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.

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 wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

I just checked, the bottom of the pot says dishwasher and microwave safe. I have never made tea in a microwave, so I can't comment on that. Also, I hand wash all my tea cups and teapots because I find tea stains get set in the dishwasher. I use a denture tablet to remove tough teapot stains.

I would not drink a hot beverage directly from the stainless version. There is a silicone version (http://amzn.com/B00FP6JFNM) that is a much better solution for hot drinks.

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.

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

I have only used this for cold tea. I use this at work, however if it is advertised to hold hot tea I feel sure you could because the cold tea stays cold all day.

I haven't washed it in the dishwasher, but I'm pretty sure it is dishwasher safe. It's an easy to clean cup so I always handwash it. As for the microwave, no I wouldn't put it in the microwave. I re-heated coffee in this cup in the microwave, and the cup was EXTREMELY hot. Hot enough to burn and sting my fingers. Dishwasher = probably okay. Microwave = NO.

I've used the tumbler for over a year daily with boiling water and for iced drinks without a problem.Additionally, I always put it in the dishwasher daily. No problem yet.

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 wish I could help with an answer, but I have only used hot water...If the ice is in your cup and you are just pressing cool or cold water through, I do not see why it wouldn't work...coffee may be a little weak...

I would say 'yes'. We don't drink hot tea, but the glasses constantly go through hot/steamy dishwasher cycles. And, we've had hot chocolate in them.

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!

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 never wash my to-go mugs in the dishwasher. I have in the past but it seemed to cause problems with the seal, which caused the mugs to leak if tipped. Also the seal being warped means the liquid inside cools quicker. That might not be a problem if you drink it quickly, but I sometimes get busy and need an hour or so to get back to my coffee. This mug keeps things warm that long if the seal is in good shape. I guess you could wash them in the dishwasher, but it will affect the life of the mug.

I only use mine for water, I think it would be fine for cold drinks of any kind, I don't think I would put any hot drinks in it.
