Help: Need bottle for my coffee

[John Doe]

Hi all,

I was doing a bit of reading on the

http://www.bicyclecoffeesystems.com

I want to get coffee'd up for my commute. I got sick for a little while and started to drive to work
for about 1 month with a borrowed car (shock horror). Then I got lazy and kept driving for another 2
(even bigger shock horror). Anyway I got a bit used to having my commuter mug (not leak proof just
spill proof) full of a hot Beveridge of my choice.

I remember reading the coffee threads a while back. I did a bit of looking on this web site and come
to the opinion I wanted

Megaslim 2-in-1 Sportpak Vacuum Bottle Profile Bottle Cage

The thing is I cannot source these items in Aust. Has anyone setup their bikes to carry this
sort of item.

BTW Please dont reply if you are going to start sprouting stuff about coffee being bad. Just pretend
I enjoy drinking hot water.

Cheers Pete

I just got myself a SALEWA Thermo-Star Lite small thermos from the local camping/adventure
specialist. a perfect fit in a beer stubby holder which in turn fits the bottle cage. Holds
about one mug.

Man, you shouldn't be drinking coffee if you are a cyclist. Experts agree that it can cause font
abuse, excessive nicknaming, and over-application of Australian slang - just look at this for a
sad example:

. Well I got up this morning for my commute and it was damn freezing. I
have to catch the train for an hour after my 1 hour ride and I would love to be able to sit back and
suck on a nice hot tea.

Why not just chuck a thermos in your pannier/backpack/courier bag/etc?
From what you say, it's not like you need to whip it out on the road.

I guess. But I dont really carry a bag as such. Just a tiny pack strapped to my pannier rack that
only really has room for wallet keys etc. You are right. But I do also go on long weekend rides of
100k+ so it would be cool to slurp on coffee in motion. Your suggestion might get me out of
immediate trouble.

I bought a $19 large bottle holder from Dean Woods and a $15 1 ltre stainless vacuum flask from
Kmart which fits it nicely. Should solve all coffee desperates needs.

Cheap and effective.

Something must have went wrong with your news feed. I was replying to a person with a
specific flask.

Hi:

That's my web site.

Too bad Campmor doesn't ship overseas.

The other good system is the Aladdin 4 in 1 which you may be able to order from the UK.

I'd personally advise the JSB-500 or JSB-700 with a Profile Cage, but I don't know if either of
these items are available in Australia.

I've been using my JSB-500 and 700 a lot this summer. On hot days I use it for iced coffee.

That's my web site.

Cool site. Have you looked into setting up a commercial site with all your different ideas?

I guess I could get some mates in the US to buy it for me and send it over. Its just that on your
web site you give the model 5 stars and the JSB's 4. Although the 700ml one looks good. The thing is
I need it to stay hot for a long time - ie to make it the night before. I get out of bed around
4:30am and the idea of getting up earlier to make coffee is a little bit disheartening . I ride
21km;s to the train then sit on a train for 45 mins. (Yes I live a ways from work).

Using hot milk as well as hot water these flasks have kept coffee hot from early morning to
reasonably late in the afternoon.
