if you have used this for cold beverages, about how long does it keep cold? i like to drink half ice-water when i drive in FL heat.

It keeps warm better than cold, but, today was really hot and when I got back in our car after having the cup in there for an hour, the water was lukewarm, as compared with the water in my plastic water bottle, which was hot.

I don't remember the last time I used this for cold, but the thermal part works, so it would help. It's pretty small, overall, so I could count on it for a short time, but nothing too long.

I'm guessing this cup would keep a decent temp for about 30-45 minutes if it's closed up. However, where I come from, in the winter, you don't let your coffee sit long enough to get cold, so I don't accurately know how long that would take. If you let your cup sit, you're not really a coffee drinker anyway, eh?

I am not sure as I use it for cold items. I do know that it keeps my drink fairly cold for about 3 hours until I remember to put it in the refridgerator.

My guess is no. First off, you would probably damage the bottle, and second, the bottle is so well insulated that it would probably take a long time to get the snow/ice melted. I have heard of people in AZ and other warm states talk about how iced tea, or ice water will stay for hours in their Hydro Flask in a car well over 120 degrees (they even said the bottle was too hot on the outside, but still had ice inside). Now, is it possible? I think it could be, so if you are only concerned about using it emergencies, I think you are okay. Otherwise, I would purchase a small tin cup or something to add to my pack in case of emergencies.

This does not sweat with cold liquid and/or ice cubes. The liquid stays cold for 4 hours...it's a great water bottle.

I'm not sure about cold, but it keeps liquids hot for at least 3 hours ( the time it takes us to ride to Vermont to visit relatives. I put tea in it and it's still hot when we get there.) The great thing about this mug is, when it's closed, you can toss it across the room and it won't spill a drop. Don't put anything carbonated in it. When you open it, it will gush all over the place. I hope this helps a little bit.

I don't know about how long it stays cold. I only use it in the microwave. It will stay hot/warm about 45 minutes.

When I saw the question, I thought "why not?" So I tested with coffee. Doesn't seem to stay as hot as long as it stays cold. I think the bottle may need to be warmed first by swishing it with very hot water. Now, 1) my coffee pot doesn't make super hot coffee, and 2) it cools fairly quickly and 3) I did leave the straw open. But, comparing the coffee in the Bubba with coffee in my cup, both only lukewarm, Bubba stayed warmer longer. I do agree that you wouldn't want to drink hot liquids through the straw; hello to a scorched tongue! Absolutely the best for keeping things icy cold, though!

We had took an 8 hour trip and my milk stayed cold the whole trip. I haven't tried it any longer than that. But from what I remember the pack was still cold by the end of the trip. Hope this is helpful.

Pretty much what everyone else said. I use mine to keep warm water (ie: warm not hot) for drinking. I'd say it loses between 25% - 50% of the heat over a period of 24 hours (depending on how often it's opened and how much is consumed). Still a good product.

Absolutely! I've left mine in the hot car for 8 hrs and when I got back the beverage was still cold and even still had ice in it! Believe me you won't be dissapointed!

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

The flask does not get cold, or hot when I put hot beverages. You may have a defective product, but more importantly, does the flask keep your drink cold?

As others have noted, it depends on how hot the liquid is to begin with, the air temperature around the mug, and what you consider hot enough. We've tried a variety of mugs, including Cuisinart and Aladdin. This mug is hands-down better than all of them, in terms of ease of use without spills, convenience and keeping liquids hot. On road trips in a 72 degree car, coffee has remained pleasingly hot (to us) for about four hours, OK for a bit longer. This is about twice as long as any others we've used.

That's a very subjective question. It depends on how cold the water is when you pour it into the bottle. Also depends on what's the temperature outside the bottle. If its freezing outside then the bottle will keep the water cold for hours/days. If its a 100 degrees outside don't expect the bottle to keep the water cold for more than 30 minutes. If you put the bottle in the oven that's heated that's another story. So where do you want to take this bottle?

I got this for my husband so I don't really know. He has never put a hot liquid in it, but I don't see any reason why you can't. I have a similar one and I would certainly use it for hot liquids if the need arose. So far I have only kept water in it, and I love having it when I drive because you can sip and still see where you're going. if I am wrong about the hot liquids, please let me know.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL
