Can you use this for hot fluids like tea or coffee?

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. It wouldn't insulate and the plastic is somewhat thin and might stretch due to too being heated. Its definitely better for cold liquids but check the manufacturers website and that might give you the information you are looking for.

I wouldn't because I don't know whether the synthetic it is made of is meant for hot beverages.

I wouldn't. This plastic stains easily and will retain a coffee/tea odor and color. It is a GREAT water bottle. But I'd look for something else to carry other types of liquids in.

I think it would be fine to use it for hot chocolate but I have only used mine for coffee. It works very well and keeps coffee hot for hours.

You can use it for any hot (or cold) liquid, tea works just fine. With tea I do find that I usually need to let the tea cool down a bit with the lid off before I can drink it but once it's to the right temperature it will keep the temperature hot for a decent amount of time with the lid back on.

We don't drink too much tea but the coffee grounds we use in this coffe maker are pretty fine and we don't use a filter and the coffee turns out great! So I think it should work for hot tea as well. Hope this helps .

I haven't tried. But it says on the instruction that it is not for use with hot liquids. It's for cold liquids only and hot liquids may cause burns.

Yes you can if it's a coarse ground. There is another brand that has a fine gold mesh that works well for coffee and tea.

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

It certainly can be used to heat water (very hot, but not "boiling") for tea, cocoa, or instant coffee. I would not recommend using it for both brewing coffee and heating water unless it is cleaned really well; any coffee residual will impart a slight taste/color to the water. If you will be serving both frequently, separate urns (carefully labelled) would avoid this problem. Plan on at least 1 hr. to get the full 100 cup capacity to max temp. For coffee, follow directions and start with cold, fresh water. Although it may be tempting to start with hot water to shorten the brewing time, you'll get weaker coffee.

I wouldn't do it. The kettle is for heating water only, with various temperature settings for different beverages. And different types of teas. Hope this helps.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

That's what I used it for. Put in a couple of drops on the tea leaves before adding the hot water.

I'm not sure. It is made of hard inflexible plastic. I guess you could, but I would look into a cuppow for hot drinks.

Yes, it can make hot water for tea. You can program it to dispense the exact amount of water to fill your cup as well.

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

I only used it to mix a powdered drink with warm water. I never used it for hot coffee. Be careful to hold down the top when blending as it does not stay on. Good luck.

Yes, I use it for tea and instant hot chocolate. But remember to remove the coffee grounds filter basket. Even if you clean it after every use, I notice a coffee taste in the water when it runs through the coffee filter basket even if it's clean and empty.
