Can you store hot milk in this container. Intend to use it for warm/hot milk for kids during winter. Concerned with milk stains/deposits. Comments?

I have only used this for coffee. I pour boiling water in it and let it sit for 10 minutes. Pour out the hot water and add the hot coffee. The coffee stays warm till the end of the day even after opening it several times. I left this home by accident one day and found the coffee still warm after 12 hours.

Works fine for coffee with cream in it. I wash it every night. We used it all winter and I never had any trouble with staining or deposits.

Short answer: Yes.Stainless steel is not significantly reactive in the presence of milk solids[1]. You should be able to store warm milk in this thermos. It will stay warm for several hours. Regular cleaning would be necessary, but no more difficult that cleaning milk off of anything else.Hope you have a nice winter season!

I think milk would be hard to clean from the straw if left... I only use for water. They say both warm and cold drinks and my adult thermos keeps tea hot

We only use ours for water and soda etc. It would fit a gallon of milk and it has frozen our soda once or twice so it would keep it cold enough.

Maybe but i wouldn't... i use it for my kindergartner. Plus it stains if you use spaghetti sauce plus things don't stay that warm nor cold. It's cute but not a great buy - in retrospect . I do use it still but it's not that efficient. I've bought so many lunch thermoset and containers- that's definitely a market with room for improvement. This is cute for small cold lunches.

It does foam the milk nicely, but you must store milk in small thermos (included) which needs to be refrigerated at end of day. Nice machine tho!

Yes, leaving it until morning is fine as the milk has been cooked and needs to cool. Refrigerate once it has cooled.

You actually can put it in normal cold milk. Just make sure you stir it well. :D I prefer using itin warm milk with some cinnamon and honey.Enjoy it however you want! ^_^

Yes. But the containers are definitely small, in order not to spill hot soup, you would have to put less than a ladle-full in the bowl. I often use them for milk and cereal [small portions] and the milk does not soak through. I love the bowls because for me, the small portion control is great, but I think most people would want a bigger serving. I also have the lids, which I was surprised DO fit, however, long term storage in the freezer or fridge is not a good idea because they are not airtight. The hot food I have had out of the containers has been fine, they hold up well, the heat does not transfer to the hands. The biggest concern would be that the size really is quite small. Yes.

I haven't tried it and just thought about it yesterday (made a big pot of soup). I think it would be great. They have 2 tiny holes in the top to let steam out. It's also the only container that keeps my ice cream from getting freezer burn. It's great quality as well.

These are great containers, but they are not like a thermos. Hot or cold items can be put in them, but hot items will eventually cool and cold items will eventually warm went left on the counter. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it for breast milk as I use the storage bags. I would probably suggest using it to freeze the milk then transfer the cubes into an airtight container. I wouldn't use for long term because they don't have an airtight seal. Hope that helps!

My recommendation is ABSOLUTELY NOT. I use this to make tea on a regular basis and to keep it hot for days-I drink that much. Milk will undoubtedly boil over. It would maintain the temperature at too high a degree. Unless you are RIGHT BESIDE IT, dairy milk will not work. If the milk has a HIGH water content, like hot chocolate made with water, you may have a great shot. I would suggest making hot chocolate with the hot water that it creates and THEN add a portion of milk afterwards, but DO NOT LEAVE iT UNATTENDED!

This isn't an insulated container - it's just metal. I don't think it will keep your kids' food warm, and I also think the size is a little small for a child's lunch. This might be OK if you are trying to keep food cold if you use it with an ice pack.I have some Thermos-brand containers that keep food hot for multiple hours for my children's lunches. They have a Thermos 10-ounce food container that keeps food hot for 5 hours, though there are many other brands. I would definitely look for an insulated container that's meant to keep food warm.

Yes!!!! I used these for freezing over 600 oz of breastmilk. I didn't store BM in them long term. Once the milk was frozen, I popped the cubes out and stored either in a vacuum sealed bag (highly recommend this for long term), or a zippy freezer bag. Then they were placed in a deep freeze and some stored for up to 5 months. I never had any problem with milk quality. The vacuum sealed bags make the cubes stick together a bit as they are pressed onto one another, especially when stored for a few months, but a quick smack on a counter top broke them up well.

I've only used it for pureed food so far. I wouldn't use it for breastmilk since the lid doesn't close air tight and some frost will get into the container.

I can answer the first two--yes, milk container stores well in fridge, and coffee temp is hot enough. Don't have a plus so don't know how the programming compares--you can adjust the volumes of coffee/espresso dispensed. Includes the machine, the milk jug, a sample pack of a few Nespresso pods, and an attachment for hot water in place of the milk jug.

Yes, it's totally okay. I put the bottle in a warmer where the water is hot. I don't know about the milk but the bottle itself is safe.
