I drink my coffee during my morning commute, usually 45-60 mins long. Nearly every travel mug I have is insulated so well that its still scalding hot an hour after I arrive, so I have been using a plastic travel mug instead. This work, it cools to a drinkable temperature after about 10 minutes, but I can taste the plastic. Something is leeching into my coffee and it gets astringent during the last half. Awful. I need something new. Most mugs advertise they keep it hot for 6 hours! I dont want to wait 6 hours to drink my damn coffee!! /rant

Anyone else have this problem and good suggestions? I'm all ears. Thanks!

I hear you about finding just the right answer, but is it an option to use a random stainless insulated mug and then leave the top off, until it's the right temp?

Roads are rough until I hit the highway, its a good way to get coffee splashed around. I have performed the sacrilege of dropping ice cubes in it, and sometimes I will pop the top off when I get to the smoother roads.
