Can you use it for hot tea/coffee?

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

They do not recommend it for hot drinks so I have not tried it and wouldn't suggest it.

I wouldn't use it for anything. less than a month later, leaks like crazy and cant get the lid to flip open to drink from it. you'd be better off selecting something else.

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

Yes I use it a lot for my hot tea and if u are using it for a longer brewing time I just set the pot on the hot plate part of it

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.

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

The product is made of a hard plastic, so it probably could hold hot tea and not compromise the material. That being said, it would be very hot to the touch. You would be better off searching for a double-walled glass.

I would guess, yes, I had it to hot coffee. I contacted the company directly about mixing it with a hot liquid and they responded within a day.

Not at all. We got this in Dec. and love it! The hot water/tea part can also be used for anything else you just need hot water for like a bowl of instant oatmeal but the hot water is HOT! All together a great coffee/tea maker with no bad taste. Hope that helps.

If you mean on a stovetop, then the manufacturer says no. It's designed for steeping tea only. But you can get a candle heater to keep the tea hot.

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).

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

I don't know why not.....although I am not a tea expert. This is a percolator and I think that tea is "steeped"....but it just seems that you could put the tea in the coffee grounds container and let the water boil and drain through it....?

No, it is made for hot tea to be drunk from it. Now if you go to extremes boiling hot to super cold or vice-versa most any glass will break.

If you wanted to I guess you can, but I use it for making tea and it works perfectly for that!

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!
