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.

Unfortunately, it's not dishwasher safe. At the bottom of the mug, there is a dishwasher safe sign with a X through it. I hand wash mine.

I heat water for tea every day in the microwave. You have to be aware that if you put cold water on a very hot glass cup, or hot into a very cold cup, that it might break, but I haven't had any break yet from that. It's only been my clumsiness by dropping them that has broken them.

I have not tried it cold. so i am not sure about that. but as a hot tea it is great!

This was a gift. She said: The mug lid works fine, I think. It does not keep things as hot as in an insulted mug but I am happy with it. I am drinking out of it right now! The basket goes into the dishwasher so I don't have a problem there - but remember, I am not using it for loose tea - just tea bags. There usually is a bit of residue from a tea bag but it rinses out easily. Hope that helps.

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.

Since it's dishwasher safe, one could put warm (but maybe not boiling hot) beverages in it, but I'd worry about stuff leaching from the plastic until the bottle had gone through a few dishwasher cycles.

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

I use mine solely for iced tea, but I have not had any issue with a funny taste. I did wash them with soapy water prior to using them. I have since washed them in the dishwasher with no issue. The only downfall of these cups are that they are too big for my cup holder in my car. :)

It's not for hot beverages, only cold. It either says that on the insert flyer or on the bottle.

The purpose of the inside cup is for insulation to keep liquids cold without sweating on the outside. I have not used my cup for hot beverages as I prefer not to sip hot beverages through a straw. But it just might work for hot as well as cold. Hope you enjoy it.

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

I don't know whether the type of plastic of which the cup is made would be safe for hot drinks. I can say that, if you could get the cup to work at all with the top on, then using it for hot drinks would not be a good idea and would probably be a bit dangerous. I do not recommend this cup at all even for cold drinks - I especially wouldn't recommend it for hot.

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!

According to the instructions stamped on the bottom of the mug, Hand Wash Only. The mug is so very easy to hand wash, however, that it really should not be an issue. I've used the mug for a wide variety of liquids {including hot soup!} and never had any issue washing it well after use. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, and haven't found the need to even want to do so.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

Yes. I am on my 2nd thermos in 12 years (lol). I actually throw it in the dishwasher and get great results. My coffee stays warm for hours-
