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'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. :)

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

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.

NO!!! I wouldn't even put warm liquid in it. When I made my son a cup of warm tea, the graphics flaked off leaving me with a black mug. Iwouldn't do it again.

No, it's not a coffee cup or mug, it's a thermos. Use a percolator, coffee tastes better.

Tina,Thanks for asking, a bit surprised you'd ask me as my review was a rather strange one to say the least. It says very plainly NOT to use with hot liquids, but also says 'dish washer safe '??? My dish washer gets pretty hot, especially if I use the dryer (which I usually don't) but have had no trouble with that. With that warning, I've never used one for coffee, but with a dozen of them and just 1 of me, I'll try it out. I see in other comments that they have been using them for coffee with no trouble. What the hell, take a chance. FINS UP! Robbie

I use it for coffee, but you could take the "guts" out and heat water if you like.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

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.

Yes. I stays hot for as long as I need it too. I tend to let my coffee get cold and never finish a cup so Ilooked for a cup warmer and took a chance on this one. It works VERY WELL. I hope you find it to your satisfaction as well.

I've never used it for hot beverages, I'm sure it would work just fine. I'd say the only drawback might be that the glass gets a bit warm, but it is insulated by the shatterproof plastic so it should still be comfortable to hold.

Hi Sharon, To be honest I haven't tried it with hot liquids, but have used it simply for cold with or without ice. If you want me to experiment for you, let me know, and I'll test it. I like the size and the loop in the cap, which makes it easy to carry around, so I would definitely recommend those features.

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've never used them with hot liquid. However, when I use them with cold liquid the straws themselves get as cold as my beverage. My guess is one would experience a similar situation with hot liquids. The straw is going to become as hot as the liquid within it.

No, this cup is not designed to hold hot beverages. Starbucks hot (as well as many other popular coffee chains) coffee is often served at temperatures just under boiling (around 200 degrees Fahrenheit). It's a wonderful, sturdy, well-built cup, but it is not meant to withstand those temps. Hope that helps!

I don't think you can use it for hot beverages. I have only used it for cold.
