Also, drinking coffee makes me sweat more unless it's really cold out. When I carry coffee in my Bubba Bottle, I usually arrive at work with a nearly full bottle, so it's hardly worth the extra weight. Most of the time, I drink a couple of cups at home and then a couple more once I get to work.
My MO is ride to the train station and hit a 7-Eleven on the way for a fill up. Drink it in the train. From train to work there is a Starbucks along the way. Refill, then drink at work. I like the idea of the screw cap because I can think of all kinds of reasons that drinking
hot coffee
while riding could be a bad idea. I would like to make it at home, ride all the way to the train, skipping the 7-Eleven, and still have the coffee be hot when I get there.
This will not do it.
And it only fits the bottle cage OK.
EDIT. What I currently do is put skim milk in the cup at home, since 7-Eleven only has milk/cream-like substances. (Some have real whole milk, but not the one I pass on the way in.)
