I know this is an odd question.I had to quit coffee and tea.I have been adding this to hot water.Does the hot water degrade the ingredients at all?

Good question. Because I've never thought about mixing in hot water I honestly don't know if that can happen. I usually check "reputable/credible" websites such as Mayoclinic.org and webmd.com for information that's medical or health related--don't know if those sites would help you with this concern. Hope this helps.

Putting it into hot water is the easiest way. It is entirely safe to drink if it is not dissolved.

I think that is because this is used at times in places where water purity maybe in question and if you mix up more than you can drink at a time. Even treated tap water has bacteria in it. It blends well both in hot or cold liquid. I use it in hot coffee and have made up a glass in cold water to drink both mixed quickly and thoroughly.

I would say -- try it --- if it does change the flavor of your coffee wash it real well with hot soapy water and find something else to use Or buy a new BonJour for your tea

The only reason I switched was because my tea started tasting like coffee (I was brewing both in the same coffee pot). Now my tea tastes delicious since it's only used for tea! :) Hope that helps?

I have not had any problems with the tea. I looked into it and it would be minerals in the water. We use a filter under the sink for all water which we drink. Of course my water may be different your water. Maybe you could buy a gallon of distilled water to see if that fixes the tea problem. If so you might wish to try a reverse osmosis filter. My filter is a cheaper type.

Not at all. We got this in Dec. and love it! The hot water/tea part can also be used for anything else you just need hot water for like a bowl of instant oatmeal but the hot water is HOT! All together a great coffee/tea maker with no bad taste. Hope that helps.

I have never done it. I did have a friend who used it in his Keurig and had some success. He ran it through the water tank and just made cups of hot water till it was gone then ran clean water through. It seemed to help he reported

You can dispense hot water from it if you simply don't place coffee in the filter. However, if you want hot water for tea, I don't know if the water comes out at a temperature fit for tea, though it does come out hot, I don't believe it's boiling. Furthermore, the water that comes from it may have a slight tinge of coffee to it as not all coffee/espresso is removed from it upon a rinse.

No. You can try, but you will mostly get hot water without the coffee flavor.

I drink hot tea in mine. I place a tea bag and pour boiling water in it. I have had no problems.As a chemist I am used to working with pyrex beakers and see no difference in the quality of the beaker mug and beakers in the lab.

I add it to my herbal tea. Just put it in the cup and then add tea. This helps it ti dissolve better.

No, however the construction is such that it cools very slowly. With tea, I prefer to refresh the water anyway, unlike coffee, which can be held at temp for awhile without impacting the taste.

I've used this model for tea as well as coffee, and I have not noticed any lingering flavours. When using it for coffee, I wash it with very hot water only, but before making tea I will use a detergent to get the oils completely out. I also disassemble the screens between each use to ensure the grounds are completely removed. Some teas will embed themselves into the screen more than coffee grounds will, so you'll need to rub the screen to remove them all after use.

I've put warm water inside, but not hot. Not sure about the toxic part though. Hope this helps!

The preponderance of evidence suggests that one should never drink or use hot tap water for cooking. Anyone who has ever drained a hot water heater will probably wholeheartedly agree as well.
