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's not recommended according to the paper work i got with the cup. But i have washed it in the dishwasher on top rack with no apparent damage, i don't do it on a regular basis though. I truly love the cup as it does keep my coffee hot for a long time. Would buy another one.

I'm guessing it is not dishwasher safe.I lost the instructions for this one, but i do have another similar zojirush stainless steel mug and it is not dishwasher safe. And this one you're inquiring about has a lot more parts and gaskets than the other.

I have never put warm beverages in mine personally but I am sure you could! Its pretty durable. I think warmer rather than scolding hot! The cup probably wouldn't keep the beverage warm for very long but would be able to take the heat for a short period.

I, personally, wash my pitcher by hand. However, I did go on their site and all of the glass iced tea glass pitchers indicated dishwasher safe. For the price and design, it is worth the purchase; and they include a package of tea. The tea is so delicious -- I had a 1oz Maharaja Chai/Samurai Chai Tea Blend. (I drank it hot!). Loved it.

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

Yes, that's the first thing I did when I got mine. I made a pot of tea. Since then I have made tea with both loose tea and tea bags. Turns out fine either way. Seems to work well for either tea or coffee. It's not scalding hot, but hot enough.

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 have not tried tea, only cold beverages. I LOVE these glasses though, they were a big hit at my wedding a month ago!

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

I use very hot water just short of boiling. Never tried with cold water but I guess you could waste a teabag and try it out, right? Lipton does make a large tea bag just for cold water and it works very well.

I am pretty sure that the cup is made of a silicone based material, and I have never known it to smell funny. That being said, I have never used it for coffee or other hot, strong smelling liquids. It has never added taste to a cold liquid, but I am not sure about hot liquids. It says it can withstand temperatures of 180 degrees, so you should be fine with coffee, but I have no definite answer. Hope I could help, and sorry I couldn't give you a clear answer!

Iv been drinking hot tea out of it so I hope so lol its also dishwasher safe :-) it's a good sized mug the only thing I don't like about it is the square shape kinda gets on my nerves sometimes. If the person you're buying it for is a doctor who fan they will love it. :-)

It says in the manual it is only for cold water. I would not use it for hot it might cause swelling of the the filter...I use to have the same problem the best thing to do is run your dishwasher with 1/2 a gallon or more of white vinegar when you start noticing hard water build up. I would do it about every month

I only use this for cold brew tea and coffee. For anything hot, I would be more comfortable using glass or ceramic container/carafe, unless the manufacturer would attest to its safety up to certain temperature.

I have never tried this as we use them for cold drinks...guess there's only one way to find out!
