I see that it keeps drinks very cold, but will keep coffee from getting lukewarm?

Other sites advertise that it will keep hot beverages toasty without making the handle hot.

I've never tried cold stuff in it, but it keeps my coffee hot for a LONG time. I've had coffee in it from the morning, and it is still hot late afternoon/early evening.

Yes. It keeps coffee hot very well. I always pre-warm it with hot tap water.

The Carafe does will keep the coffee hot for a few hours. I come home from work and it is lukewarm after 12 hours. Zap it in the microwave if you need to.

After preheating the thermos I put hot coffee in it in the morning. I don't usuLly drink it all. The next day when I clean it out for the next batch the leftover coffee it's still warm.

No. But add a lot of ice cubes and keep container out from direct sun and your drink will stay cold.

I actually bought them for gifts & specifically bought the kind without an automatic shutoff so a drink would stay hot till they turned them off. I am told they keep a ceramic mug filled with coffee very hot. If your tumbler is not heat resistant... like plastic or even some glass, I would think this item would not be for you. If you want something that keeps a drink HOT, use a different drink container because this item works really well. Hope that helps.

It stays hot until coffee has been in long enough to cool down. Depends on several mitigating circumstances.

The lid is a press - not insulated, but I doubt it would be worthwhile for it to be insulated. This is not a thermos, but a French press that does a pretty good job keeping coffee hot for longer than a glass carafe would. Use a tea cozy or put the coffee in a real thermos if you want long term heat retention. And....it won't break - a real plus.

I used cold, since I like iced coffee and cooler coffee. I would think both would work well, just depends on the temperature you like your coffee.

I usually put two cups of ice in mine and that keeps my drinks cold all day. I found if I used chipped ice it doesn't stay cold as long.

I would differ with the suggestion it doesn't insulate well. We recently took them on a hot beach vacation and they kept our drinks cold for hours.

Debbie,Truthfully, I purchased this for a gift.The person I gave it to said it keeps her coffee very hot on the way to work, she lives 50 minutes from work.She also stated when she arrives the coffee/drink is still as hot as when she filled it.Hope this helps,Spencer

...the coffee MAY stay hot...but I wouldn't know since the handle is a heat sink, therefore it's impossible to hold UNTIL the coffee cools down. I do not advise the use of this cup for hot beverages.

Yes! Just turn it back on and select how long you want it to keep warm. They have from 1-4 hr periods it will keep it warm! I love this machine, it also features a bold brew setting for stronger coffee which I use to make my ice coffee.

The thermos website only mentions cold but that may be because its catagorized as a hydration bottle. My personal opinion is that since it is marked dishwasher safe on the bottom it can handle hot liquid. I would put coffee in it.

No, it is insulated to keep the heat in, in my opinion it is not worth the money, it does not keep hot beverages hot much longer than a regular cup, or colder than a regular glass. I purchased a stainless steel insulated thermos that keeps ice for 2 or 3 days, and hot at least 24 hours if you don't leave the lip off all the time. For the hot it still would keep your hands warm. Hopes this helps.
