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.

Not that im aware of well i dont recall reading it on the package? I used mine only for water so i really dont have the best answer for that, sorry.

Not really. It's just designed to keep hot stuff cooling down slower. It might heat cold water in an hour or so but not hot enough to make tea and that amount of time could damage the mug.

For this particular item only COLD fluids. Thermos does sell other items that can be used with either Hot and Cold fluids.

I use it for coffee, but you could take the "guts" out and heat water if you like.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.

Sorry, but I have not tried it with hot beverages because I bought it only for cold liquids.

it can be used for any liquid you want to keep hot, just don't use the steep basket. You cannot put coffee grinds in the steep basket and hope to make coffee though (if that's what you're thinking); the holes in the basket would be too large.

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.

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.

It says to only use for cold, but I have used it for hot drinks and it worked great - but you have to be careful when drinking from it if your drink is really hot.

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.

I don't think you would want to use this for coffee. In this tea kettle, the water circulates through the infuser. The tea is then infused. When you make coffee, the technique is more a drip. You want the water to drip through the coffee, not continue to circulate through it. Also, after examining the holes in the infuser part of the tea kettle, I think the coffee grinds are too fine and would fall out of the holes.

you can use it for that but it is not well made. I bought a SS Thermos and no longer use this one.

It's plastic so I wouldn't. They make a stainless steel version which would be better for hot liquids.

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.
