I want to use them to drink hot coffee or teas to avoid staining my teeth. Will they work with hot beverages?

They are nice straws but they are quite big around so I think you would have to be very careful not to draw up to much liquid so you don't burn your mouth. They work great for smoothies and those type of beverages. Hope this helps...

Not sure. I assume they will work with hot beverages since mine go into the dishwasher to be cleaned.

I have not tried them with hot beverages, but they are pretty thick so it's worth giving it a try. Have you tried contacting the company?

yes, you can use it for tea or hot chocolate but the weakest part of the system is the filter and the device that hold the filter into the coffee maker. I now use a solution of baking soda and distilled water to soak both parts after use.

I still haven't used mine....but dout it if heat is what forms them to your teeth. Hot food beverages might melt them again.

I have never tried this, but I do wash them in hot water and they are fine. I would say it would be safe as long as you run them under hot water first and be sure to get the inside and outside equally hot. I love them for cold drinks, because they don't sweat, and they keep the drink cold for a long time. I guess they must keep hot drinks warm for quite some time, too.

I drink a lot of tea also and it stains teeth as badly as coffee. I use the optic stuff in the morning at least 30 min before eating drinking, mainly focus on using it at night before I go to bed so it lasts longer.

You may absolutely sip your coffee through these straws. They are rather short, so they should work perfectly for you. My husband and I use them at restaurants every time we get coffee. Enjoy!

I would not use these with a hot beverage. They get super cold (colder than the beverage) with cold beverages. Using them with hot beverages could result in burned lips.

Yes - that's my understanding. These are too small and will not fit reach the edges, meaning you will end up with coffee-flavored hot water.

Whether heat would damage them or not, I don't know. However, they would not turn hot tea cold; we have found that they keep cold things cold but do not work well at chilling a beverage.

IMO these would not melt but they would not turn hot tea into iced tea. They keep already cold beverages cold i.e. sodas or tea that has been in the fridge but in my experience they will not turn room temperature beverages (tap water, etc.) ice cold.

I used them for cold beverages. But where they are glass I would think hot drinks would work in them as well.

These cups are very good for tea. We use them for both hot and cold drinks.

My answer would be no. I tried two sets of two and the results was the same, all four ended up with chipped areas around the mouth of the mugs. They are beautiful but only for water, juice and any drink that does not require microwaving.

I haven't tried it with these glasses - but I have used my other double walled glasses for hot drinks. It should work.

I have used them in hot drinks, without any problems, but not on a long-terms basis. From the few times that I used them in hot beverages, I saw no evidence of damage to the cubes.

Yes, they can get hot depending on how hot you are heating something up. The mugs have the benefit of the handle which stays cooler.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.
