At the top it says "Great for ALL beverages." In the paragraph description it says "Not intended for hot beverages." Which is it?

I've never used it for hot beverages, I'm sure it would work just fine. I'd say the only drawback might be that the glass gets a bit warm, but it is insulated by the shatterproof plastic so it should still be comfortable to hold.

We used this for holding hot sauces (200 degree) for catering events. Works flawlessly.

I'm not sure why they advertise that it is great for all beverages because in my opinion it's not intended for hot drinks. Great for cold ones though. I bought it for my father in law to drink water out of on the go because he he doesn't like drinking out of plastic bottles. He says he can taste the plastic. He uses this frequently as an alternative. Hope this helps you out.

Instructions say it is not for hot beverages because the is no place for steam to escape and pressure would be created.

I tried a hot beverage once but found out the whole cup gets hot making it difficult to hold. Wouldn't recommend it for hot beverages.

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.

That would be a No.According to the Instructions on the back paper covering: "Not approved for hot beverages"

I suppose you could, but I use the matching travel cup for coffee. I have never put anything hot in this. One reason to not use this for hot beverages is the size of the drink spout. It's pretty good size and I could see getting a big slug of a hot beverage and really burning yourself. I can say this works really well for my cold beverages so I would think would be fine for keeping hot beverages hot.

I am the first one to NOT want plastic touching my 195 degree F water... but 1) this never touches anything but steam and 2) it appears to be made of a nylon-ish/silicone-ish material and is key to keeping the heat in/deflecting some of that heat away from the top - ouch! Bottom line for purists - you can remove it - noting that there are 2 nuts present there one locking down the other and they say to NOT remove it on a sticker... but it is your choice. If you are pouring fast enough to have the coffee touch the plastic - well...you are too desperate for your "fix" and need to slow down and enjoy the moment a bit more - seriously!

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

I wouldn't because I don't know whether the synthetic it is made of is meant for hot beverages.

I don't think this is what you are looking for. This is specifically designed for use with liquid beverages.

I use mine primarily for hot chocolate for my son's swim team. Not once was it hot to the touch. I usually put hot water prior to putting in the hot chocolate. Maybe something is wrong with the 1 you have.

There are 2 small holes on the top: one to drink from and one to let the air in. They don't close. But this makes no difference for heat loss. This is not double-walled and the drink cools quickly.

I don't know whether the type of plastic of which the cup is made would be safe for hot drinks. I can say that, if you could get the cup to work at all with the top on, then using it for hot drinks would not be a good idea and would probably be a bit dangerous. I do not recommend this cup at all even for cold drinks - I especially wouldn't recommend it for hot.

No. If you got to life factory website it states it is not meant for hot beverages

If memory serves correctly (I gave it as a gift), the top was shiny stainless on top, regular on the underside. Remember that this is a French Press; thus, there is a hole straight through the center of the lid for the plunger. Accordingly, the lid does not offer any thermos-like thermal protection. NO product will keep your coffee piping hot for hours on end. Unless, of course, you care to spring for a double- and triple-wall borosilicate glass vacuum bottle inside a live-steam-circulating pressure vessel. Sorry for seeming to be rude here, but you're looking for something that does not exist outside of a research laboratory.

It's not meant for hot drinks. It's meant to be put in the freezer and used to keep drinks cold.

I have no problem with hot beverages. The tablecloth is thick enough to handle them.
