Can I use this mug for hot liquids (e.g., coffee, tea, etc.)?

Yes. I use it for tea, coffee, cider, and soup. I throw my morning coffee into it on my way to work (capping it with a regular sized Ball jar lid) and reheat in the microwave if needed. The handle can get a bit hot if you put the jar in the microwave, but nothing an oven mitt can't handle until it cools slightly.

Canning jars can withstand heat while in pressure cookers and dishwashers. However, pouring hot coffee or soup into a jar-mug might crack it due to a sudden temperature change.I've never used them for hot drinks.

NO!!! I wouldn't even put warm liquid in it. When I made my son a cup of warm tea, the graphics flaked off leaving me with a black mug. Iwouldn't do it again.

Mine has only been used for tea. It is a very sturdy mug and I wouldn't think there would be a problem if it were used for coffee. If you are worried about coffee stains, I think tea stains are as bad- and so far, I haven't had a problem with tea stains. Hope that helps!

I think it probably would. The infuser basket is quite narrow, so larger tea bags would probably have to be worked with a bit to get them down in the basket. I have never used the cup with any hot liquids either, but I believe the plastic is sturdy enough to hold up to hot water/tea infusing.

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, you can . . . but, if it's a hot (and even an immsely cold) drink, like coffee, ytou might want to be very careful. I have no idea how quickly liquid will flow out of this tumbler without the silicone lid on. Plus, metal's a good conductor of heat AND of cold -- as ye olde physics classes have taught us yes -- so you might not want to give your lips a scalding surprise. Use the silicone lid for its ultimate coolness is my advice. Not a stupid question at all Hyok.

No because of the stainless steel. It is also not dishwasher safe. A good mug though and it keeps liquids hot.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

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 don't think so.First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury.Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

THis type of plastic is designated "safe for reheating or warming only," which I assume means you can't actually cook in it safely. But for reheating coffee or tea, should be fine. I'm still loving my mug!

I wouldn't use it for hot beverages myself, though it would certainly keep them hot. The problem is, it uses a straw, not a "sippy-cup" style spout, so it would be very easy to burn your mouth badly. Also, though the mouthpiece is silicone (and thus would be fine with even the hottest drinks), the straw is (BPA free) plastic, and I'm not sure how well it would hold up to heat.

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'm sorry, I haven't even tried the mug yet, so I'm not sure about hot beverages in this mug.

I see no problem with using this to warm a a coffee mug instead of a teapot ... I have on several occasions, but my primary use is as a teapot warmer.

Yes as long as the opening is the same size or a little bit smaller than a normal mug
