Can the container handle boiling water?

I wouldn't think so. I sent mine back because of the size. I wasn't happy with the top either.

Lukewarm won't be a problem. It is sturdy bpa free enviro plastic. I wouldn't store boiling water in there but I use very hot tap water to clean it on occasion and it's not a problem.

Lid would only be in contact with boiling water if you over filled it, and you can pour without opening the lid.

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.

I asked my son-in-law and he said that, " Yes, but do not let it boil or the cup will melt. Just get it to hot enough to drink." Metal, aluminum, tin, no problem to get to boiling point.

You can add it directly to the bag, but would be better to dump the contents into a better container to add the boiling water in my opinion. The size and shape of the bag would make it difficult to add the boiling water without scalding yourself. The bag would hold it.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.

This thing is made out of polycarbonate, a particularly tough kind of plastic. Boiling water is no problem. Although it has no insulation value so you will have to wear oven mitts or use a pot holder so you don't burn yourself. I particularly like the design of this. Very practical.

It is designed for you to put boiling water in it, but not for you to use to boil water.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

There's probably not enough heat generated ... I think it's sturdy enough. Liquids just take an awful lot of heat to boil!

I don't know about boiling water but you can put hot water directly in the glass

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

I'm not sure because the insert is plastic so I don't know if it will hold up to boiling water.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

Sorry David, I don't know. Haven't tried that but it's stainless steel and if you remove the top, why not? However, this particular bottle is not bottom stable and for that reason I don't like it very much and mine would definitely not be able to stay balanced while boiling the water.
