Is the teapot's glass safe for hot water?

I got this for my sister and she says she adds hot water to it. It says its dishwasher safe so I assume it will handle hot temps.

We heat our water with an electric kettle and immediately pour it into the teapot. The glass is fine and the outside of it heats up about as much as you'd expect. No cracks so far after a few weeks of daily use.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

Yeah totally bro even boiling water, you can put the hot water in but you can't put the glass on the stove top

I'm not sure about that.... I had not noticed that when I bought it for a gift. She loved it, though, and it was large just as she had wanted. I wouldn't advise making hot tea or other hot beverages in it, though. It is not tempered glass.

if the water you put through is drinkable then there is no reason the hot water to be unsafe

Absolutely not. The exterior stays cool even with boiling water. Hot drinks stay that way for longer than with a ceramic mug though, so be aware of that.

I drink hot tea in mine. I place a tea bag and pour boiling water in it. I have had no problems.As a chemist I am used to working with pyrex beakers and see no difference in the quality of the beaker mug and beakers in the lab.

No, it is made of pottery and would break if put on an open flame. Heat the water in a metal kettle or saucepan and pour over tea leaves in the pot.

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.

I would not,,the glass is very thin. I would use a tea kettle and pour the hot water from it. Or some times I use my kurig for hot water.

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

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.

I have not used this pot directly on the stove. I don't recall whether the manufacturer said this was acceptable or not, but it just doesn't sound safe to me! I use my Hario "beehive" to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot. If you don't have one of those, then just use a regular saucepan to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot.

The official answer is no, because thats what the manufacturer say in the included card. If you know how to control the temperature well though to avoid any sudden changes in temperature in the glass, you can probably get away with it. I would use the tealite warmers over putting it on the stove though. This works very well with the temperature controlled water boilers to brew the perfect tea when dealing with the more delecate ones (green and white teas especially). The difference in taste is night and day when using the proper temperature water and correct brew time for the specific tea.

No. I bought it to give as a gift. I do not think it is made of Pyrex type glass therefore it will probably break with hot (boiling) water. I wouldn't try it.

Vat 19 states that it is not tempered glass, so the manufacturer does not recommend pouring boiling water in it. The metal utensil "trick" that One2ndTooLate writes about has always worked for me, too. Also, I wait about 30 seconds after I take the water off the heat before I pour it in. Supposedly, boiling water is too hot for tea and coffee and brings out the bitter oils. So, it's safer for my glassware and my tea is tastier! Enjoy your Kufra! I have three!

No! It would ruin the lining of it. I love my little teapot. I works great!!!

Probably, but all that's really necessary to clean it is to swish some warm water from the tap around in it before brewing your tea; this will also help prevent thermal shock from breaking it when you pour water from the kettle in, which isn't much of an issue because it is made of borosilicate glass.

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.
