Can you use it for hot drinks, like tea?

I'm not sure. It is made of hard inflexible plastic. I guess you could, but I would look into a cuppow for hot drinks.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

That would be a No.According to the Instructions on the back paper covering: "Not approved for hot beverages"

I would be hesitant to serve anything hot in it, which you probably wouldn't do anyway. Tin teapot and cups would become hot also. But something cold or warm should be okay.

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

It does work for hot tea, because you add ice to the carafe to make it ice tea. But the carafe only fills up about 1/3, which probably amounts to a good sized pot of hot tea, but it won't make a truly giant pot of tea. My husband prefers using the coffee maker for tea as it has a burner to keep the tea warm.

Yes, it does. But this item is not meant to be used with hot beverages, according to the manufacturer (probably because of the risk of burning one's mouth). I use it in wintertime with slightly warm tea, nevertheless.

The product is made of a hard plastic, so it probably could hold hot tea and not compromise the material. That being said, it would be very hot to the touch. You would be better off searching for a double-walled glass.

I suppose you could, my husband just puts it in a tea ball and let's it sit in hot (I mean really Hot) water till he likes the color then he drinks it.

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170F

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.

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

No, it's not to be used for hot beverages as stated in the product description.

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

Yes, I use mine for tea all the time. I still hate the thing though, the lid is horrible.

If you mean on a stovetop, then the manufacturer says no. It's designed for steeping tea only. But you can get a candle heater to keep the tea hot.

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 to drink my tea all the time! But you have to be careful or you'll burn your lips.
