Can you use this to just heat water for tea?

One more thing. I always run hot water in the thermos before i make my coffee. Coffee stays hot enough. Try that and see if that works for you.

You could, but the heating element does not heat up the water very hot (in my experience).

Yes, I use it for tea and instant hot chocolate. But remember to remove the coffee grounds filter basket. Even if you clean it after every use, I notice a coffee taste in the water when it runs through the coffee filter basket even if it's clean and empty.

Yes you can just put water in the top and run it through. I have put the tea bag in where you put the coffee and then let the waterrun through it and you have a nice cup of hot tea and it gets pretty hot. I love this coffee maker.

We've used it as a heating pad with hot water, but I wouldn't add boiling hot water from a tea kettle. If you do use the kettle to warm the water I'd make sure it's not boiling, but rather is 158 degrees (F) or slightly less since that's what the manufacture recommends. Best of luck!!

No. This is a cast iron tea pot which is not designed for cooking. To make tea, water must be boiled separately and add to the tea pot.

Nope! Just plug, fill with water, and use! I absolutely love it for tea, Cup-A-Soup, and hot chocolate!! Enjoy!

I personally have never used it to heat water for tea. It takes a good 25 minutes for it to brew coffee so if I were going to use it for hot tea water, I think I would: - Heat a small amount of water in the urn until it shifted over to the WARM function - Boil the remaining amount of water separately and then pour it into the urn Otherwise, you might plan on allowing 30 minutes to heat a full urn of water. Hope that helps!

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

Yes, you can but Depends on the temperature of your waterI always put hot water in the bottle, it can keep boiling hot for long time. little sip is fine.Lid is normal, but you can store some tea inside the lid. but it wont help make tea

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.

I use it to boil water for tea and it works very well. I would think it would heat a small pan or skillet equally as well.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

Yes. So this item isn't good for heating soups, etc., but works great for heating water.

You can do this however, you defeat the purpose of having hot water when you need it. I t takes a little whild to heat up just like a warter heater. Hope this helps.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!
