Will Product Heat Water Hot Enough For Making Tea? What do you users think?

i think it would, i have used this and similar models to it for over 15 years...the coffee is hot, keep in mind, it is on a timer, therefore, if you put room temp water in it, it will be hotter, or that has been my experience....i would never own any thing else, but i am single and it is ideal for me. good luck...

I just heated a glass of water in the microwave for 1 min & 5 sec. The water got very hot, enough to make tea that was hot but not unthinkably hot, and the glass did not break. In fact, I could hold it in my hand without discomfort. I would say you are fine to heat water in it and not have an issue. Good luck.

I would put the teapot, already with the hot tea in it, on the plate, then turn it on. I use a standard ceramic pot purchased from a crockery store. That way, the plate's job is only to maintain the existing heat. I would not leave it there for more than half an hour. Nothing worse that stewed tea. If you do this, take the teabags out first.Brew tea for only 3-4 mins.

Not sure but I would imagine anything made of glass placed on a hot stove may not be the best idea. I always boil the water in a kettle first then transfer it to the teapot for serving/keeping warm.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

Hi Mrs. Valle, I believe the better way to make tea is with hot water, but you can probably get away with using cold water as well. I hope that helped you. Roger S.

I have a Breville tea maker that I use to brew my tea (various settings let me go up to 212 for black tea), BUT after brewing I immediately pour the hot tea into the pitcher to cool and haven't had a problem doing so. (I love the pitcher because it holds almost 2 full brews from the Breville so I'm set for all day drinking.)

This is my sincere answer to your question. We use the hot water from this electric kettle to prepare individual tea, coffee and for other hot drinks. I can assure you will not be disappointed with this electric kettle . It is very fast to boil the water compared to our whirpool electric cooking rang. Since you asked me how many tea bags do I put in it? Don't you think it will eventually stains the kettle inner surface with tea/coffee stains ?

Not sure, I heat my water with an electric programable kettle to be sure the water is the proper temperature for the various teas.

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

That's what I used it for. Put in a couple of drops on the tea leaves before adding the hot water.

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

Yes, it does get hot enough that it needs to cool a bit before you drink it. It is the perfect temperature for steeping teas, or plumping up dried veggie bits in soup mixes. Yes, it can cause burns directly out of the unit, so exercise some caution. All things considered, a great appliance for the purpose! Hope this answers your question!

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

I make iced tea in mine but start it with almost boiling water. I do rInse hot water in it before though to warm it up.

I broke my teapot right off the bat. I replaced it with a coffee carafe from an old coffee maker. It gets as hot as the warmer on a coffee maker gets - I wouldn't put my decorative china teapot on it.

I'm assuming you mean "heat up water using my dutch iron teapot," and the answer is no. The teapot is meant to have water heated up separately and then poured into the pot. If you heat up the pot directly it wil likely cause irreperable damage.
