It states that cooking the syrup destroys it's properties - is the same true then for using it in hot coffee?

It becomes ineffective if the temperature is over 248 degrees F (120 C).Sources: http://authoritynutrition.com/does-yacon-syrup-work/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12502412

I can't honestly answer that question as I have never used it in my coffee.

I have used this in my coffee every morning for about 3 months with coconut milk. Makes a wonderful latte. This is normal coffee temperature. Have never heted Yacon to the boiling point, so have no knowledge of what happens to its properties then. I have lost 12 lbs. without trying, using this once a day latte. Have experienced other good results concerning my health.

I would assume so. If heat destroys it in cooking, I would be afraid to use it in the coffee. Not 100% sure, though. To be safe, I don't use mine in hot food.

no. if you're going to keep it for a while, refrigerate it. It may crystalize in the fridge but can be heated to return to it's original state i.e. the best syrup in the world!

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

I think that any hot liquid that comes into contact with plastic would be the cause for the release of some of the polymers to be released into the food material. I am a maple producer in Vt and we no longer sell our syrup in plastic... glass only.

I purchase the monin syrup to add flavor coffee and sodas. It is wonderful, however, I would not add this to food like you would regular vanilla. However, you could add this to any food after it was already cooked. Used it in puddings, meringues, etc. Excellent vanilla syrup -- very flavorful.

This is a 'block' of pure coconut cream, would imagine you could break off a piece and melt in hot coffee, should be delicious! I, of course, love anything coconut but have not tried this in my coffee but do use the coconut oil in my coffee. Hope you enjoy!

It's probably because of the cord. The same warning is on my toaster and it says the cord contains lead and advised to wash your hands after touching. So coffee brewed in it should be fine, just don't lick the cord! The same warning is on Christmas tree light cords, artificial Christmas trees, etc., because they contain lead.

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

No, heating Almased, can destroy certain enzymes, changing the proteins within the product, avoid extreme temperature changes.

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.

I haven't used the pure but the syrup combines completely with another liquid. I have mixed it in with lemonade and it is delicious. Once it is mixed, it doesn't separate at all. I imagine a pure might separate. Then I can use the lemonade llain or as a mixer with rum or vodka. Yum!

The coffee will probably be weaker since the grounds don't react the same with hot and cold water. Unfortunately this will probably break before you get much use out of it though. I got 8-10 uses from 2 of them before the reservoir gasket fell out.

Although I have not used in drinking hot coffee, the manufactured material would handle heat. The metal might heat up a little. I have used with cold coffee and it worked great, no coffee taste residing of course I cleaned first.

I have used this for toasting coconut also for the same reason. If it smokes, a bean is stuck under the stirrer. So do not walk away.Stay in the same room just in case. 99% of the time there will be no problem but why ruin a batch of coffee because of a broken bean.

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

Sometimes I leave it in, and sometimes I take it out. I truly don't notice any difference in the flavor of the coffee. Since the pot is hot after brewing, it is awkward to remove it, but if the pot's been sitting a while, I might remove the cool basket before gently reheating. Hope this helps!!:-)

I have not used mine for anything but coffee. I'd wager, however, that since it is made of glass and metal- (materials that do not tend to retain flavors), you should be okay, especially if you give it a good wash in between.
