Can you use it for hot beverages? I'm looking for a container to transport and dispense hot chocolate.

Sorry, but I have not tried it with hot beverages because I bought it only for cold liquids.

Hi, sorry for the delay. I am not 100% sure, I have not tried it. I have only used mine during the summer to hold ice water, it stays cold for a really long time.

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.

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170F

Yes, it would hold the containers, but I've never left anything in there that long so I can't say if it would keep it hot.

Yes, it works very well. I regularly drink hot chocolate in it and it keeps it warm for a long time.

I haven't tried, because it isn't intended for hot liquids. I have a Nissan Thermos that works well for hot liquids. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000K604P0?cache=3f07a5255f904c4a9f65f6d8e89e42c2π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1410725795&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I've never used hot chocolate in it. It slightly keeps the coffee or tea smell....so I wonder if there is something to do with that. However, I will say it is AMAZING at keeping things hot/warm. Good luck.

I got this for my husband so I don't really know. He has never put a hot liquid in it, but I don't see any reason why you can't. I have a similar one and I would certainly use it for hot liquids if the need arose. So far I have only kept water in it, and I love having it when I drive because you can sip and still see where you're going. if I am wrong about the hot liquids, please let me know.

I have the same question - am wondering if you can put hot beverages in it without the glass breaking?

Yes!! You can definitely use it for coffee or hot chocolate without the strainer. The lid creats a beautiful seal keeping in whatever liquids you pour into it. I have a habit of just tossing it in my purse or backpack and there have been no leaks despite it bumping into and rolling around with whatevers in my bag.

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.

No. If you got to life factory website it states it is not meant for hot beverages

no. it's cheap and it leaks with even cold beverages. plastic wouldn't hold up to hot.

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

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.

Even though I have not specifically used it for that purpose, I surmise it would be appropriate for holding beverages. I say this because I use it for transporting perishables like ice cream and other frozen items from the grocery and it does a good job keeping them frozen. Hope this helps!!

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.
