I have a Zefal Isotherm. I haven't tried it with hot beverages yet, and it isn't the going to keep your coffee hot for very long, but it is easy to find (Nashbar stocks it). More info on coffee while riding than you ever wanted to know can be found here:

Here's their review of the Zefal:

Zefal Isotherm
Zefal manufactures an insulated 16 ounce plastic thermal bottle called the Isotherm. It works like a standard water bottle, so you can drink and drive; but it will keep coffee hot for only about 45 minutes. It's a good choice if you're going to finish your coffee soon after you begin your ride.
