Typically, I bring the city bike with panniers once a week to stock up. Daily I'd bring coffee and smaller items in my Chrome Citizen bag using a small insulated lunch bag to keep the yogurt from getting hot on those July mornings, or freezing on those January mornings. My commute was ~10 miles one-way.
