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.

I was going to ask the same question. Can this be used to make regular hot coffee as well? I don't have alot of counter space.

No. If you got to life factory website it states it is not meant for hot beverages

I'm not sure. It is made of hard inflexible plastic. I guess you could, but I would look into a cuppow for hot drinks.

I haven't tried. But it says on the instruction that it is not for use with hot liquids. It's for cold liquids only and hot liquids may cause burns.

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

I have never used it for hot liquid. I don't think it would hold heat well though. I use it daily for my Spark drink & love it.

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.

I haven't tried, because it isn't intended for hot liquids. I have a Nissan Thermos that works well for hot liquids. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000K604P0?cache=3f07a5255f904c4a9f65f6d8e89e42c2π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1410725795&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Yes it can be used for real tea. My daughters use it for hot chocolate mostly.

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.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

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, but if you have used it to perk coffee you are not going to be able to get that leftover 'coffee' flavor out of it. I have one I used for hot chocolate but I bought it just for that and never used it for coffee so that I don't have that 'ghost' coffee flavor in the hot chocolate and tea.

I tried a hot beverage once but found out the whole cup gets hot making it difficult to hold. Wouldn't recommend it for hot beverages.

I suppose you could use it for hot beverages but I use it to keep sport drinks & water cold on bike trips...works great
