The reviews on Amazon lead me to believe it is a good bottle for keeping coffee hot on my ride in. I make the coffee at home, and have been using one of those 7-Eleven refillable cups, but I get to work and it is only luke warm at best, and there is enough leakage around the spout that it makes a mess of my lower seat tube and chain stays. My question is; will this thing fit a bottle cage? The amazon reviews all speak well of its insulation, but none mention using it on a bike.
Contigo anyone?

Stainless steel, double walled vacuum bottle. It is MADE for coffee - spill proof. It is the only thing I can use on my 2+ hour winter commutes. Tested this winter on the coldest day in 20 yrs - 2.75 hour ride in -14°F temps - my tea was not hot after 2.5 hrs, but it was still liquid, and probably above room temp. These are great mugs, for biking and/or anything else. A coffee drinkers best friend.
Edit: it fits great in any waterbottle cage, without rattling.
Edit 2: Costco usually seems to have them in stock.
