Can this tea maker boil hot water like an electric kettle? (Without brewing tea)

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

NO. I have had mine for almost a year now and I absolutely LOVE this thing. I drink A LOT of tea and it is perfect to fey your water boiling in no time.

I have not tried it but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. I just boil water in a tea kettle and pour it over! Very easy and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

No. I use an electric kettle to boil the water and then pour it in the pitcher to brew.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

I make my tea with boiling water. I love this Tea Maker. It is for loose leaf teas.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

I never heat water in my teapot, but you could keep it warm on your wood stove. I don't know if it would harm your teapot to heat it on the stove.

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

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.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

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.

I'm not sure, I've never really tried that. I just boil my water in a tea pot. I will tell you that I have purchased this for three people, as well as myself. That's how much I like it.

This is my sincere answer to your question. We use the hot water from this electric kettle to prepare individual tea, coffee and for other hot drinks. I can assure you will not be disappointed with this electric kettle . It is very fast to boil the water compared to our whirpool electric cooking rang. Since you asked me how many tea bags do I put in it? Don't you think it will eventually stains the kettle inner surface with tea/coffee stains ?

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.
