Zojirushi says no hot chocolate in the mugs, which was why I bought it. Water coffee tea are ok. Is anyone using hot chocolate and any issues.

I decide just water cause I have a old one and after coffee or milk the smell of the mug is wired.

I think they might have said don't use hot chocolate because it's hard to clean afterwards. I use it for milk tea, and the black ring doesn't clean thoroughly and it does stain the plastic drinking spout.

Yes,I use hot chocolate in the mugs.There is no any problem of it. The temperature holds very well even after I finish my class all day long.

I've never used hot chocolate in it. It slightly keeps the coffee or tea smell....so I wonder if there is something to do with that. However, I will say it is AMAZING at keeping things hot/warm. Good luck.

Anna, I'm not trying to be a smart ass but you should READ THE MANUAL...It does make hot chocolate and be sure to run it once without any product after you are done to clean the machine.....All in the manual...

I'm really a coffee drinker but occasionally like a change of pace and this was a change I liked. Sorry it wasn't the one for you. I suspect most of the hot chocolate cups are powdered mixes. I think it's great that there are so many brands to choose from that most anyone can find one that appeals to them. Good luck in your search, Jerry.

Ainslee, you misunderstood my comments. I don't ship the mugs I placed an order and received the mugs. Because I am very happy with them I give them a high rating and wrote a very favorable review. I received them a while ago so I don't remember how they were shipped but they came through fairly quickly, without sustaining any damage. If you're looking to buy the mugs I highly recommend them.

Since we got our electric water pot I rarely microwave it any more but, yes I do sometimes rewarm my tea in micro tho rarely very high or long as we have a 12-1300 watt microwave. I love this mug. It's my second - I dropped and broke original and was thrilled to find it on Amazon as replacement of exactly same as my original. I'm a big Vincent fan. Regards, David

I suggest to soak the cups in warm water (not HOT, but little warmer than luke-warm) before pouring the hot soup...And yet, may be the soup could be not boiled hot hot...

No I haven't had any problems with water droplets on the outside of my Zojirushi, but I only put coffee in it. So I do not know about cold liquids.

No problem, you're welcome. I purchased it for my wife and she loves it. I don't drink coffee, but the kids love it too (Hot Chocolate).

I'm not an expert or a representative of the company. But I did buy it specifically so that I could steep tea in it. I drink chaga tea, which is a ground mushroom. The grounds stay beneficial through several pots of water and I wanted to be able to see how dark/strong the water was so I would know when to add new chaga grounds. I was very disappointed to see the "DO NOT" instructions, but after talking it over with my scientist husband, I'm using it anyway. We could only posit their concern might be the use of metal or glass infusers, and the problems they could cause by banging or lying against the glass. I'm using a spice bag, with the strings feed through the hole in the lid and tied off on the handle. No problems so far.

Hi Heidi, I bought one of these and after 1 yr it stopped working and there was rust build up on the inner lining. Maybe I got a lemon but for me, I'm not going to purchase from this brand again... To answer your question - Never tried hot choco. But coffee was fine.

Laura, I only made it with hot water. I'm not fond of the cold cappuccino drinks. I do love it. Better than any I've had in a good Italian restaurant.

I'm really surprised by the number of people who dont use water. I only use milk with the chocolate and its amazing. It's like drinking thick chocolate milk or a chocolate shake.

For me this is good news... I have the coffee pot... but, no pods :-) Thanks for letting me know about them coming out with more pods in June. I do like my senseo!!

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.

I never thought about just putting my hot chocolate in the cup and using it that way. Thanks. I tried the k cup hot chocolate cups but like the Cold stone creamery packets much better and much cheaper. Thanks for the great idea.

In my opinion the chocolate taste pretty good in water only, the vanilla not so much. I recommend the chocolate over the vanilla any day, has better consistency and less bloating. That's my opinion.

Well, that is a slight problem. I washed it off with very hot water at the end of each day. That mostly took care of it. I suppose that you could boil it every once in a while if you didn't think it was clean enough. The fact that it kept things warm for so long made it worth the extra cleaning for me. If you drink your beverage fairly quickly that wouldn't be such an advantage so you might want to pick a different cup. One tip - if you pre-warm the mug using hot water, the warmth of the beverage lasts even longer. I'm a slow drinker so I could put coffee in in the morning and still be drinking it at midnight and it was still warm enough to drink! Well, that is a slight problem.
