you are honestly better off buying a hot water kettle. it only heats up the water to Luke warm temperatures and doesn't provide much water for a cup.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can put the tea bags in the coffee filter and the water comes out really hot, so our be able to use it to make hot chocolate.

Of course! Just like any coffee maker, you don't need to put coffee in the basket, then hot water will just drop into the carafe where you can put your tea bags.

It is not for espresso or cappuccino. You could certainly heat water to make hot chocolate. This machine is strictly for making coffee only.

Yes you can use the K-cup teas and hot chocolate or get the additional cup to make your own

Yes. We have used it for hot chocolate and apple cider. These glasses are thicker than the glass mugs I use for coffee. Very substantial.

I only used it to mix a powdered drink with warm water. I never used it for hot coffee. Be careful to hold down the top when blending as it does not stay on. Good luck.

Ours is used for both coffee and tea. I am almost a purist when coffee is involved and I notice the slightest differences when I drink coffee. I have not noticed any difference when my daughters made tea and I followed it up with coffee.Paul

I would think that you could brew the tea right in the kettle. I only heat water in the kettle because our family uses it for black tea, green tea and hot chocolate. That way everyone can choose to drink whatever they like. I also haven't put anything into the kettle for fear that it would take on the taste of what is put into it. I haven't tried it so I don't know if this is true or not.

We don't drink too much tea but the coffee grounds we use in this coffe maker are pretty fine and we don't use a filter and the coffee turns out great! So I think it should work for hot tea as well. Hope this helps .

It can be used to heat water for instant coffee, cocoa or tea. The instant products are not used in the coffee maker. Thanks for lookingSteve

Yes. I use the Ekobrew Stainless Steel Reusable Cup to brew loose tea, homemade cocoa and my own ground coffee blends. Add your blend, brew, rinse and repeat for the next cup.

Yes I use it for tea or coffee. It works really well and keeps liquids hot or cold for about 3 hours.

You can use the steamer to make any kind of drinks. Just but the pwoder with the milk and steam it and it will be the same as in any coffee shop.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.

I have not tried this. It may be possible but you won't get the results you expect. When the carafe is used, the top lid of it presses against a lever on the bottom of the filter holder. This allows coffee to drip into the carafe as soon as it works its way through the ground coffee (this also allows you to remove the carafe to get coffee before the brew cycle completes). When using single cup mode, the coffee maker expects that a mug will be placed under the filter that won't press against this lever. The coffee maker can then control how long the water is in contact with the grounds and open the lever after a programmed 'steeping' time. You control the steeping time in single cup mode by choosing the 'Flavor' setting. Stronger flavor = longer steeping time. Others have stated that the hot plate comes on for 2 hours regardless of the brewing mode you choose.

Yes it can be used for real tea. My daughters use it for hot chocolate mostly.

No. But the Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Hot Water System, Black/Stainless is and it also has three settings for how hot you want the carafe to stay, a 4-6 cup super hot brew for little brews (under twelve so you get he most out of the grind). Plus you get a second hot water dispenser that just dispenses hot water for tea or cocoa. I love the CHW-12 more than I loved the Dcc-1100. If it lasts as long I will be a happy camper with hot coffee, tea or cocoa and a nite light.
