Is it OK to use for hot coffee? I like to put my hot coffee in my Vessel cup for the commute to work, then once I get to work, I drink water in it.

I would use this instead: Contigo AUTOSEAL West Loop Stainless Steel 20-Ounce Travel Mug

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.

It's a hard plastic so I suppose you could put hot coffee in it. And you would have the rubber part to hold on to.

I don't think hot drinks are recommended for this. The advertisement says cold drinks and I honestly haven't tried to put anything hot in it. The rubber straw and the inside part of it dont seem like it could withstand anything hot.

I have never tried to put anything in it except cold drinks. You have to drink the liquid out of a rubber straw so that may not work that well. But like I said I've never put anything but cold drinks in it.

It is not scalding hot, but hot enough. The coffee maker allows you to brew regular or strong. Of course the strength of the coffee is a function of the volume of coffee and water. It is good for our taste though.

I have not used the Klean Kanteen for anything other than cold water, so I cannot answer your question about hot coffee.

Using as a travel not a good idea. The froth is created by magnetic bottom and so the bottom of the "cup" is really hot so you can get burned. Better to use separate cups.

I think it would be okay with extra hot water. The oils from the coffee might leave some residue.

I wish I could help with an answer, but I have only used hot water...If the ice is in your cup and you are just pressing cool or cold water through, I do not see why it wouldn't work...coffee may be a little weak...

Yes. I don't think it's quite as hot as a traditional coffee maker with a warming plate, but it's close to it. I haven't had a problem finishing my cup while it's still warm unless I'm running around the house while drinking it. I had it in a Contigo travel mug the other day and it stayed quite hot for a long time (enough to burn my tongue a few times :)).

The coffee is hot enough. I had two of these units fail on me, however. (Which is too bad because I really liked them while they worked.)

Hello George, here is the secret....I pour boiling water into this mug first thing in the morning while I make my breakfast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid closed to fully pre-heat the mug. I then dump the hot water, pouring through the lid to pre-heat the lid.I then pour extra-hot coffee into the thermos and seal it up tight. I then have my coffee break at work, 3-4 hours later and it is too hot to drink! If I waited longer to open it, I'm sure it would be nice and hot!

You can hold it comfortably. But you will burn your mouth if you try to drink it since there is no cooling "well" -- the hot coffee rushes directly into your mouth. Beware if you plan to drink your coffee anytime soon after you pour it in the cup. I personally recommend something else because of that (e.g., Zojirushi).

You can get hot water for your cup and put your tea bag in it. It works great, it gets a lot of usage at our office at work.

We use it as our drinking thermos. Don't forget that hot things stay extremely hot for a good long time so be careful with that coffee! :)

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

As usual, you would use cold water in preparing the coffee to perk, but I can assure you that the finished product is hot, hot, hot! Not lukewarm, or sorta hot, but truly hot!

No problem at all. I do that every morning and the 4 cup line on the coffee pot allows me to fill a 20 oz travel mug. It brews in under 2 minutes too, which is really nice.

I am on my second one and it always keeps the coffee hot - I have never had a problem with that. The reason I am on my second one was the hot water vessel failed after about 8 years of some pretty good use.

The water gets very hot just like you boiled it on the stove. So yes you would have to let it cool down before drinking. But if you don't want it that hot only fill the cup partway, heat that amount of water, empty to the cup and add cool water for the desired drinking temperature.
