Recommend me a commuter coffee solution

[Jaybee]

Assuming that the following is true:
1) office coffee is undrinkable dreck, so I’m making my own
2) I need it to stay hot for 30ish minutes of riding
3) my only really good travel mug (that will satisfy condition 2) is too narrow for a typical bottle cage


What is the combination of travel mug/thermos and bottle cage that will keep me happy and caffienated at work?

Maybe a Looney Bin would cinch down tight enough for my existing mug? Maybe there’s a great mug that fits a cage perfectly?

What are other commuters doing?

Make it at work. Aeropress or equivalent french press + electric kettle.

My 18oz yeti rambler fits my cage fine. Love the additional tops available for it....I got one of each type and they move nicely from the 64oz growler down to the 18oz rambler.

PDW just came out with this Hot Take holder that looks perfect for the job. Couple this with a nice mug and you're set.

I tried this once and earned a reputation as a pretentious snob. Maybe I should just lean into it.

This is super cool, and so is that magenta fade Igleheart bike, but this bike isn’t the best for handlebar mount.

What a cool creative solution. Whatever I do is going to continue to use freshly ground beans from the shop just down the street. I guess that reputation as a snob is justly earned.

Thanks for all the help. The Miir looks promising, as does the yeti 18oz.

Love or hate yeti they are the only double wall stainless where everything can go in the dishwasher.

Not hydroflask
Not swell bottle
Not corksickle
Not any of the Costco variants

Yeti for the commuter win

I use a Yeti for coffee that I need to stay hot for a long time. I'm not a fan of the price, I received mine as a gift.

It will keep coffee hot for hours.

That is your answer - Aeropress every time! Carrying decent coffee to work or making fresh, good coffee when there, in dry clothes, sitting at desk - this is an easy one to decide.

i am a full-on yeti convert, having tried most of the other popular insulated drinkware. i'm drinking coffee at home now out of a yeti mug.

for the cost of the drinkware, it's really not a big deal. it's pricey, yes, but the stuff will last forever, so it's a pretty small per use price IMO, especially if it's something you use a lot.

the travel mug will fit very securely in a standard king cage, and if your commute is reasonably smooth, leaks are minimum with this set-up.

Kleen Kanteen insulated wide mouth with their Cafe Cap is my go-to. Very well insulated-piping hot 3 hrs later-and leakproof.

Aeropress, electric kettle, hand grinder, 1/2 pound of beans picked up during lunch 1x per week for one cup in am / one cup in pm.

Embrace it!

This plus a Jetboil has changed my camping life.
