I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

It's an insulated tumbler - so I am not sure if using a cup "warmer" would be a very efficient way to keep a beverage warm - that being said - it is a plastic cup and if the warmer gets very hot - may damage the cup...

I have only used it for coffee.MY bridge group enjoys hot coffee throughout our playing time. 9:30 - 1:00. I have never tested it for length of time but occasionally I haven't emptied it the next day and it is still warm.

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.

Yes. I stays hot for as long as I need it too. I tend to let my coffee get cold and never finish a cup so Ilooked for a cup warmer and took a chance on this one. It works VERY WELL. I hope you find it to your satisfaction as well.

I wouldn't do it! Do you mean to use it like a pot/pan? I wouldn't want to take that chance in case it would slip and you could get scalded. But as a measuring cup for dry/liquid measurements, I love it and use it very day.

yes, the only issue I found with it, you need to heat the cup up with hot water and even then, it doen't stay as warm as other mugs. But I love glass over plastic. The aluminium travel cups from Thermos aren't plastic and they keep drinks hot for longer.

I have used it for both however I am couscous about a boiling beverage so I normally dress up my coffee in another cup and then pour it into my Life Factory glass container & have had know problem.

...the coffee MAY stay hot...but I wouldn't know since the handle is a heat sink, therefore it's impossible to hold UNTIL the coffee cools down. I do not advise the use of this cup for hot beverages.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

It may be unpleasant to you, as the purpose of the container is to keep liquids hot and/or cold. If one uses it with out the cover and the straw, they might as well drink from any container, from a kitchen glass to a coffee cup. My advice to you, is this: If you are looking for a product that will keep your hot drinks hot OR your cold drinks cold, this product is fabulous and very affordable. If you are looking for a 16 ounce glass or plastic product, buy another. Good Luck... :)

You can put hot liquids in it. But it isn't insulated. You may want to look at the wide mouth version.

I just tested one in the microwave, having filled the mug near to the top. I used the "beverage" button and found the liquid hot and the handle cool. Previously, I'd just poured freshly brewed coffee into the mug with good result - handle stayed cool, no damage to the glass.

I would guess, yes, I had it to hot coffee. I contacted the company directly about mixing it with a hot liquid and they responded within a day.

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

I haven't used it with hot liquids yet but the mug gets super cold with ice. I think just like any other cup this will get hot with hot liquids but the handle doesn't seem to be effected. I would try hot liquids in it myself personally.

I don't know I always drink hot coffee. What I do is use half a packet with another blend of coffee. I believe if you use it as Ice coffee it will taste good with some creamer and sugar.
