No, you should avoid putting hot or boiling water in a copper bottle.
Here's why:
-
Copper Reactivity: Hot water accelerates the reaction between water and copper. This causes the water to absorb a higher concentration of copper ions from the bottle.
-
Potential Health Concerns: While copper is an essential nutrient, excessive intake can lead to copper toxicity, which can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
While lukewarm water is generally considered safe, it's best to avoid elevated temperatures to minimize copper absorption into the water. It is recommended to use copper bottles for storing water at room temperature or cooler.
