How long does coffee stay hot in a flask for a meeting?
Coffee in a flask stays hot for 6 hours, even 8 hours after delivery: what time to have it delivered, when to set it up, and what to do for a full day.
Coffee in a flask stays hot for 6 hours, even 8 hours after delivery. At L'Écrin Traiteur, the one-litre organic coffee flask is prepared the same morning and packed in an insulated flask: you can set it up before the meeting, with no reheating or monitoring. Tea in a flask stays hot for several hours.
Until what time does coffee stay hot?
| Delivery | Coffee hot until | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 6:30 am | 12:30 to 2:30 pm | A welcome before 9 am and the whole morning |
| 7:30 am | 1:30 to 3:30 pm | An office breakfast, the morning and lunch |
| 8:30 am | 2:30 to 4:30 pm | A meeting from 9 am to 2 pm |
| 11:30 am | 5:30 to 7:30 pm | A lunch and an afternoon meeting |
The end times are 6 to 8 hours after the delivery time. They hold as long as the flask is not opened more than necessary.
What time should it be delivered?
Delivery starts at 6:30 am in Paris and Île-de-France. For a 9 am meeting, have it delivered around 8 am: the coffee is hot when participants arrive and stays so until early afternoon. For a welcome breakfast, delivery at 7:30 am covers the welcome, the morning meeting and the start of the break.
And for a full day?
Beyond 6 to 8 hours, coffee cools. For a full-day seminar, state the schedule (morning and afternoon) in your quote request. For an afternoon break, see our afternoon breaks.
How many flasks should you plan?
Allow 1 one-litre flask for 6 people, which is 4 for 20 people (3 of coffee, 1 of tea) and 9 for 50: the detail is in how many flasks for 10, 20, 50 or 100 people. A flask costs €19.50 excl. VAT, the same for coffee and for tea.
