I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

I wouldn't. In my opinion, this is just for cold liquids. It closes well but the top is just plastic. I would just invest in a double-walled container made for hot liquids.

Not sure this would work for coffee. I have personally never tried it but since it is plastic and double insulated, hot liquids may cause the plastic to expand and possibly crack eliminating the double insulating feature. I'm no expert and haven't tried it, but personally I wouldn't chance it unless you don't mind possibly having to replace it.

I don't think so.First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury.Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

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!

Hi Shawn! I used these for a party, but I didn't put a hot liquid in them. If you are wanting to put something really hot in them, then I don't think this item would work. Warm, perhaps but nothing extremely hot. I hope this helps.

That's what we use it for. After writing the review, I called customer service and requested an exchange, hoping that this one was defective. I post a new review when I receive and try the new one. As it is, you can make tea. If you add a lot of cold creamer to your coffee, you may find that it is not hot enough.

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.

I've been drinking coffee out of it--hot, hot, hot! I put it in the mic to heat it up, and it is fine. It is ceramic, so treat it like any ceramic mug, and it will be fine. :)

I guess I haven't tried with any hot liquids yet, but it seems like it would be ok. It's made of a fairly sturdy plastic.

I have used mine for Hot chocolate and it kept it hot for longer than a regular cup. Try putting HOT tap water in it for about 2 minutes before you put the Coffee in and it should do the same.

It is not good for liquids. It is good for everything else. I have two of these and liquids are not the best., You would have to use a thermose.

I think it would be okay with extra hot water. The oils from the coffee might leave some residue.

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

I bought mine to use as a steaming cup for my espresso machine. I would be concerned though about burns if using them to drink from.

Can be used as coffee mug. Not for science experiment heat. Came with no packaging nor sure who made it
