Is it insulated? Is it ok to put hot drinks in it (i.e. coffee, hot chocolate, etc)?

I don't think it is for hot. It is a horribly designed ice water jug. It is cheap at Walmart.

Very minimal insulation. I'd look at something different for hot drinks. I never tried hot drinks but it didnt keep cold ones very cold. It seems like nothing more than a big plastic container for liquids.

Yes. It's almost too hot to handle after being washed with hot water let alone filled with piping hot coffee. It isn't insulated.

Yes it is well insulated. Unless the other cooler is small it would not fit inside but you should not need it. It gets really hot out by the pool but this keeps the drinks cold and there will still be ice the next day.

i havent used mine for hot drinks , and would probably avoid anything HOT HOT . one of my coworkers also has one , and said it got screwed up when he put it in the dishwasher instead of hand washing it , so i would think anything HOT HOT would ruin it . . but if its just really warm , it should keep it warm for quite a while .

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.

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.

Yes, i do believe the carrier was insulated, but the lid did not fit tightly at all. I had to return mine.

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.

No! It conducts heat perfectly. I bought it, love how it looks, filled it with coffee, and touching the handle is as hot as sticking your hand in the cup. Hot. It is great for cold drinks but cannot be used for hot liquids. One with a wooden handle would be nice for hot liquids.

No, it's very well insulated. It doesn't get hot when there's hot liquid inside, and doesn't sweat or feel cold when there's cold liquid inside.

I don't believe the one is supposed to put hot or warm drinks in this bottle. It says on the package that it is for cold drinks. It does an excellent job of keeping things cold.

There is a vacuum compartment between the inside and the outside, so the outside stays comfortable to the touch. Even after the coffee/hot beverage has been inside for a while, the outside is comfortable to the touch.

I would not put hot drinks in this cup because the child would not be able to hold it. I wash it in hot water and feel how hot the outside gets so it wouldn't be a good idea.

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 not tried for cold for hot it is ok. It comes with ice pack though. It is more of a storage bag than a insulator but I would recommend it

It is not an insulated cup. Cold is fine, I'd think twice about hot, it could melt the plastic, or burn child's mouth coming out

No it's not insulated. I mainly used it to carry my son's cereal container.
