Does coffee stay hot the same amount of time, less time, or more time then a ceramic mug? Thanks!

...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.

About the same, but I would't bring a ceramic mug hiking or camping - to easily broken and too heavy.

Hi, just a little less time than ceramic. Not much but a little, I like it because it is much better to put on an open flame,and warm up. I don't use electric coffee pots anymore so you should try the Coleman Enamelware Percolator. I bought 2 of them because I like tea to. I cut the tea bags and then drop into the percolator filter. Oh by the way, the aroma in the air is wonderful. It makes me feel like I'm camping. So have fun and taste and smell the difference. It's great. Thanks for your time,,,,Terry

The cup gets hot, not as much as a ceramic cup, though. And the handle doesn't get hot at all.

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 like my coffee hot so after brewing I put the mug in the microwave for 40 seconds and it's fine. have not tried it for the full 2minutes to boil cold water.

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.

Yes, longer than the plastic double wall tumblers. I drink coffee all day long and it keeps it hot for 3-4 hours minimum. Depending on the outside air temperature of course. I absolutely love these tumblers. I now have purchased a total of 3.

Yes! As a matter of fact, I am drinking my second cup right now, 30 minutes after making the coffee. It's hot! The warmer goes off automatically after one hour.

Company employees said they keep the liquid hot the same as other comparable mugs. Hope this is helpful!

The biggest flaw I found is that the mug is not well insulated and dissipates a lot of heat. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond and now my coffee stays hot for hours. What is your specific concern?

I actually have not used this mug for coffee, I have however used it for water and I'm not kidding when I say water stays cold for up to 24 hours. It's amazing. Sorry I couldn't help with the coffee question.

Debbie,Truthfully, I purchased this for a gift.The person I gave it to said it keeps her coffee very hot on the way to work, she lives 50 minutes from work.She also stated when she arrives the coffee/drink is still as hot as when she filled it.Hope this helps,Spencer

Only is hot during brewing process. The heat plate does not stay hot, since the coffee is kept in a thermal carafe, and therefore does not continue to cook the coffee. This was one of the main selling points for us. We love ours! It is amazing how long the coffee stays warm in the carafe.

Hi Jeri. I preheat the pot using hot water from my instant hot tap, the same water I use to pour over the coffee. it is ceramic so it does keep it relatively hot, it won't stay hot for hours, but still at a good temperature for about an hour.

Not really. It is a simple ceramic pot. If you fill the pot with boiling water before you make the coffee your coffee will stay warmer longer, because then you will have pre-heated the interior of the pot. But there is noting special about the warming characteristics of the pot. Stay near a microwave as you use drink the coffee.

I always finish my coffee in less than 12-hours so I don't know for sure if that claim is true. I do know that when I pour a cup of coffee at 8:00 am (with the bottle kept indoors at room temperature) that, although my coffee is not as hot as when it was poured, it is still hot at 4:00 pm.

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.

...Just like any ceramic cup, it gets hot after being microwaved for over 1:15. But the cup will cool quickly but you drink will retain it's heat for awhile. I think you'll love it and this cup cup will definitely attract attention. I hope this help you. Thanks for asking.
