can we store hot water in copper bottle - #24279

Pooja

I am really curious about whether can we store hot water in copper bottle. I’ve been using this beautiful copper bottle I got from a local artisan market, and I love the way it looks. The thing is, my friend told me that copper might not be great for hot liquids. I usually fill it up with hot water in the morning to make my herbal tea and carry it around for the day, but just last night I heard from someone else that can we store hot water in copper bottle is a big no-no? Like, does the heat do something to the copper? I’ve tried looking online and found mixed info, some say it’s fine and others warn against it. I can't find a clear answer, and I don't want to damage the bottle or worse, harm my health or something. Also, how about keeping cold water? Is copper really good for that? I mean, I want to benefit from it, whatever that might be, but if can we store hot water in copper bottle could be harmful, I need to know! Does anyone have reliable info? Just kinda worried about this.

Doctors' responses

Storing hot water in a copper bottle is generally not recommended. Copper is a metal that reacts chemically with acidic or hot substances. When you put hot water in a copper vessel, there’s a potential for the copper to leach into the water, which can lead to increased copper intake. Over time, excessive copper can be harmful to health, potentially causing copper toxicity. This might affect people differently depending on their overall health and any pre-existing conditions they may have. Symptoms of copper toxicity can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. So it’s best to avoid using copper for hot water—especially if you are regularly using it for your hot herbal teas. It’s preferable to use copper bottles for storing cold or room-temperature water, which is thought by some to have certain health benefits. Cold water doesn’t interact with copper in the same way as hot water, making it safer. Copper has natural antimicrobial properties, which could potentially help purify water, though scientific support for health benefits remains mixed. Make sure you are keeping your copper bottle clean and well-maintained to minimize any risk. Regular cleaning is important because corrosion or oxidization (like patina) can develop over time, especially if it’s not cleaned properly. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents; instead, you can use a mixture of lemon juice and salt or vinegar to clean the inside gently. If you’re eager to use it for beverages beyond room-temperature water, it might be better to do so with a different type of container specifically designed to handle hot liquids safely, such as stainless steel, which is more inert when exposed to heat.
