I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

The metal transfers heat very quickly. It's not insulated and you could easily burn yourself trying to hold the cup. Additionally if the plastic top is exposed to high enough heat for long enough it could deform. I would suggest against using it for hot drinks.

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

I would say yes but I've never tried that. It is shaped like a bowl so I think drinking from it would be a bad idea. However if you plan to transfer the coffee after it's heated I would think it would be fine.

I'd love to help you but we returned the thermos. It didn't keep our coffee hot & we never tried the cold liquids. Sorry.

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

It's plastic so I wouldn't. They make a stainless steel version which would be better for hot liquids.

Although I have not used in drinking hot coffee, the manufactured material would handle heat. The metal might heat up a little. I have used with cold coffee and it worked great, no coffee taste residing of course I cleaned first.

I have never put warm beverages in mine personally but I am sure you could! Its pretty durable. I think warmer rather than scolding hot! The cup probably wouldn't keep the beverage warm for very long but would be able to take the heat for a short period.

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.

I don't think you can use it for hot beverages. I have only used it for cold.

I just bought this thermos and the instruction/care booklet said not to be used for hot liquids. Better to be safe than sorry and burned. Hope this helps.

I would guess, yes, I had it to hot coffee. I contacted the company directly about mixing it with a hot liquid and they responded within a day.

No, this cup is not designed to hold hot beverages. Starbucks hot (as well as many other popular coffee chains) coffee is often served at temperatures just under boiling (around 200 degrees Fahrenheit). It's a wonderful, sturdy, well-built cup, but it is not meant to withstand those temps. Hope that helps!

I have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

I tried a hot beverage once but found out the whole cup gets hot making it difficult to hold. Wouldn't recommend it for hot beverages.

Can be used as coffee mug. Not for science experiment heat. Came with no packaging nor sure who made it
