BikeBuddy! That was it!

Thanks. I'll also look at the other one.

I've used the bike buddy on my 2 overseas tours.
I have a 2 litre Sigma bottle within an insulated pouch.
I can just about squeeze it in on maximum settings.
A nice piece of kit but a bit fiddly to set up.
But then that kinds makes it all the better.

I'm with you Anto, tea and coffee out of a flask is disgusting. I sometimes use Lift lemon tea (powder in a little tub) and a flask full of hot water.
That blackburn cage is an interesting idea. I wonder if I could adapt an ordinary bottle cage and add a couple of straps mmmm

I am very happy with the bottle cages sold by SJS except for the fact that, although they can accommodate a Burgandy size bottle, they are too small for a Champagne bottle.

That blackburn cage is an interesting idea.

I sure thought so, but promptly broke 3 of them at the weld joins within one ride on logging roads. Mine may have been the exception, as all the broken welds were only tacked on one side, so incomplete. Promptly warrantied by the dealer, but would have been inconvenient on a longer ride.

Took care to make sure the bottle fit the contours and to keep the straps reasonably tight. Nicely finished and a versatile design; I may give them another go but will test first.

Best,

Dan.

don't like tea or coffee out of a flask tastes horrible .
sure if you gonna have something hot on a ride take the stove  way better .
many a time i brewed up on a long spin class.

Does it actually taste horrible (i.e. does the flask actually taint the flavour of the coffee)?
Or is it the unpleasant drinking experience of drinking out of a less-than-ideal container?
I.e. could you take a small [coffee] cup into which to decant the flask-contained coffee for a better coffee drinking experience?
Or do you really appreciate the freshly brewed coffee taste?
