Hi Riker1384,
My machine heats the water which then drips through the tea just like a Mr. Coffee. The plastic pitcher is under the drip and the hot tea goes in the pitcher. The ice is in the pitcher not the machine so yes you could leave out the ice and have hot tea.
The machine can use loose tea with a filter be CAREFUL I have found loose tea swells more than tea bags so experiment with the amount to not over load the volume.
The thing about tea is that it gets the best IMO when it is steeped. The machine can't do this it can only drip. Given that you have to use more tea leaves in the drip than if you brew it in a pot. IMO the loose teas are alot better than the bags and you have a wider selection of teas as well.
