I understand the social gathering concept, but I have never once had a hankering for coffee on a ride. My wife sometimes takes a Zogirushi full of a hot beverage. (Google it: 2 hours later you can still burn your lips!) When I get done with a long hard ride, or even if I am in the middle of a nice stroll, I want me a *** **** beer. A good one. Made by a local guy named Hans or maybe Frank. And it better not be ice cold either. They make good beers in cans now, but I prefer a bottle in front of me...
Full disclosure as cool as this flask is I have yet to actually use it, on a bike. I did take it on a few trips with my reserve unit and it was great for sneaking a few sips on the crew bus after they started cracking down on drinking on the bus, post mission of course.
I did once take a huge water bottle full of ice and healthy shot of good bourbon on e midnight birthday ride, it was great until I realized if anything happened I might have DUI issues.
I seldom stop for anything but water riding solo but in a group a stop for good cup of iced coffee and good salt bagel dripping with cream cheese is always good eats.
