Can it withstand pouring hot liquids into it (like freshly brewed tea)?

I'm reeeeally gonna bet against it. Its well made but I think you'd want tempered glass like a coffee pot is made of for that.

Hello! You could fit some diced ginger in the tea infuser and use it the way they suggest. I'm fairly certain stainless steel and silicone can withstand heat just fine, but maybe you can find a better product for what you're looking to do. Something meant to be completely submerged. Hope this helped!

This is a very durable how and has held up well so far. I have not tried to run hot water through it, but I believe hot tap water would be fine.

I wouldn't put anything hot in it even though it's double walled the heat of the coffee or cocoa could make it uncomfortable to handle. I feel that the glass and straw could hold up to the heat.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

I think the stainless steel would hold up (assuming you left the lid off to allow for vapor expansion), but since the flask is only 2 oz (the size of a shot glass), I would be surprised if that was useful.

This has happened to me, I completely shattered the top because it was too hot and I let go of it while pouring. You must hold the lid and the handle. I have to use a towel etc to grab the handle sometimes. I like this tea kettle regardless though.

I think so but never tested. Mine handles boiling water regularly and has held up better than plastic cups from C&B.;

No, it is made of pottery and would break if put on an open flame. Heat the water in a metal kettle or saucepan and pour over tea leaves in the pot.

I have been using these to brew hot tea for a couple of years and then letting it cool and putting in the fridge for iced tea. Yesterday, as I was pouring the hot water in one of the pitchers the bottom shattered. Not sure what I did differently, but I sure was surprised when it happened.

That shouldn't be an issue. We've poured near boiling hot coffee in it several times and not had an issue per se.

The spout neck/opening is rimmed with the same metal as the cover so damage is not likely. I've had the kettle for about 5 months now and use it at least once a day. So far nothing is amiss. I think this is a good quality product.

I don't see why not. I use it as a tea pitcher & I always pour the freshly brewed (and very hot) tea into it.

We use ours for sweet tea so usually don't shake it...but I just tried it for you and when I didnt hold the lid it dripped 4 to 5 drops so not too bad and 2 when I held the lid it dripped a couple drops so either way it seems to be sturdy. One thing I do know is that the pour spout does come detached from the lid to clean so I could see the potential for disaster as the pitcher gets older and spout becomes a little less secure

Hi Christine,The answer is Yes to Both, It is Bamboo, and could hold Hot Liquid.

No. I use mine for home brewed iced tea and it isn't leakproof, I'm unable to shake it without it spilling.
