Can you add boiling water to this? We will be boiling water for safety, how soon can I fill my bladder?

I wouldn't put hot boiling water in the bladder as this is made with a silicon type plastic, room temp is best

I wouldn't risk boiling water. Warm water yes. I would also check the Camelbak website.

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

Mine is full of water and on all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

I think you could but remember it is plastic so I don't think you'd want to put boiling water in it.

No, you put boiling water into the pot. It's used for seeping, not boiling.

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

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.

The water gets very hot just like you boiled it on the stove. So yes you would have to let it cool down before drinking. But if you don't want it that hot only fill the cup partway, heat that amount of water, empty to the cup and add cool water for the desired drinking temperature.

The way I interpreted the directions is to insert the strainer, add tea, add water, wait, remove strainer and loose tea, enjoy . This seems dumb so when using loose tea I simply add tea, insert strainer, add water, enjoy. Granted my way makes for stronger tea but I have never been burned removing the metal strainer sitting in near boiling water. To answer the question, yes, you can sip while the strainer is installed.

Dear John, To be on the safe side I WOULD NOT fill the container with hot water. It's rubber and fairly soft, so I only fill it part way to protect yourself and/or others from being burned. Lee

You need to use 1 cup. I sugest you send boiling water down the drain befor you add this product, after you add this product you let it sit for 6hrs ,I let mine sit overnight, then I flushed it with boiling water, like a miricle a drain that resisted all other drain cleaners, started to drain like a new waste line. Luck to you

This is like a small inflatable swimming pool. I wouldn't think boiling water would be too good for it. It is made for ice.

No. Maybe but boil the water separately. Don't put the immediate boiling water so as not to burn the coffee. Wait a few secs.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

Hot yes, I can drink a cup immediately after the brew cycle. If you mean steaming hot. Probably not
