Can the cup be used for hot drinks?

Yes...it will handle tea, coffee, etc as long as it's not 'boiling'. I think the plastic will take it, it just get more rubbery/flexible. Regular warm drinks are fine. Obviously, you can't heat anything in it. We bought as requirement of Girl-Scouts, but I'd personally prefer to use military surplus or porcelain coated steel which are far more utilitarian (but indeed heavier).

Although the instructions say not to use with hot liquids, judging from the great build material of the bottle, It can definitely be able to hold hot beverages. Just make sure the tea is already brewed prior.

I don't see why not. Just be sure to only add enough water to fill the cup you are using.

I have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

I would say yes but I've never tried that. It is shaped like a bowl so I think drinking from it would be a bad idea. However if you plan to transfer the coffee after it's heated I would think it would be fine.

I wouldn't use it for hot beverages myself, though it would certainly keep them hot. The problem is, it uses a straw, not a "sippy-cup" style spout, so it would be very easy to burn your mouth badly. Also, though the mouthpiece is silicone (and thus would be fine with even the hottest drinks), the straw is (BPA free) plastic, and I'm not sure how well it would hold up to heat.

I wouldn't advise it: the glass itself is strong enough to support any hot beverage without cracking but not insulated / thick enough to keep the drink hot or prevent burning your hands

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

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

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.

It's a hard plastic and I would imagine it could hold hot water, but it would feel hot to the touch. I'm not sure why you'd want to use this for hot water though. You'd be better off with an insulated cup.

I have never put warm beverages in mine personally but I am sure you could! Its pretty durable. I think warmer rather than scolding hot! The cup probably wouldn't keep the beverage warm for very long but would be able to take the heat for a short period.

I suppose you could use it for hot beverages but I use it to keep sport drinks & water cold on bike trips...works great

No, it's not to be used for hot beverages as stated in the product description.

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.

No you cannot , the cup is stainless steal. Metal and microwave are a bad combination
