Will the cup burn your fingers when it's filled with hot tea?

Do not-do not grab this cup by the body when you fill it. Use the handles or you will promptly throw it down along with the skin from your palm. Lesson learned. I'd also be careful what you set it on; it will scorch a table top. That being said it is the best little cup ever.

As a tea affectionado myself, I empathize with your concern. As Stoker has said, if you hold the cup only by the handles, you won't get burned. If you are worried about the titanium burning your lips as aluminum most certainly will, IMO, titanium will not transmit heat as badly as will aluminum, titanium being very close to steel in that respect. Take reasonable care, wait until the temperature of the tea is somewhere around 130 to 140 degrees and you should do fine. Thats how I prefer my FTGFOP Darjeeling in my Toaks 450ml around the campfire.

You can also try a Double Wall version of the cup. The empty space between the walls of the cup help stop heat loss and keeps you fingers safe. I don't know if Toaks makes one, I use a Snow Peak.

I drink hot tea in mine. I place a tea bag and pour boiling water in it. I have had no problems.As a chemist I am used to working with pyrex beakers and see no difference in the quality of the beaker mug and beakers in the lab.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes. The coffee needs to be hot to melt the oil, if it isn't hot enough, the oil won't melt and you get chunks of solidified oil. It doesn't need to be so hot that it would burn you if you drank it. The oil will sit on top of the coffee and almost looks like a pool but you just need to stir it again. Doesn't have any impact on the taste of the coffee at all. It works in hot tea as well.

I bought it for my niece so I won't be using it. With that said, in the description it says it's perfect for a cup of tea. I'd assume a hot cup of tea. Not sure if it's microwave safe.

Yes, that hot. It's great for steeping tea, and reconstituted dried veggies in soup or dip mixes. Yes, it is hot enough to burn, so caution is advised! Hope this answer helps!

If it is really hot , like coffee out of the pot hot, the metal can burn your hand .

Not really. I use the dish as a resting spot for the infuser. Because I rinse my tea cup with boiling water before I place the tea-filled infuser on top, my tea stays plenty hot while brewing.

I assume so, but like any plastic cup it will feel hot to the touch - the plastic isn't super thick - I wouldn't microwave them to warm them up though.

I normally drink tea in a cup or mug but I agree that they are quite sturdy and withstand the hot dishwasher, so I wouldn't be afraid to try it. Your hand will get hot unless you have a cozy over the glass.

I have not used this bottle for hot beverages. It is a bottle within a bottle so I think that a hot beverage would not burn your hands since you are holding the outside plastic "layer". I don't know how hot it will keep your beverage. The straw is think rubber so I don't think it would melt it. Good question.

It is single wall glass so would be as hot as the drink rather quickly - use a glove! ???

I think it may depend on how long it was heated in the microwave. Since there is no liquid in the handle, it would only heat up as the heat transferred from the liquid you are heating towards the handle. The frequency of a microwave is set to make water molecules vibrate rapidly, and thus, cause them to heat, so I don't believe that the microwave itself would cause the handle to heat up. I have not experienced a "too hot" handle after re-heating coffee or tea in these mugs. Be careful when heating any thing in a microwave!

Having made both straight shots and many milk drinks using the machines milk warmer and frother, I can say that each has been hot enough to almost burn, but not so hot that it damage your throat, as many seem to want. Drinking beverages over many years at too hot can damage even down to your gut, and greatly increase the chance of Esophageal Cancer. I have a relative who suffers from this condition because she likes her beverages HOT! The damage takes many years to become apparent, but when it does, it aint no fun.

The metal transfers heat very quickly. It's not insulated and you could easily burn yourself trying to hold the cup. Additionally if the plastic top is exposed to high enough heat for long enough it could deform. I would suggest against using it for hot drinks.

It gets very hot after one toasted crumpet. My previous toaster had an ugly plastic sleeve around it, so I had lost my caution. Got this two days ago and I burnt my hand on the side... both mornings since! Careful.

I just heated a glass of water in the microwave for 1 min & 5 sec. The water got very hot, enough to make tea that was hot but not unthinkably hot, and the glass did not break. In fact, I could hold it in my hand without discomfort. I would say you are fine to heat water in it and not have an issue. Good luck.
