For coffee, not booze! Size I'm looking for is around 300mls with a screw cap. I don't like luke-warm coffee so it has to do its job!

As always, thanks. 🙂

The smaller the volume of the flask, the more difficult it is for it to keep drinks hot. (something to do with the ratio between total heat of the drink versus the surface area of the container).

Might actually be better to waste a bit of drink and go for something larger?

Thanks Rachel. The one I've been using isn't bad but not up to the standard of my larger bling one. However, it needs to fit into a waist pack hence size is important.

Sports direct, little karrimor thing for £6 will do the job nicely!

Hi cinnamon girl, I can fully recommend a thermos by a company called Alfi.Hopefully they're available in UK, as I got mine here in Germany. What's better still is that there also a specific bottle holder, in a tough plastic. I've tried the Elite ones, and after around half an hour it was almost cold! German winter cycling isn't as mild as in the UK either...The Alfi one is stilling piping hot, even after 2 hours riding. Just have to be careful, not to burn your tongue as the spout is like a jet...so the screw top help there too. Check it out....!

My little Tesco one must be around 7 years old. Can't really justify £35 on an Alfi!

Thanks for all the suggestions. 8)

If you want one of them there lifeventures, drop me an email, and I'll send you one 30% off retail. I work in a shop but not advertising which one, due to forum rules.
