Does it keep beverage warm or hot? It only says 'cold for 12 hours'. And how long can it keep the water drinks like poured at the beginning

I only tried warm water (not hot) because it contains plastic parts. for the warm water, I feel 5-6 hours it can keep the temperature. of course it is related to the environment temperature and how warm the water you input also.

It keeps both hot and cold...depending on what the temp was when place into the bottle. I don't think they recommend "hot" because since there IS a straw attached ...you might burn yourself. I put drink with ice in at 8am and left in car and carry all over and by 8pm, little chips of ice still inside. For hot, i don't put in boiling...i put in lukewarm and it stays lukewarm for quite a few hours as well. i don't think the plastic parts should melt since the straw parts are made of silicon. I also dip straw parts in boiling water to sterilize and it stays perfectly fine (I got the foogo for my daughter and her straw gets really nasty with backwashes...gross) hope this helps It keeps both hot and cold...depending on what the temp was when place into the bottle.

have only used cold. We use it mostly on our motorcycles. We have forgotten to empty and when doing it the next day the ice is still in it. It also has a nice handle.

It's not for hot beverages, only cold. It either says that on the insert flyer or on the bottle.

If you preheat the mug with hot water for a few minutes it will last up to 5 hours hot. If you put it in the freezer for a few minutes it will keep things cold for up to 7 hours as advertised. Be sure and use the open and close valve. This cup has a small bottom to accommodate cup holders in cars. It does tip over easily. I love mine.

I have had hot coffee the next day. I love this container and would buy another one. I always fill with hottest water from faucet and put cap on it while my coffee is brewing. I haven't used it for cold but it stands to reason if you fill it with coldwater and ice and let it sit for 5 min. then put what ever you want to keep cold.

It is all dependent on how hot your water is. With hot tap water, it stays *hot* for 30minutes or so. Then it is just warm.

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!

Any mug will stay hot longer if you "pre-heat" it. If not, the mug takes more heat energy from the fluid to warm up. That means and less heat energy in the fluid which means it cools faster. I always run a few ounces of heated water ( right out of the spigot on the coffee maker) into my mug to warm the mug before i fill it with coffee. It works great and the coffee stays hot for hours.

My daughter received this hot water bottle from us. She says she has put the hottest water from the tap and then hot water from the tea kettle into it. Hot water from the kettle is too hot to put in by itself. She reports that approximately 45 minutes later, it is at least warm. Enjoy!

Several hours but it also depends on how hot the liquid is when you put it in. If you keep the lid closed, it also helps keep liquids hot. Really good mug.

It varies with the beverage and whether or not you used hot water to heat up the mug before you put your beverage into it. Good 4 hours sometimes longer. Imagine it would be shorter time if in a cold area. I keep my car warm.

I make my coffee and while it brews fill the thermos with very hot water put lid on and leave sit until coffee done brewing then pour it in heated thermos...I have had very warm coffee for about 5-6 hours...the warmer thermos is when you pour in liquid and temperature of starting liquid will affect length of time & temp of things input...

It's VERY cold the first 4 hours. Then cold the next 4. Only fair cool on the last four hours. It did work great for our baby bottles. I kept it out of the sun. 12 hours is a really long time! It wasn't cold at 12, but it didn't spoil our stuff either. We loved ours!!!

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

In order to keep it hot, I boil water and put it in the mug for ten minutes then pour it out and put in my coffee. It will keep my coffee hot for about 4 hours then it starts to go warm and will keep it warm for about another 3 hours.

Never did keep it hot - the carafe is just lightweight and only good for a few hours. Rinsing your carafe with hot water before brewing helps it say hot longer. I transfer the coffee to a great 12 cup thermos since I take it to work which will keep it hot for up to a day.

The Carafe does will keep the coffee hot for a few hours. I come home from work and it is lukewarm after 12 hours. Zap it in the microwave if you need to.
