I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

I'd love to help you but we returned the thermos. It didn't keep our coffee hot & we never tried the cold liquids. Sorry.

Tina,Thanks for asking, a bit surprised you'd ask me as my review was a rather strange one to say the least. It says very plainly NOT to use with hot liquids, but also says 'dish washer safe '??? My dish washer gets pretty hot, especially if I use the dryer (which I usually don't) but have had no trouble with that. With that warning, I've never used one for coffee, but with a dozen of them and just 1 of me, I'll try it out. I see in other comments that they have been using them for coffee with no trouble. What the hell, take a chance. FINS UP! Robbie

I have only used it for coffee. MY bridge group enjoys hot coffee throughout our playing time. 9:30 - 1:00. I have never tested it for length of time but occasionally I haven't emptied it the next day and it is still warm.

I wouldn't do it! Do you mean to use it like a pot/pan? I wouldn't want to take that chance in case it would slip and you could get scalded. But as a measuring cup for dry/liquid measurements, I love it and use it very day.

The purpose of the inside cup is for insulation to keep liquids cold without sweating on the outside. I have not used my cup for hot beverages as I prefer not to sip hot beverages through a straw. But it just might work for hot as well as cold. Hope you enjoy it.

I haven't used the cup. I got it as a gift for my son.I was impressed by the item and how well it is made. Since it is copper, no harm will come to it when using hot liquid.

Yes. I stays hot for as long as I need it too. I tend to let my coffee get cold and never finish a cup so Ilooked for a cup warmer and took a chance on this one. It works VERY WELL. I hope you find it to your satisfaction as well.

Yes you can use them for hot liquids, however, I would avoid extreme temperature changes because they are glass and they will break.

The metal transfers heat very quickly. It's not insulated and you could easily burn yourself trying to hold the cup. Additionally if the plastic top is exposed to high enough heat for long enough it could deform. I would suggest against using it for hot drinks.

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

The cup would hold hot beverages just fine, but copper is a great conductor of both cold and heat. I just put some HOT water in a mug and within 30 seconds the cup as well as the handle became too hot to hold. If you were to wear an oven mitt while drinking your hot tea or coffee you should be just fine, but for bare handed use I would not advise it!

I have used it for both however I am couscous about a boiling beverage so I normally dress up my coffee in another cup and then pour it into my Life Factory glass container & have had know problem.

I only used it to mix a powdered drink with warm water. I never used it for hot coffee. Be careful to hold down the top when blending as it does not stay on. Good luck.

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

Hi Sharon, To be honest I haven't tried it with hot liquids, but have used it simply for cold with or without ice. If you want me to experiment for you, let me know, and I'll test it. I like the size and the loop in the cap, which makes it easy to carry around, so I would definitely recommend those features.
