can boiling water be used in either container?

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

No, you have to run off the wort from the grain into another vessel for boiling. Unless you are doing some sort of BIAB.

It is very heavy glass, but I would hesitate adding boiling water. I use mine to store flour and sugar.

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

This is a double walled teapot for brewing the tea in. Although I have kept the tea warm on my woodstove it would be best to heat the water in a separate container.

Yes I believe you can. I'm not sure about boiling liquid, but hot coffee should work just fine. These are great still 5 star items. To hold a gallon and go in the single 1/2 gallon spot. Pretty sure you'd be all set making your coffee ice coffee in this.

Yes, you can use another container as long as the container's opening lines up with the brew dispenser. You can even use a plastic container or pitcher. I love this item! If the break happens while brewing switch the machine off and once you have another in place switch back on and the brewing will continue.

Sure, as long as the glass is room temperature or already hot. Just don't pour it into a cold glass pitcher or any glass for that matter. Lets say you have ice tea in the pitcher and wanted hot tea, make sure you dump the ice tea and rinse the glass pitcher with room temperature water or luke warm water, then you can pour in boiling water.

I personally would not pour boiling water in this container. As I mentioned in my review from a few years ago, the one I purchased (as a replacement for one that I got in the 90's) broke the first time I poured very hot- about 200 degrees (but not boiling) into it. Manufacturer's changed the formula for making "tempered" glass and this new formula doesn't seem to be able to take the "thermal shock" that the old glass formula could take. (I made ice tea with almost boiling water in the old glass pitcher for over a decade until it broke when I dropped it on the floor). Several years ago Consumer Reports did an article about this topic, and their research indicated this was happening because of the change in the glass formula. If you research this topic online you will find information about this issue.

I don't see why you couldn't but are you aware that a lot of teas should never be put into boiling water? A lot of teas actually are recommended to be done at lower temperatures. I'm not trying to solicit but I am part of a company that does sell loose leaf tea and there is a tea app if you have an apple or android cell phone that you can download for free. Go to your app store and look up Tealightful It has a lot of great information about all types of tea.

I have never tried putting boiling water in the bag but I know people who put the bags into boiling water to cook food. I personally do not cook in any plastic for Heath reasons.

Though I don't drink hot beverages, I would imagine it would be. However, I have read that you don't want to boil liquids in this container.

The pitcher is made of glass, so I'm assuming it would be fine. The lid however is plastic, so I would avoid getting it in boiling water.

I am not sure. I suppose you could but I don't think you could get enough water in the bottom. You might end up boiling the ones on the bottom. Does that make sence?

I'm sure you could pour boiling water into it with no harm, but if you are using it for sous vide cooking it doesn't matter. The temperatures used for sous vide are far lower.

No it is all plastic inside. I would not recommend boiling water. It might melt.
