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...).

Not sure this would work for coffee. I have personally never tried it but since it is plastic and double insulated, hot liquids may cause the plastic to expand and possibly crack eliminating the double insulating feature. I'm no expert and haven't tried it, but personally I wouldn't chance it unless you don't mind possibly having to replace it.

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

I am pretty sure that the cup is made of a silicone based material, and I have never known it to smell funny. That being said, I have never used it for coffee or other hot, strong smelling liquids. It has never added taste to a cold liquid, but I am not sure about hot liquids. It says it can withstand temperatures of 180 degrees, so you should be fine with coffee, but I have no definite answer. Hope I could help, and sorry I couldn't give you a clear answer!

I don't think so.First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury.Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

We do put boiling hot liquids in the mug, but I would be careful if you wanted to use the mug to boil the liquids. The mug we have has a small imperfection. There is an air bubble in the glass and we worry about adding too much heat and causing that bubble to pop.

I would say yes but I've never tried that. It is shaped like a bowl so I think drinking from it would be a bad idea. However if you plan to transfer the coffee after it's heated I would think it would be fine.

I've only used the cup for cold beverages. I would contact the manufacturer concerning its ability to withstand a hot beverage. I love the metal contigo coffee/tea (travel) containers.

I haven't tried, because it isn't intended for hot liquids. I have a Nissan Thermos that works well for hot liquids. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000K604P0?cache=3f07a5255f904c4a9f65f6d8e89e42c2π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1410725795&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I use mine to keep my tea hot, and it was still hot many hours later. No idea on this one. I did make a discovery this morning that this cup can't be shaken, or else the liquid comes out of it. How is it for you? I have tried dumping a little liquid out to no avail. I tried it dry with no avail. I am drying it out right now, and I am going to try it again. With both of our problems, maybe this ISN'T a good mug. I might have given my review too early. Don't know.

Sorry, but I have not tried it with hot beverages because I bought it only for cold liquids.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

I guess I haven't tried with any hot liquids yet, but it seems like it would be ok. It's made of a fairly sturdy plastic.

I wouldn't use it for hot beverages myself, though it would certainly keep them hot. The problem is, it uses a straw, not a "sippy-cup" style spout, so it would be very easy to burn your mouth badly. Also, though the mouthpiece is silicone (and thus would be fine with even the hottest drinks), the straw is (BPA free) plastic, and I'm not sure how well it would hold up to heat.

I had the same concern - couldn't figure out why the thing didn't work as a traditional "commuter" mug. It isn't. Think old-school thermos. Unscrew the top and drink or pour. And be careful if driving - the liquid stays hot.

It's an insulated tumbler - so I am not sure if using a cup "warmer" would be a very efficient way to keep a beverage warm - that being said - it is a plastic cup and if the warmer gets very hot - may damage the cup...

I drink it like hot tea and add a flavored coffee creamer. You could probably do it like a cold latte, but it dissolves best in very hot water.
