For those that have used these with hot beverages (to protect teeth), do they get hotter than a plastic straw would?

I would not use these with a hot beverage. They get super cold (colder than the beverage) with cold beverages. Using them with hot beverages could result in burned lips.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

I currently own the bent straw version by the same company and so I will share my experience. They are made of stainless steel. Take any stainless steel item you have around the house and place it in hot water to gauge the heat level. Metal conducts heat and cold. They in essence become the temperature of the drink you place them into. I use mine all the time for both hot and cold drinks but when I use it in hot drinks I let the drink cool down a bit before I drink. It doesn't cause a problem for me but you do have to exercise a bit of patience and common sense.

I don' think so. The straws are wider than plastic straws. You will never go back to plastic!

I would imagine they would get too hot to hold - we only use them for chilled or room-temp beverages. But, you could get or make some kind of cozy to keep the heat from your hand...

I would add that the plastic ones might be insulated and stay hot a little longer, but do you really want to drink water boiled in plastic? If you want water to stay hot a long time, get a vacuum sealed thermos, make sure it's vacuum sealed. It will stay hot for hours. This is the best kettle I've found to date, I think you'll be satisfied with it.

I have the Aquaovo version of this tumbler and I found that as long as you don't fill it to the top where the inner and outer glass are fused, it doesn't get too hot. It's still warmer to the touch than a stainless steel thermos but it's not uncomfortable. Just don't fill above the filter level.

They tend to get too hot around the top edge when you serve hot beverages in them but they are thermal because of the double walls so keep warm beverages warm for a while. I think they are better for cold drinks. They are super durable, I have had them for a few years and love them.

I didn't use them for beverages, I made marshmallow pops. But, my one year old chewed on them forever and they held up to that

I still haven't used mine....but dout it if heat is what forms them to your teeth. Hot food beverages might melt them again.

No they don't get hot. I have microwaved these and other shapes and sizes of the same type, and no problems. I think they are realy nice looking and serviceable.

I honestly can't answer that. I use regular old plastic drinking straws with mine when I need to. But normally I use mine for hot liquid so no straws used. Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe ask the seller. They'd know better.

I have never put warm beverages in mine personally but I am sure you could! Its pretty durable. I think warmer rather than scolding hot! The cup probably wouldn't keep the beverage warm for very long but would be able to take the heat for a short period.

I have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

No, the plastic did not melt. They lasted a long time, and were not too hot.

Not at all. I've had this mug for about 4 months now, and it's been nothing but absolutely great. If you put hot stuff in there, you can expect it to stay hot, without affecting the temperature of the outside of the bottle. In fact, you can just consider the outside of the bottle to be almost completely isolated from the inside, as the isolation is done extremely well.

No. You never put hot drinks in a straw thermos container. The hot liquid builds up pressure inside the container. When u open it via the flip lid the pressure Would cause the hot liquid just shoot out of the straw at you.

As long as the beverage is not too hot to drink, the straw should hold up to it without a problem. I would not microwave or boil them. I would question drinking a hot beverage through a straw only because it can concentrate the liquid in one area of the mouth and cause burns.
