The Paper Cup Manufactured using GANA JBZ A-12 Paper Cup Manufacturing Machine will not keep water as hot the water kept in a glass cup.This is because the paper with loycoated has less capacity to hold the water or the liquid hot.It may start leaking after a point once the water gets chilled

It depends on the material of the cup. Insulators or poor conductors heat transfer heat slower than good conductors of heat. It is a common misconception of people to think that metals can retain heat for a longer period of time. They would think that the metals, after being heated up, have the heat and passes it back to the water. However, it does not work this way. So, non-disposable cups are usually made of glass or porcelain. This types of materials generally are poor conductors of heat, so they can retain the heat of the water for a longer time.

Non-disposable cups are usually made of Styrofoam or plastic. Although these are also poor conductors of heat, they are cheaper and thinner, so they allow heat to pass through more easily.

So, the answer is yes, non disposable cups keep water hotter than disposable ones.

Oh yeah, one more point to consider, the heat can escape from the top, the surface of the water, into the air. So, if the area of one cup is maybe 30 cm2, while the other cup is 5 cm2, obviously the one that is 30 cm2 will cool down more quickly, and the water level will decrease too, because exposed surface area affects the rate of evaporation.
