I'm a bi-containers-ual when it comes to this topic.

I knew a guy who became obsessed with coffee at some point and he invested in this pretty damn awesome thermos that claimed to keep coffee hot for 12 hours. We tested it. Got up in the morning, poured coffee in it, set a timer. It did what it claimed to do. I was impressed. It wasn't a very pretty thermos, but it worked!

Mug.

Unless I'm out an about on the town, then it's this:

Both...if I'm at home or somewhere that I won't be moving around then a mug is my preference. If I'm in my car then a thermos is preferred.

used to love drinking green tea out of these when I was in China



coffee upsets my stomach unfortunately so I have to be careful how much I drink.

Mug. Who do you think you are, a construction worker??

12/28/2010 10:15:11 AM

Mug. I'm trying to drink it on the way to work; not at lunchtime.

12/28/2010 11:07:57 AM

This is the one I use if I'm driving to work

12/28/2010 11:12:23 AM

Mug. Travel mug if on the go.

12/28/2010 11:13:56 AM

^^ see, that's awesome and i would totally get that thermos

but it raises another question - clearly there is a quality difference inherent in mugs. does it matter??

12/28/2010 11:17:20 AM

Generally metal thermos are better imo. Something like this

12/28/2010 11:21:28 AM

Oh yeah, the tervis tumbler isn't gonna keep it hot forever, but I don't generally keep mine around that long.

12/28/2010 11:23:47 AM

are you kidding me? that'll barely hold a few drops

12/28/2010 11:24:19 AM

Mugggggggggggggggs

12/28/2010 11:52:21 AM

so i bought a nice thermos this weekend, tried it out this morning at work

it's about 1/4" too tall to fit in the keurig

keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.

1/3/2011 9:28:12 AM

plain metal thermos here

I switched over from drinking Rockstar energy drinks to one thermos of coffee a day. I think I'm immune to caffeine at this point in my life

1/3/2011 9:33:32 AM

how do you feel if you don't drink any?

1/3/2011 9:35:45 AM

Bttt. I got a growler from costco, don’t hate it, but just not keeping things hot for long enough.

What is the best of the best? Want at least 30oz, would prefer closer to 64oz

I was super excited when I saw a response to the thread and it was you.

Drink faster. I merck a 20 oz. Yeti tumbler on the way to work and then fill up at the communal coffee pot.
side note: I drink iced coffee 80% of the time, so my interest in the specific energy of a cup of coffee is pretty low.

5/5/2021 10:59:32 PM

I don't drink coffee. Sorry, but I can't help!

5/6/2021 7:12:00 AM

how often do yall wash your mug/thermos? i rinse mine everyday and dishwasher once a week but a damn film builds up over time then i get mad and clorox it off

5/6/2021 8:22:27 AM

I wash after each use and grab a different mug/thermos the next day. No film.

5/6/2021 10:14:12 AM

I rinse my metal thermos out after each time I use it, and once it starts looking grimy enough (every few months), I'll scrub the heck out of it to get it all shiny and new again

I’d like to have 1-2 cups in morning and maybe another around 11am, and maybe a final cup around 2 or so
