    Tea with milk remains SOLID HOT for 5-6 hours.
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on 5 January 2020*

Very good thermos. I have been using Zojirushi brand for decades and that's why I bought.Your tea made with milk at 7am will remain solid hot.. hot and fresh for 5 to 6 hours if the first serving takes place at around 1200 noon time.I take my tea with milk (Kadak Chai) to office which is prepared at 7.30am, I take my first tea by 8.30am which is solid hot, then my 2nd cup comes at about 11am which is again very hot to take, my 3rd cup of tea I drink at about 2.30pm which is not that hot but ok like lukewarm.

    The BEST travel cup ever probably
  

*by W***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2020*

I am so obsessed with it. Keep piping hot and ice cold water for 12 hours and can confirm... your drink will be warm after 24 hours ..it’s just perfect in many ways! I know is pricey and that’s for people who are responsible and would not lost it but it is worth to have it. Perfect
