Is this pitcher good for hot water?

I don't see why it can't be used with hot water. However, I would be careful what you mix in with the hot water, i.e., salt and be cautious when touching the pitcher. Also be sure not to put the pitcher directly onto a heating element.

Not so much. Heat is quickly translated to the pitcher and handle making it a dangerous proposition for coffee pouring and pitcher handling. Same goes for the cups. Best for cold and iced beverages!

As long as it's plain water, it would be fine. Tea or coffee would pick up a lot of flavour from the copper, which you mightn't like. It wouldn't be dangerous or unhealthy, though. The pitcher isn't meant for hot; it isn't insulated nor does it come with a lid. It is quite lovely!

I can vouch for tasty cold water but so far have not put any warm/hot beverages into it yet....

I use this one in my kitchen sink for cold drinking water, I don't think it can be used for hot water as well. You may call or contact 3M first before you buy it! Good luck!!

As long as you align the top in the centered position it pours great. If it off-center it tends to dribble. It is the best pitcher, dishwasher safe, no red algae type growth or creepy plastic dust. It is heavy duty, but perfect for holding water and other liquids.

No. I use an electric kettle to boil the water and then pour it in the pitcher to brew.

No. You should only use Pyrex-style borosilicate glass if you're using it to boil water in the microwave. The pitcher could easily shatter.

I've used this for years for iced tea. I've probably run several thousands of cycles of hot tea -&gt; fridge to cool, then apply lid. The lid fastens tight and does not leak, but I can't comment on it being air tight. Also, the weight of cooking oil would make handling a pitcher of this size unwieldy. I would probably suggest going with something glass with a screw-on lid.

I personally do not trust for very hot food or liquid. My preference is glass as the best choice. Unfortunately very few glass pitcher blenders are offered in contrast to polycarbonate, etc

Absolutely, the reason is tempered borosilicate glass. I pour boiling hot water into it all the time - no problems. Yes it is thin and this helps keep the temperature differential down. I agree you should make sure the pitcher is at room temperature before shocking it with hot water.

I don't believe this is the correct pitcher for that model. That model appears to have a center drip. This one has a side drip.

Of course you can use it with hot water, it's a shower filter. I like mine. It really makes a difference in the softness of the shower water.

No. It is just a plastic pitcher with a removable strainer. You fill it partially with hot water, let it brew, then add cold water/ice to quickly cool it down quickly.

Well I haven't poured hot water in it yet, but it's pretty thick glass so I'm sure it could handle it. With glass you just want to be careful to not Shock it by changing temperatures too quickly, so just don't pour hot water into the pitcher if the pitcher is ice cold. Hope that helps

No, This is a plastic pitcher. But the plastic is harder than normal which is why they have a trade name for it (accraglass?). You would need to boiled water on the stove, or in the microwave as I do with a pyrex measuring cup. Or, sometimes I use my keurig.

Yes. I pour hot water from the kettle into the pitcher every time I make iced tea, which is often. When you pour the hot water, leave the lid of the pitcher off until the water has come down to almost room temperature. I've found that if I put the lid on when the water is still hot it creates air pressure when it cools and it makes the lid harder to untighten.

No, you can not. This particular pitcher is made of soda glass. It's suitable for cold and room temperature water or juice. It does not accomodate boiling water. Refer to Grosche website for other pitchers that are made of Borosilicate glass that you can pour boiling water into.

Yes, this is a good option for heating water for tea, coffee. It does take over 15 minutes to really heating it up.
