There are plenty of ways to keep a cup of coffee hot when you’re on the go. Put it in a mug or an insulated cup and you have hot to warm coffee for the next few hours. But eventually you’re going to finish that one, so what happens when you’re at the camp or job site and you need another cup? You need a coffee thermos. There are plenty of vacuum mugs and bottles out there, but the one that works best depends on you. Are you sharing with a friend? Do you want to pack it in a bag? Do you need a 1/2 pot or full pot? No matter how much caffeine you need, there’s a thermos out there for you.
