Anyone know if this would hold boiling water? I want to use this for backpacking trips where I boil water separately, then add it to this for coffee

Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

I doubt the collapsable structure of cup. It has some rubber. Not suitable for coffee. I will suggest carry some paper cup.

It's just fine for hot liquids, cereal, coffee etc. It has a snap-in lid to help when you reconstitute oats and dehydrated foods. What you can't do is boil water in it, it isn't microwave safe but it is dishwasher safe. It is "graduated" inside with markings from 100ml and 4 oz up to 600 ml and 20 oz.

It's fine for boiling water. I used it at Burning Man to make coffee in the mornings and for meals. It's made out of silicone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

I'm a little surprised that people are using this to boil water. It is not made for this. This is a pouring device only for use in the pour over coffee technique. You need to use another kettle to boil the water then transfer the hot water to the Hario. If you don't want the get another kettle you will be very limited to the amount, about one half of the kettle, you can use safely. It is not made for the regular process of boiling water. BE CAREFUL.

I would not recommend it, for it is too delicate. It is to be used as a tranfer pot for your already boiled water source and for serving and/or steeping.

The pot holds three cups, that's to the rim of the pot. There is ample water for a large cup of coffee. This kit is for light weight back packing. I cook full breakfasts and have a full cup of coffee, too.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I'm not using at a high altitude but my guess is that you should be ok save for a slightly different boiling temperatures. The 'maintenance temperatures' you keep water at should not be affected by altitude given that I'm assuming they use a thermometer.

Hi Candy, The directions say not to directly boil the water in the pot. If you are just setting it on a wood stove to keep it warm that would be ok.

KT, sorry this wouldnt work with your coffee pot..no place to catch the leaks...the water will just roll right off...sorry!

Yes, I bought it separately myself, and have used it successfully. Works well for coffee pot or pot heating up water or any liquid, or bringing to boil as well.

No. If you want to boil something, I'd suggest using the coffee pot to hold the sauce and spaghetti os

It's plastic; so adding boiling water is going to leach something. How much I cannot tell you, maybe nearly nothing, maybe a lot. I can definitely recommend that you don't use this for boiling water unless it's a life-or-death situation. This is a canteen made for drinking water that's normally not above room temp. It's best utilization is as such.

This isn't a coffee pot. It is more like a teakettle, which is what I use it for - just boiling water. It is a "coffee boiler" because it's the kind used to make old-fashioned boiled coffee, also called "cowboy coffee" - where the grounds are boiled in water over a campfire, say.

Ack! Wish I'd seen this question prior to purchasing the kettle! Seriously disappointed that it doesn't hold water at temperature. I made the mistake of assuming it would.

I'm not really supplying an answer for you but when I go to fill with water to make a pot of coffee, the water starts filling at the travel mug line, it doesn't go down to the single serving where it should start for either pot or cup. so it won't make a pot of coffee or single serving. Also the booklet provided doesn't say anything about that the single lever should be pushed down when brewing a pot of coffee.

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

I have this unit and had the same concern when I read other reviews. For my camping uses, 7000 BTUs is more than sufficient for boiling water and all other cooking purposes at lower altitudes. It would probably not be adequate at altitudes above 1mi. Lower temperature conserves fuel and is less likely to cause accidental burns. Unit cools quickly after use for storage. I'm glad I bought this one.
