If you thoroughly preheat the thermos with hot water it will stay hot for two days and warm for 3 days . This does depend on the temperature that is outside the thermos. If it is outside in very cold temperatures it will cool off faster .

I preheat the airpots with boiling water, and make the coffee for our dahlia society meetings about noon. When our meeting starts at 7, it is still as hot as when I put it in. The next morning, if there is anything left over, it is still hot enough for me to drink.

This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it. The more hot beverage you have in the pot the longer it will stay hot/warm. I have found that if you put boiling water in the pot first to warm it up while you are making your coffee, then fill it 4/5th (two 12-cup pots), it will last hot for about 5 hours and drinkably warm for another 5. It also depends on how hot you like your coffee. My mum like it scalding hot so she doesn't like these things. Me, I am fine for about 6-7 hrs, then I need to microwave the cup to reheat it. As others have said, you can still find warm coffee in the pot the next day 18hrs later, but it is too cool for my taste. This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it.

Depends on how long you leave it in. Normally it's not hot after 5 to 6 hours inside the Thermos. You can easily take it out by hand.

The thermal carafe will not reliably keep the coffee hot for more than 2 hours. BUT, it never lasts more than 30 minutes in our house so it has never been an issue.

No it wont stay hot for 2 hours... but honestly it never lasts that long in our house. I would agree that 1 hour is the maximum for hot coffee in this press.

You're right it doesn't keep it hot real long. I'm a sipper so by the time I'm done, in say half hour, it's just luke warm.

No it doesn't. It'll keep liquids, like coffee, hot enough to drink for a couple of hours, but not close to 24 hrs.

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

I'm not sure how long the coffee stays hot but I know you can brew hot coffee into the mug!

No. Hot beverages will stay hot for up to 4 hours so microwaving is not generally necessary.

Sort of depends on what 'hot' is to you. I've had 3-4 hours of good temp. for my coffee with this thing. Does really well on keeping ice water icy as well!

I've only used it for cold drinks. It's heavy stainless steel so would assume it would keep hot too.

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.

I use it daily for work and coffee only. Hot for 2 hours, warm for about 3 more lukewarm the rest. It only holds two normal cups, and I sip from it all 9 hours at work.By the end-of-the-day I just drink it out which ever temperature it might be. I must stress that I sip from it and do not pour it out onto a cup. Not really hot. Hope this helped....

It stays hot enough to drink for upto 3 hours, but stays fresh tasting, not burnt like coffee makers that have warming plates. It helps if you pre warm the pot with hot water before brewing.

Depends on what you consider hot. I don't think it matters in the coffee level. I would say maybe a couple of hours. It does not really keep coffee that hot for more than a few hours at most. Then it is drinking temperature for me and too cool for my husband. It stays lukewarm for quite awhile.

Yes. It says for up to 12hrs. I haven't used this particular thermos for hot water (only cold water for my son in JK), but I had used another Thermos container (the 1L ones that keep water hot for up to 24hrs) and that was great. So, I definitely trust this one will keep water hot for the day - though, not as piping hot towards the last few hrs.

It will keep the coffee hot for several hours -- preheat it with boiling water. I bought a steel thermos which works a bit better. But the carafe is good if you plan to drink it all in less than 2 hours.
