Keeps my coffee nice and hot all day, about 8-10 hours so far, I just preheat it with some hot water for a few minutes before putting coffee in and it stays hot all day. Nice fit and finish, easy to drink out of, popstopper is solid and keeps it from leaking. Top quality.

I have to admit, I haven't tried hot beverages in here yet, but it does keep cold beverages ice cold for more than 8 hours. I put ice water in mine and bring it to the beach, it sits in the sun all day and still has ice in when I go home! I really like that I can sip directly from the container and don't have to pour it into the cup/cap. I just wish they made a larger one!

An Insulated Drink "Bottle" that's well worth it..., July 10 2011
By LP: Wisdom, Justice, And Love - Published on Amazon.com
After having looked in all the local stores for a vacuum insulated mug with a stainless steel interior, I became disappointed in all my options. For work, I had settled on a Thermos Insulated Travel Mug (no longer available for purchase). However, the issues I have with the Thermos is the slow flow, the top is prone to pop off, and worse of all it is liable to fall over on its own and spill its contents.
The Kaze Vacuum Bottle is everything the Thermos is not.
The Kaze Vacuum Bottle is stable and not liable to fall over. The Kaze Vacuum Bottle lets the fluid flow when you want (it at the push of a button) and stops it when you don't. Even the bottle and handle feels better in my hands.
I wasn't a fan of the screw-on collar/top when I first received this as a Father's Day gift, but now I feel that the screw-on feature is what helps guarantee the bottle will not to leak (versus the Thermos pressure-fit push-on lid) and I have been converted.
Pros
Stainless steel vacuum insulation
Stable and not liable to fall over
Fluid flow is good without "drowning" the drinker
Removable ergonomic plastic handle
Push-button stopper to stop (or allow) fluid flow
Contoured collar to "direct" the drinker where to drink from
Screw-on cover to protect the mouth area of the bottle when it is liable to get dirty (perfect for camping)
Cons
Push-button stopper is relatively loud (From 2-feet away, it woke my infant who is a light sleeper)
The location of the handle is not set until you screw the lid (so the orientation of the mouth area to handle changes every time you screw on the lid)
The white push-button stopper silicone-like seal is starting to absorb the color of my coffee after about 15-uses
Annoying to disassemble the push-button stopper (of which, I have only performed twice but it is on-par with other products with a push-button stopper)
