I came across a nice little spot in a park about a hour and half ride
from my house to sit and read. I was wondering if anyone has a good
suggestion for a thermos to buy to carry some hot coffee to the spot. I
use panniers so I would place the thermos in them. I remember in grade
school my lunch box came with a thermos, and we had to place our lunch
boxes in a closet with one person responsible for placing them in
there, and then distributing them at lunch time. I do not remember how
many times I would hear little pieces of glass making noices inside the
thermos because the kid dropped my lunch box. My mother would always be
mad.So is there a type that will take a few bumps and bruises? Also do
places that sell coffee have prices to fill your thermos.

Thanks

Tom

Small resealable gas cannisters and burners are cheap, easy to carry and
use, so why would you still want a thermos? Fresh and piping hot wins hands
down.

The days of glass-lined vacuum bottles are long gone.

I use the "Nissan Leak-Proof BackPack Bottle," Model JMW-500 (third one down
on this page, but shop around for pricing):

It fits in a bottle cage, it really is leakproof, you don't have to detach
anything to use it, it has a safety clip to keep the cap on if you put it in
your pannier, and it keeps my coffee drinkably hot for 6+ hours.

At Starbucks, it's a Venti.

Some (quite a few) years ago there was a water bottle made to fit
cycle bottle cages that had about 1/2 inch of foam insulation; they
worked tolerably well, and were a good enough idea that even if that
particular version is no longer available, you might well find
something similar.

A glass vacuum flask is probably a bad idea - obvious breakage
possiblity; a stainless-steel one might do - they are light enough
that the heat-keeping quality would be worth it.

I disagree. I have a few different thermos, and one thing called and air
pot, that keep things really hot for a long time. For cyclocross races I
learned not to make the hot chocolate really hot because it was too hot to
drink hours later. I can't imagine a situation for a single day even that I
would need a burner.

Stanley thermoses have a stainless steel liner.

I have a relatively narrow, stainless-steel thermal mug with a screw-top
that fits in the bottle cage. I put hot darjeeling with honey in there for
winter rides.

You can get an all stainless steel thermos. It won't break, but it's
heavy. I have one and it keeps coffee hot for a long time. They come
in pint and quart sizes.

I think there are plastic thermos on the market, but I don't know how
well they work. Try some place that sells for grade school kids- I'll
bet they don't have those tinkle-tinkle ones any more!

And they fit well in the side pockets on backpacks. They are fairly
durable. I have had mine fly out of my pack while comuting and the
coffee stays hot for a long time.

MMMM, cup of joe sounds good right now....

Shiny. If my route had more sections where I was just cruising along
and could take a sip I'd definitely buy it.
