I have no experience riding with Thermos-y bottle,s but I have a lot of experience riding with Thermos-y travel mugs, which seem like a relevant addition to this thread.
My go-to "riding around with hot coffee" mug is the OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug: Double-walled stainless steel, 14oz, silicone seals to prevent spillage, and a sealed plastic top where the sipping hole opens/closes by clicking a button. The mug fits perfectly into the handlebar-mounted mug holder rings that are readily available (the cheaper single-wall version of this mug was packaged by SOMA as the Morning Rush Coffee Mug/Bike Holder before everyone and his brother started selling the handlebar brackets; SOMA now limits themselves to just the mounting ring, which will clip into the common Cateye mounting clip). $20 full retail. http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-LiquiSeal-Travel-Stainless/dp/B0001YH1LG%3Fpsc%3D1%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0001YH1LG If you're doing something long-range enough to require brewing your own coffee, the Bodum line of 15oz French-press travel mugs also fit the common cup holders. The idea is, the mug is its own French press, with a filter/plunger. You brew in the mug, plunge the grounds to the bottom, then drink the coffee on top. The top doesn't have the slick locking mechanism that the OXO does, because the plunger takes up all the space. Both the plastic and stainless models are double-walled for insulation, but really: Why would you go on the road with plastic, when you could have steel? These run $20-$30, depending on the model. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abodum%20travel%20press The one key drawback I've found to the Bodum mugs is that the plunger shaft really isn't long enough to do a full extraction of the grounds, unless you've got a huge amount of grounds in it. The plastic top of the steel plunger fits under a flip-tab when you open up the sipping hole, so the shaft may have been shortened to accommodate that. I suppose that if I had a plastic mug instead of stainless, it would be easier to see if I had enough grounds to solve the problem. I've thought of having a machine shop make me a threaded shaft 1-2cm longer, to see if I get better results; the risk is poking out my eye. For grinding, Hario makes a variety of smaller packable manual grinders. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_0_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hario+coffee+grinder&sprefix=hair+coffee+grinder%2Caps%2C215&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ahario+coffee+grinder Peter "I'm a mess if I don't get that coffee in my system" Adler Berkeley, CA/USA On Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 9:00:03 AM UTC-8, john elliott wrote: > > I've never cooked with one of these bottles, but if I make a coffee and > fill my insulated bottle up to the top and seal it, I have good luck with > it being hot for a long time.
