Can you use a tea bag in there instead of a coffee pod?

Yes, you can, but tea should steep. Don't know how strong tou like it. Coffee is great!

I just tried to brew a cup of tea with a regular cup and one tea bag. I placed the tea bag where the coffe pod would normally go. It worked better than I was expecting. Tea was alittle weaker than if you would let the tea bag sit in the cup but not much. I will do this again. It is quick and you get a good cup of tea.

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

I would think no...the tea bags would probably break open from the heat and force of the water

...Oh, absolutely. And then, if you like it stronger, also put the bag in your cup. (Or--you could just run the hot water through with the bag in the cup to begin with. Very versatile. NO danger of bag breaking.

No. Works well for pods from different sources and tea bags that are single serve.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

Not really. Or at least I've never tried. You use loose grounds. You could probably cram one of those teabag-style pods in, but not the hard plastic critters like k-cups or other varieties.

You could, but the actual teacups themselves are much too small to be practical for anything other than espresso.

You can add tea bags no problem. There is more than enough room for one bag, I usually add two bags because I like my tea strong and don't have too much of a problem getting them to fit.

Yes, they have a large selection of tea k-cups. I don't think its possible to just use the hot water and your own tea bag, though.

If you can take the coffee out of the k cup you can use it in the pod. Any coffee can work in the pod.

Put it like this, the tea bag is already an infuser, so if you put a tea bag in this, it's like filtering something through twice. You could lose some flavor. How about you just open the tea bag and pour the contents into this infuser?

Yes you can use any teabag or loose leaf tea that you like in the pot. I have not used the glass pot on the stove. I just pour the boiling water over the tea into the pot and steep as usual.

If you wanted to use tea bags, why did you buy the tea pot in the first place? You can just use any cup for that.

No you cannot "put any pod". You can remove the old pod--and have hot water for your "tea leaves" that have been placed in the "tea ball" which you brew in your cup. No other "pod" will fit into the brewing machine.

Absolutely! The infuser is a screen mesh material, so you could either put your tea bag below it and just ignore it completely while you drink your tea (usually what I do) or you could lay the tea bag on top of the infuser and fill with hot water. If you do this you would need to remove the tea bag before drinking as it would be next to your mouth, but either way it works fine. Sometimes I just throw a tea bag in with the sip-thru lid instead of the infuser as the drinking hole is small enough the tea bag won't come through.

I haven't used for coffee but with tea after I fill the bag I turn the flap like part down and twist it tightly. For extra security, you could secure with a twistie.

Yes you can, but it's a little tricky. There's a hole on the top where you pour in the hot coffee. That's where you put the straw/spicket in. It's roughly 1.5" to 2" wide. You'll have to find a tea ball for the loose tea in that's small enough to fit in it. Usually those tea balls are made of metal and it comes with chains. I suggest cutting the chains and using a string instead. Otherwise, the lid won't close. I hope it helps.

Yes it can. You can either put loose tea in a filter in the coffee holder or you can put the tea bags in the coffee holder that goes on the top and sits above the water line.
