I'm going to look into adjustable water bottle holders, with hopes I can fit my current thermos into one before I buy a new one.

Of course not, but that can get expensive if you're stopping everyday - sometimes twice a day.

25 miles in the morning might be a different story; that might be an hour and a half or more. I'd probably find some kind of insulated water bottle.
My 25 mile commute takes me just under 1:40 to ride or 30 minutes to drive. I usually have two cups with my breakfast before I leave the house, half a mug/thermos on the road, the other half at work, then if there's coffee brewed in the break room at lunch time I have another cup or two in the afternoon. On my return trip I stick with water. I haven't had a problem (knock on wood) drinking my coffee while riding my bike, I don't drink when going up a hill or around lots of traffic. Red lights seem to be a perfect opportunity to sip some coffee especially now that I'm using a thermos with a removable top.
