Could someone tell me about how long the mug keeps the coffee hot? Thanks!

I drink my coffee rather quickly so I am not sure I can best answer this. But what I can say is that I love it. Perfect for that cup on the go, and another when you get there!

Couple of hours. Of course coffee gets cooler over time - still warm after 3 hours but not hot. Mug is well insulated and works about the same as other double-walled aluminum insulated mugs.

Honestly not as long as I had hoped. One of my only issues with this mug. Don't expect it to act like a thermos. More for drinking a cup on the go.

it keeps my soup hot, though i take less than 20 mn. to drink soup. i use a thermos covered cup to keep my coffee hot way past an hour or two.

I think it keeps it my coffee hot just as long as the e5 model, about 10 hours. Hope this helps.

The coffee stays hot for a while, but I'm not really sure how long since I have never left it on for hours.

It really does depend on the size of the mug you choose and the intensity...5-8 minutes is my best guess...I usually brew a half carafe...

I am tempted to just answer "hours", but of course "it depends" (sorry!). I think if you just pour from a freshly brewed pot of coffee into this awesome Nissan-Thermos stainless-steel mug, you should easily get at least 2 or 3 hours of hot coffee. Personally I drink 14 oz. of coffee much faster than that! But the real trick to this double-walled, vacuum construction is to PRE-heat the cup! First, run hot water from your tap (as scalding as you want) and then pour it into the cup, close it, and set it aside while you make your coffee. I assume the vacuum (?) stainless-steel gets heated up. Then, when you dump out the hot water moments before you pour your hot coffee in, it's almost as if you have a heated thermos! Using this method before a 2 hour commute I don't even notice a decrease in temperature at all. It seems to me that it will then stay hot 4 or 5 hours or even more! Obviously I am a huge fan of this "Nissan" Thermos brand.

It takes a good 20 minutes to a half hour after it's been brewed to get good and hot. After it's first been brewed, it's not as hot as we'd like. But, it does keep the coffee hot after that until it automatically shuts off two hours after it's been brewed.

Coffee will stay hot longer if you preheat the mug. I start by pouring near boiling water from my kettle into the mug and then into the coffee press. After letting the coffee grounds seep for about 10 minutes I plunger the coffee press, pour out the hot water in the mug and pour the hot coffee into the mug, adding sugar and cream to taste before sealing up the mug.

As others have noted, it depends on how hot the liquid is to begin with, the air temperature around the mug, and what you consider hot enough. We've tried a variety of mugs, including Cuisinart and Aladdin. This mug is hands-down better than all of them, in terms of ease of use without spills, convenience and keeping liquids hot. On road trips in a 72 degree car, coffee has remained pleasingly hot (to us) for about four hours, OK for a bit longer. This is about twice as long as any others we've used.

My coffee starts to cool down about 30 minutes after I fill it. And that is literally just starting to cool. Stays warm for a couple of hours. I hope this helps

I have used the thermal version for about six months. The interior has become a little stained with use. Coffee stays hot for at least two hours, and warm for much longer without any "burned" taste, since it is not on a hotplate. Hope this helps.

I used it 20 times already & haven't replaced it yet. Coffee stays Hot! That's why I bought it.

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!

As the responders state, the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for over 2 hours. I have poured a cup 4-5 hours after brew and it is perfect. You don't want an element that keeps it hot as that would ruin the coffee....Great product, highly recommended.

The mug is double wall stainless steel and stays hot a long time. The small hole is not completely closed but you don't lose much heat through it. Best style coffee mug I ever had.

Sorry I'm so late answering this question. My wife usually uses her mugs for Ice water and in the heat of the summer here in the low country,SC it is amazing how long the Ice lasts at least 5 or 6 hours. Now to answer your question; I placed boiling water in to the Contigo and after 5 minutes there was no change in the temp of the out side mug. after 40 or 50 minutes the mug was not warm at all but the water was still, HOT. HOT. HOT!!! Hope this helps. Old Frank

I have never timed it ... but if you put hot water in the carafe first then empty and brew ... I think it stays hot for about 2 hours ... I like my coffee super hot so I usually drink it before long ... hope this helps!
