hot drink

[s7ephanie]

is there a water bottle thingy (bidon i think they are called) that keeps drinks hot, be nice to have a hot coffee instead of cold water on a ride !!

+1 for the Lifeventure flask. I got one for walking the dog and it keeps drinks piping hot for an hour or 2. Claims it can last 4 hours but yet to test that.

Any old thermos should do the trick!

I use the Fisher Price one we got to keep our Charlie's milk warm. He's long outgrown it but coffee or tea stays piping hot in there at least over the two hours it takes me to get to Liverpool

I have a flask/cup that doesn't leak and fits in a bottle cage.

I'll try and find a link.

It is like these but a more regular shape.

I bought A TACX one many moons ago, it kept stuff warm for about 30 mins.

Camelbak do one, looks ok but I am not sure how good it is: Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle

surely taking a flask negates the need to stop at a cafe' and no cafe' stop means no coffee and walnut cake

Tesco sell/sold a metal thermos that fitted a standard bottle cage. I am on my second as they do shake apart after a couple of winters use. This keeps my black coffee piping hot for long enough for me to be on my way home and heading for the kitchen kettle.

[QUOTE 2885795, member: 45"]I bought an insulated bidon once that was supposed to keep hot things hot. It worked for 20 minutes.

I've got one of these. Not sure whether it would fit/stay in a cage, but I keep it in an outside packet of my rucksack when cycling or in a pocket on my scooter when scooting. A few days ago I rode to work in freezing conditions (45 minutes) and put my bike in the cold shed when I got here. An hour or so later I remembered I'd left the mug in the shed and when I fetched it the coffee was still too hot to drink.[/quote]
We use something like that in the army, excellent piece of kit. I have one of these to go with it. http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/lifeventure-thermal-mug-jacket-p195269

We have both the Thermos Ultralite Graphite version 0.8L which is excellent at keeping drinks way too hot to drink for extended periods of time... (It is also exceptionally light) and the older Thermos Ultralite version in the 1L size as well which is also excellent at keeping drinks way too hot for 24 hours or more. Both fit into our water bottle holders, though the Ultralite Graphite verison fits much more easily than the older version.
Both have been taken on tours (the 1L on a 12 month tour) and are bomb proof (so far!)

Camelbak do one, looks ok but I am not sure how good it is: Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle

I'm not certain that the Chill bottle is one designed for keeping things warm - clue could be in the name. It does however stop water freezing in very cold weather well after other water bottles have frozen and it also does stop water getting as warm in the summer/hotter months as it does in other water bottles. I have one and they are excellent bottles.

Load of nonsense. I bought a thermos flask that promised to keep hot things hot and cold things cold.

I put an ice cream and hot coffee into it and it was disgusting!

Never been to Philistine, is it popular there?

Flasks keep hot things hot and cold things cold. How do they know?

Flasks keep hot things hot and cold things cold. How do they know?

there is a flask fairy who knows about these things and knows when you need a drink the most to make sure that the flask has a fairy visit to ensure you don't get what you are after!
