Has anyone tried drinking hot tea/coffee with this? Its dishwasher safe, although the label indicates "for cold beverages only."

I wouldn't recommend using this with very hot water. It's standard glass and likely less durable than a normal canning jar. If you DO try this, warm the bottle up slowly using your tap water first to bring it up to a warm temperature. Make sure there are no cold spots before adding hot water as it's the difference between cold and hot that causes glass to break.

I have made tea directly in it -- I pour very hot (not quite boiling) water in and add the teabag. I've never had a problem.... but perhaps I'm just lucky. I typically don't put the cover back on until it's cooled a bit.

It works best with cold beverages, but I have a smaller bubba mug that I use for hot coffee and it keeps it hot. I think its a 24oz. . Enjoy your mug.

I have never used this mug on cold drinks, only for coffee. I assume it would do a good job keeping cold as it does a great job keeping coffee hot, best mug I ever had.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

No. I really like my cup. I've had no problems with it & put it in the dishwasher sleeve & all.

It slows me to pour hot tea into it as I brew and then cool for iced tea. I still warm it a little in the sink prior to slowly pouring the tea into it as to not shock the glass. I have made 20 ir so batches so far and then I cool and keep it in the fridge. Love it. I would say if you are trying to keep beverages hot this is not a solution though.

Yes, It is only for cold beverages. You can't put anything hot in it or put it in the microwave.

I don't think you can use it for hot beverages. I have only used it for cold.

It would ruin the tea or coffee, Pretty strong stuff! I keep mine in the frig. & just take it cold. much better!

I wouldn't recommend it be washed in a dishwasher. Apparently the glue used to seal the base is weakened by remaining in water for any length of time. I love this mug. The coffee will stay hot for 2 hours, but it must be washed by hand and quickly. My first one was washed by hand after being in the sick soaking for 15-20 minutes. Within a week I was at a convenience store getting a refill and the base started to leak. I bought another one and now wash it quickly. It has lasted two years using that method.

Only the lid is dishwasher safe, the body must be hand-washed. Great for keeping water cold -- cannot use for hot liquids.

It has a rotating spout that you could drink from. I wouldn't advise it for hot drinks as it keeps them at such a high temp. No problem with cold.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

The cup would hold hot beverages just fine, but copper is a great conductor of both cold and heat. I just put some HOT water in a mug and within 30 seconds the cup as well as the handle became too hot to hold. If you were to wear an oven mitt while drinking your hot tea or coffee you should be just fine, but for bare handed use I would not advise it!

I have only used it for cold. It works great and i use it everyday! Since it has a straw i haven't considered putting anything hot in it.

I would not immerse it, and I would absolutely not wash it in the dishwasher. I take a wet dishcloth (with dish soap on it) wash it, rinse, and make sure you do not get the outside wet on the side of the dial. Any of the cups that heat up can not be immersed. This is not a very good cup. Hard to drink out of, there is no temperature control on it. It just keeps heating up until you can't drink it. There are other cups out there that you can set the temperature you want and it will hold it at that temp. Out of 1 to 10, I give this cup a 2.

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.
