Cafetierre for me. I just slosh it down the sink when I’m done.
I’m not a fan of the waste, but also have nespresso pods in my desk/bag as the machines are pretty ubiquitous and it’s quick if I’ve cycled in on a rainy day and have t rush into a meeting.
The client side team have a full V60 setup with grinder, scales, thermostat controlled kettle etc. And one of them brings in 3 big flasks every day of cardamon coffee, it’s like espresso strength coffee with notes of pilau rice and black treacle.
Am I missing the point here?
The OP’s question was not about making the coffee, but rather about transporting an already made coffee.
The question should be ‘How long does a coffee keep before it becomes stale?’
I prefer to drink my coffee as ‘freshly made’, not what it will taste like in 1 hour or so.
Am I wide of the target?
I think the OP want’s coffee at work, and most people agree with you that bringing it in from home is not the optimal solution.
I always fancied one of these cup-holders, or maybe that’s just the romantic ideal of riding the bike into work in a nice modern town center office allong a smooth segregated cycle path past a favorite coffee shop and stopping for a latte and croissant to go. Rather than the reality of riding in a hurry down twisty potholed roads in the rain to an office on the outskirts of a provincial town with no nearby services.
