Can I use this for tea?

I generally just run hot water through my Keurig and then use a traditional tea strainer. I haven't really tried it for tea. Don't think it would steep long enough.

Don't see why not, but I have not tried it. It will be a greater challenge to steep it to get the right strength compared to traditional methods.

You could put tea in the filter but it will not steep your tea. It would make basically just make pretty weak tea. I ues the Keurig without any cup or filter to quickly make hot water and then put a tea bag in my cup. Or loose tea with a steeper.

As long as the tea is the same consistency as ground coffee it will work just fine. Also, I bought the disposable paper filters to put in this unit because it seals a lot better when you screw the lid on!

I don't know why not.....although I am not a tea expert. This is a percolator and I think that tea is "steeped"....but it just seems that you could put the tea in the coffee grounds container and let the water boil and drain through it....?

I don't see why not. Just push the plunger down once you put the lid on and it will function as a tea pot. It's a wonderful piece to have!

I wouldn't put it in a teapot - just put it in your mug and pour the water over top and let it steep in the mug.

I don't know, but it's worth a try. My parents use one just like this to make apple cider. They put the mulling spices at the top and put apple cider in it instead of water, and it works well. I would guess it would work with tea.

No.This kettle is only for boiling water.You can use the water to make whatever you want in a different container.

Hi, I only use the kettle to boil water, I do not use it for tea. Would recommend if you do use it for tea to periodically use vinegar to clean stains.

i don't see why not. but i'd suggest you use a tea bag for your loose tea. the container that comes with the jar is for ice only: no holes on it to let water go through. That tube is not for tea.

Yes, absolutely... here is how we recommend brewing hot tea as a tea press. ~ Clean off coffee residues from mesh filter, if significant amount consider a vinegar & water mixture. ~ Prepare amount of water needed for the cups of tea going to be poured as soon as the first steep of tea is complete. ~ Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite tea leaf per 8 ounces of water used. If stronger flavor is desired, add more tea, not time. ~ Lower plunger halfway to bottom. The idea is not to compress but to use the plunger as a sieve. Compressing tea leaves may produce bitter results. ~ Pour off all tea. Don't leave any tea steeping in water for an extended period of time. ~ Re-steep tea leaves as many times as you find they produce a tasty cup. ~ For more information about how to steep your favorite teas Check Out our Tea Chart Here &gt;&gt; http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81VVQ1GtR8L._SL1500_.jpg Hope this helps, Team Idylc Homes

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

Yes you could use it in tea however it tastes very green... it's much better in smoothies. You could always use small amounts of it in your tea and mask the taste with extra honey.

Absolutely. I don't know of any other way to use it. This is a wonderful, robust set that can be used to brew excellent tea.

The answer to your question is no. It is not meant for use like a tea ketttle. You boil the water first then pour into teapot with tea bag and let it steep for a few minutes. I love this set, very classy.

It probably could - there is quite a lot of holes in it - and the water could move in and out easily one would think - haven't tried mine for that - but I think it might be able to be used for that purpose. If not you always have a tea infuser - seems to me there are a lot of teas out there with fruit already part of the mixture.

yes, if it is something like a coffee mug warmer. I don't have a tea pot warmer.

I don't know, this company also has some similar pots specifically for tea if that's what you need.

Yes, you may use this machine to make tea, however, without the coffee masking the taste of the water, the hot water that comes out always tasted like plastic to me, even after repeated cleaning and flushing of the machine. There are just too many platic parts that end up giving a plastic "flavor" the extremely hot water as it passes through. I returned the machine for that reason.
