Can it pour only hot water out, to make tea for example?

Yes there is a hot water spout that can be used for hot water only by removing the milk container and inserting the water spout attachment.
1387232
Yes, it can through the removable spout that is interchangeable with the milk container

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.

There is an option for that, but I haven't used it. Honestly, we use it to make Tevana tea's so it's not 100% accurate. It's always a few degrees over and we end up having to let it sit for a minute before we pour it into the tea pitcher.

No you pour boiled water into the pitcher this is a great tea maker but is not for stovetop use

You sure can. Just check to be sure that you don't have a k-cup in the head. Choose the amount of hot water you need, then press the "hot water" button. The machine will dispense the hot water. It's just that easy!

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

What i meant when I asked if I could use it simply like a teapot was if I could make tea or coffe in another gadget and use it only to serve the them like if it was let's say thermal carafe . Thank you.

Yes you can! I have a regular electric stove( coil one )It's so quick to make a hot water! I just love this!

If you want to have hot water out of the red tap or cooled water out of blue tap....yes. If not, then no but why would you want this if you just wanted filtered tap water. Many cheaper solutions for that.

No. And - on a different matter - as I stated in my review, best to get the Dripless Teapot Gadget (not currently available on Amazon but if you Google it, you'll find it) because the teapot does drip significantly when it's full and you make the first pour (and sometimes even the second).

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

Yes, you may use this machine to make tea, however, without the coffee masking the taste of the water, the hot water that comes out always tasted like plastic to me, even after repeated cleaning and flushing of the machine. There are just too many platic parts that end up giving a plastic "flavor" the extremely hot water as it passes through. I returned the machine for that reason.

You mean fill pitcher only with hot water? Not including the plastic tubing in pitcher?

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

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.

No to regular coffee, but yes to hot water. However not ideal for hot water as its measured in small doses.

Not sure, never tried hot water. Maybe you could try warm water and let it sit at room temp until tea has flavored the water to your liking. Or sun tea brewed in the sun.

No, that is not an option with this machine. I have noticed that if you put hot water in it to begin with the coffee will be even hotter when dispensed.
