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...).

It is hot to my taste and I like hot but not boiling. You have to start drinking it right away thought becausethe cup isn't sitting on a warm base like pots of coffee do.

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 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.

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

I am pretty sure that the cup is made of a silicone based material, and I have never known it to smell funny. That being said, I have never used it for coffee or other hot, strong smelling liquids. It has never added taste to a cold liquid, but I am not sure about hot liquids. It says it can withstand temperatures of 180 degrees, so you should be fine with coffee, but I have no definite answer.Hope I could help, and sorry I couldn't give you a clear answer!

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 tried it, and the very edge of the cup is very thin, then it flares and gets thicker, making it difficult to sip. However, it is the best mug I have ever had for keeping liquids hot. I wouldn't want to drink out of it with out the lid while driving or distracted at all.

...the coffee MAY stay hot...but I wouldn't know since the handle is a heat sink, therefore it's impossible to hold UNTIL the coffee cools down. I do not advise the use of this cup for hot beverages.

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!

Yes you can use them for hot liquids, however, I would avoid extreme temperature changes because they are glass and they will break.

I have never put warm beverages in mine personally but I am sure you could! Its pretty durable. I think warmer rather than scolding hot! The cup probably wouldn't keep the beverage warm for very long but would be able to take the heat for a short period.

I don't think so. First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury. Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

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 used mine for Hot chocolate and it kept it hot for longer than a regular cup. Try putting HOT tap water in it for about 2 minutes before you put the Coffee in and it should do the same.

It is not good for liquids. It is good for everything else. I have two of these and liquids are not the best., You would have to use a thermose.

It is used for extremely hot tea so yes It can be used for hot coffee. I don't think it's a good idea to actually boil the water in the cup though.
