Has anyone tried drinking hot tea/coffee with this? Its dishwasher safe, although the label indicates "for cold beverages only."

I wouldn't recommend using this with very hot water. It's standard glass and likely less durable than a normal canning jar. If you DO try this, warm the bottle up slowly using your tap water first to bring it up to a warm temperature. Make sure there are no cold spots before adding hot water as it's the difference between cold and hot that causes glass to break.

I have made tea directly in it -- I pour very hot (not quite boiling) water in and add the teabag. I've never had a problem.... but perhaps I'm just lucky. I typically don't put the cover back on until it's cooled a bit.

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

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

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 would not immerse it, and I would absolutely not wash it in the dishwasher. I take a wet dishcloth (with dish soap on it) wash it, rinse, and make sure you do not get the outside wet on the side of the dial. Any of the cups that heat up can not be immersed. This is not a very good cup. Hard to drink out of, there is no temperature control on it. It just keeps heating up until you can't drink it. There are other cups out there that you can set the temperature you want and it will hold it at that temp. Out of 1 to 10, I give this cup a 2.

Yes, It is only for cold beverages. You can't put anything hot in it or put it in the microwave.

i havent used mine for hot drinks , and would probably avoid anything HOT HOT . one of my coworkers also has one , and said it got screwed up when he put it in the dishwasher instead of hand washing it , so i would think anything HOT HOT would ruin it . . but if its just really warm , it should keep it warm for quite a while .

I have never used this mug on cold drinks, only for coffee. I assume it would do a good job keeping cold as it does a great job keeping coffee hot, best mug I ever had.

I do not put it in the dishwasher, however i believe it says it can be. Any insulated mug like this i won't put in a dishwasher. But LOVE the mug......

i have not tried tea, only cold beverages. I LOVE these glasses though, they were a big hit at my wedding a month ago!

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.

I'm guessing it is not dishwasher safe.I lost the instructions for this one, but i do have another similar zojirush stainless steel mug and it is not dishwasher safe. And this one you're inquiring about has a lot more parts and gaskets than the other.

It slows me to pour hot tea into it as I brew and then cool for iced tea. I still warm it a little in the sink prior to slowly pouring the tea into it as to not shock the glass. I have made 20 ir so batches so far and then I cool and keep it in the fridge. Love it. I would say if you are trying to keep beverages hot this is not a solution though.

I have never tried this as we use them for cold drinks...guess there's only one way to find out!

I've only used it for ice water thus far but the product description says "Dishwasher safe and shock resistant"...most dishwashers heat the water to 140 degrees so it can at least handle that. 140 degrees is too hot to drink for most people but if you were brewing tea, you'd need it even hotter (anywhere from 175 to 212 depending on the variety of tea leaves) and coffee is around 185-200 (at least pro/commercial grade brewers...homeowner grade might be lower). I think you'd be fine with hot/warm water but maybe preheat the glass by filling it with warm water before you go brewing tea or filling with extra hot water. I checked the manufacturer's website and no additional detail was listed - also, it's not advertised as "borosilicate glass" (more expensive glass that can handle very extreme heat/cold) so stick with preheating if you are going to use extra hot water.
