Does anyone use this to send milk to school for a child? Is the milk cold (safe to drink) after 3-4 hours?

I use it to transport my smoothies from home to work and by the time I open the container for lunch, the smoothie is still frozen hard. So I can imagine that milk will stay cold for lunchtime.

I think it would work great. My coffee stays very hot and my ice water has I've at the end of the day. The hook top seals the theos much tighter than than the one you can drink from.

We use this powder solely for tea. I am sorry, cant answer the first question. Never made any milk. But I am sure, it depends how thick you like your milk. We leave our can in the fridge. This big container once opened keeps fresh for over 6 mnths in fridge. My husband and I use about 2 tps for each cup of tea. So it lasts longer...definitely does not spoil if refrigerated. Hope I answered your question....glad to be of help.

It will more than likely stay cold, especially if you prechill the thermos with ice cold water or in the freezer and/or add ice to your milk. The issue that some people have brought up is the possibility of bacteria when milk is not kept at the appropriate temperature.Personally I have not kept straight milk in the thermos, but I have kept iced coffee with milk for over 10 hours and still drank it. I would, however, suggest that you look up information on milk before decided if there is risk doing such a thing, and what any risks may entail so that you do not end up ill.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

Do you mean that you want to leave milk in it all day? I wouldn't. It doesn't keep it hot or cold. And, as the previous poster says, it is very hard to clean and you will get mild solids in the lid that won't come out.

If you had ice packs in with the bags of milk, yes you could do two days. However without ice packs I wouldn't store milk in it for more than a few hours especially in hot temperatures.

Definitely. leak free. but pack with a cold pack because it's non insulated and the milk would sour otherwise. also the condensation might be frustrating but wrap in a paper towel in the lunchbox with a cold pack and you'll be good to go. chocolate milk tastes DELICIOUS in this thing.

I use it when I go to work trainings out of town, which results in about 12 hours away from home. The breast milk is still cool by the time I get home.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

I use an electronic digital one. I heat the milk in the microwave at 1 min intervals. It probably takes about 10 mins. But I haven't actually timed. I decrease the heating time as the temp nears 185.

It is not an insulated cup. Cold is fine, I'd think twice about hot, it could melt the plastic, or burn child's mouth coming out

Depends on your time frame and ambient temperature. It is not better or worse that other similar coolers on the market. If you are serious about keeping stuff frozen for more than a few hours you are going to need to pack with dry ice or invest in a freezer that can run off a car battery. For my purposes it keeps milk and meat cold for several days but I change put the ice every 48-72 hrs depending on how hot it is.

yes I think so. I've noticed that it is not as cool at around 7 -8 hours so I wouldn't push it much past 6 hours, especially with breast milk.

Ive never used it in cold milk...maybe if you whisked the snot out of it, it would take cold milk. Golden milk is the best way to take it, and tastes good:)

Milk lasts fresh for about 3 or 4 days as it is not as cold as a refrigerator. Make sure you rinse out the hose that connects to the coffee machine after each use ( it only takes a few seconds) otherwise it can go sour in the tube. If you are doing at least two milk drinks per day, milk should stay fresh until all used up. If you haven't used it for a couple of days, or if the milk level is low, check before use as it can turn sour.

I use this in my daughter's lunch box and nothing in there needs to stay really cold. She eats only a few hours after it is packed. I can tell you that it is not still cold when she gets home about eight hours later. If these were used with the lunch bags that go in the freezer (which don't even require a cold pack) I have no doubt that everything inside would remain cold all day!

It depends if your baby like the milk cold or warm. You can warm it up in hot water or bottle warmer.
