiling when you pour it in one of these so as not to burn or even destroy the beneficial constituents.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

I am not sure about boiling water. They do hold up in Temps of 170 for several hours.

Well, technically you could do that. However, it would not taste as delicious as pouring freshly boiled water on freshly ground beans. You would have to give it a stir to ensure it all mixed in and it would just not be the same. However, in a pinch, it would totally work. Please don't tell any coffee lovers you did it though. ;) Just be sure the water temp isn't super high.

These are for machines that use the ESE pods. They are designed to be used under pressure with boiling water in an espresso machine, not in a drip coffee with hot water. I don't think they'll fit and I don't think the water will flow through as designed without the pressure.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

Yes. It won't be as robust or bitey as when using hot water, and you may want to try the "upside down" method to let the grounds steep for a while. Check Youtube videos to clarify.

Yes, I believe they can.....the glass is very thick and I have made tea with boiling water straight from the kettle in them.

I would think so. They are quite large though. I bought them to use for candles. We have poured hot wax into them and have had no problems. It seems to me that coffee would not be any hotter than candle wax. They are nice mugs.....but 16 ounces larger than most coffee cups. Hope this helped.

My answer would be no. I tried two sets of two and the results was the same, all four ended up with chipped areas around the mouth of the mugs. They are beautiful but only for water, juice and any drink that does not require microwaving.
