To boil water, do you need to put a cup in there?

No. Good luck getting water to boil though. Very little heat in my Infiniti.

No. It's a porcelain pot. You need to boil water in a whistling tea kettle.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

Yes you can just put water in the top and run it through. I have put the tea bag in where you put the coffee and then let the waterrun through it and you have a nice cup of hot tea and it gets pretty hot. I love this coffee maker.

No, and it takes forever to boil the water. You can boil it faster on the stove.

Hello honeysucklemoon. No. A cup and hot water is all that's required to brew these teas. The unique tea bag is what is so nice about this brand. I am sure you will enjoy all the flavors Tea Forte has to offer.

No, you would need to boil the water in the kettle and then pour it over the tea in another vessel.

i would not us it on the stove top. It is not meant to boil the water for the tea in. My stove is the glass top type of electric stoves and it has a hold warm stop in the center and I do put the tea pot there , once the tea is made to keep it warm.Hope this helps.

Rick Parker said it well (previous comment) You can only boil water in this hot pot, then add to cup or bowl for beverages or soup. Do not put any other ingredients into the water chamber. Hope that helps!

This item is strictly to boil water. When the water boils, it starts to whistle. Brewing of tea is done in a teapot, not a teakettle.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

No, just ocassionally fill the top right water container area with water, then press button to heat. A red button will flash indicating to fill up with water. The left side is a standard coffee maker. This device is great if you need hot water dispensed immediately; i just love mine! Great investment!

Well, I don't know about literally boiling, but I pour the water into the French press just off the boil. It then should steep for about 4 minutes before pouring into your cup. Believe me, it's still VERY hot at that point unless you like it hot enough to burn your mouth.

Yes you can by keep holding the shot botton.. or click program then click one of the botton and stop it after you get enough water... it is going to be hot enough for small cup of amricano but it is better to use katle to heat your water for boiling
