Can the cup be used for hot drinks?

Yes...it will handle tea, coffee, etc as long as it's not 'boiling'. I think the plastic will take it, it just get more rubbery/flexible. Regular warm drinks are fine. Obviously, you can't heat anything in it. We bought as requirement of Girl-Scouts, but I'd personally prefer to use military surplus or porcelain coated steel which are far more utilitarian (but indeed heavier).

Using as a travel not a good idea. The froth is created by magnetic bottom and so the bottom of the "cup" is really hot so you can get burned. Better to use separate cups.

Yes the cup can be used in the micowave but and the handle does not get hot. The finish is smooth. What this mug is not is hollow stoneware that chips with the slightest ding. LOVE LOVE LOVE these mugs.

I looked at the tag and at the cup itself- it says insulated tumbler, nothing specific to hot or cold? I dont use it for heat, to be honest. Mainly because of the straw.

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.

Yes, as long as the cup is under 5 1/4 inches. I use a ceramic cup that's a bit wide for it and it works perfectly. The element you sit it on doesn't heat up so any cup you want to use will work.

That would be a No.According to the Instructions on the back paper covering: "Not approved for hot beverages"

It works great as a desk surface, it is rated to 300 or 400 degrees so hot drinks shouldn't be a problem

I don't know whether the type of plastic of which the cup is made would be safe for hot drinks. I can say that, if you could get the cup to work at all with the top on, then using it for hot drinks would not be a good idea and would probably be a bit dangerous. I do not recommend this cup at all even for cold drinks - I especially wouldn't recommend it for hot.

Good question. I had not used mine for anything but iced beverages, so I just now poured some boiling water into one of them. The outside is just barely warm. So, yes, you can serve hot beverages in them.

I don't know if they are microwave safe, but I don't think these cups are appropriate for hot beverages. The cups are not insulated.

Yes you would be able to use it for hot or cold because of how it is made inside. Very durable.

I suppose you could use it for hot beverages but I use it to keep sport drinks & water cold on bike trips...works great

I have not tried it yet I would guess you could as it's a strong plastic like regular cups.

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

It's a hard plastic and I would imagine it could hold hot water, but it would feel hot to the touch. I'm not sure why you'd want to use this for hot water though. You'd be better off with an insulated cup.

It has a rotating spout that you could drink from. I wouldn't advise it for hot drinks as it keeps them at such a high temp. No problem with cold.
