At my job it can get pretty cold so it loses heat faster. Works perfectly for my situation.

They were both left open? Does one have a larger opening than the other? Is one wider than the other?

They were left open before the test started so they both had the same ambient internal temperature is what I understood.

The zuri has a smaller opening and a smaller top surface area as well as its taller and not as wide.

I assume all of that plays apart with why zuri is BY FAR the best at retaining heat. The heat basically only escapes from the top and zuri has the least amount of liquid exposed. Also their lids are way more robust and thicker than everything else.

My Zuri I can put tea in it at about 4:45am and at 5:30-6pm its still very nice to drink.

I had to buy worse ones if i wanted to drink them on the way to work or around the house because even leaving the lid open wasn't good enough to have them cool off fast enough to a drinkable temp.

I have one. I make my coffee strong and put an ice cube in it to get it down to just above drinking temp. It's perfect. If I don't do that. I have to leave the thing open for an hour or so before I can drink it.

Hahaha. Yes- I agree. I don’t dare try to drink the coffee on the drive anymore! I’ll be swearing and might spit it out all over the wheel to save my tongue. Rofl!!

I read that as 5:30- 6 AM and was thinking how hot do you need to have your teas to be drinkable.
