Is it safe to pour boiling water straight from the kettle into the thermos or should you wait a bit before you pour it in?

it can be safe to pour boiling water straight from the kettle into the thermos

Are you asking material-wise is it safe? If so I don't know, but otherwise, I pour boiled water straight from the kettle and it's okay.

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

The plastic lining is made for hot water. I put in boiling water a number of times with no plastic taste, while some coffee makers have plastic taste. I also put in boiling water first to warm up thermos, then empty it, then put in drink, soup, etc. so that it stays hot for 2 days if not opened or only opened few times.

This has happened to me, I completely shattered the top because it was too hot and I let go of it while pouring. You must hold the lid and the handle. I have to use a towel etc to grab the handle sometimes. I like this tea kettle regardless though.

I don't use my kettle to brew tea in, I use it to boil the water and pour onto the teabag in my cup, or tea bags in my teapot. Pretty much the same way one would use a stovetop kettle. Hope this is helpful.

Boiling water is hot so yes the kettle is hot to touch after you've boiled the kettle. That's why there's a handle.

As long as you can control the flame and take care not to allow the flame to climb the side of the kettle it should be ok. I prefer to boil my water in a separate tea pot with a whistle or an electric kettle with an automatic off control in case I get distracted, using the Kalita Kettle only as a pouring kettle... Much safer!!!

Yes. I just open the lid and manually pour water in. It automatically begins boiling after you pour water in and close the lid.

You can pour in water right off the boil. Just don't put it on a stove burner. :)

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

Only heat water. Inside it has a metal base on the bottom of the kettle, and that is what heats up the water. I would imagine anything loose would damage the metal base and potentially ruin the kettle.

Personally, I don't pour boiling water into this jug after removing it from the refrigerator. But I do allow it to reach room temperature, and then I put some hot water from the faucet into it. I swish the water around and then pour it out to heat the glass some. Then, boiling water has been no problem. Suddenly going from 35 degrees to 212 degrees is asking a little much. Generally, glass breaks when shocked. So I'm a little gentle, and I've had no problems.

I heat my water in my stove top tea kettle. Before it boils I pour about 3/4 c into the Dutch kettle put it under the tea cozy until the water on the stove is boiling. By then then the Dutch kettle it hot and I can pour the water from the stove kettle in. I always feel the Dutch kettle first and it is always very hot. I Hope you love your Dutch kettle as much as I love mine!

We also used the kettle mainly for heating up water and then pour it over the tea or coffee. Never had any problem with it.

I always boil water in my coffee cup and pour it in the provided cup. I never use the plunger to boil water. It's perfectly safe.

Using either a tea kettle or a pot with lid on the stovetop, I've found that at the moment you can first hear the water/steam starting to make a sound inside the kettle or pot (kind of a whooshing), it should be about 180 degrees, give or take a few degrees. I've reproduced this result hundreds of times, confirmed each time with a thermometer. The key is to really listen for that first sound and immediately take it off the heat.Oh--I am a few hundred feet above sea level, in case that makes a difference!

I have had no issues with the tea pot. Pour boiling water from the kettle into the pot and put on the lid. Great teapot!

I'd strongly recommend you not put anything but clean, fresh, cold water into this appliance. It's a kettle, intended for heating or boiling water; not a tea pot, in which you brew tea.

I have poured boiling water into the dish, but warm it with hot water first. I am a "safe rather than sorry" type and don't want to make the mistake of having it crack or break because of a sudden and extreme change in temperature.
