I have a small ss flask from wilkinsons. To stop it rattling in the cage I put it in a sock.

Pffft!, 500ml?? You're obviously not in the building trade! 500ml wouldn't see me past 8.30am

Some good responses, thanks.
I'm not going to put it in a sock but as for the bottle, the design of my king cage iris holders should prevent rattles i hope

I use a flask from life adventure. I would say that it keeps things warm for an hour or two if you put in everything warm... I put in quite a bit of milk so it cools down quicker but still keeps it warm long enough for me to drink it.
I keep mine in the pannier because of rattling, and also because I think it keeps it warmer.

I like the look and sound of these. Does anyone own one? They look a great solution for the bike, the car and standing on cold terraces watching the football throughout the winter! The problem I've had with normal thermo cups is that the plastic flavours the drink, spillages and it gets cold too quick. This seems to combat the last 2 issues at least.

I use velcro straps like these on my metal holders to stop rattles, no need for a sock!

To be honest..... no.
My niece posted a thing on FB the other day about using plastic bottles for art. I shared it, then Chilly bottles popped up.
Grace is getting one for her birthday in January.

This is the one, the only one.View attachment 154256 I use this out on the bike.
Fits perfectly into the bottle cage
Made by a company called Grunwerg, bought mine locally but saw similar on Amazon.
It went "a bit funny" after I put it in the dishwasher but still works ok.
Kathmandu used to sell it, and it is still on their australian site, but I can't find it on the UK site anymore. Glad to see it is still out there. Not sure how long it keeps things warm, but I have never had a cold coffee out of it, and a barista once said "I've made it extra hot to keep it warm", and I couldn't drink it for hours. It's better than the Lifeventure one (I have one of them, too) as when you take off the waterproof cap, there is a normal thermal coffee mug sippy lid inside, so no risk of spilling and it doesn't chill down as while you are drinking.
Just checked, it would rattle in my bottle cage, but i just use the carabiner to attach it to my saddle bag. probably only applies with a carradice though.

After careful consideration I splashed out on a 500ml stainless steel thermos from 24bottles. I'm happy to report it's rattle-free without the need for a sock (which I'll keep for other uses, ahem).
It's changed my life (a little bit).
It keeps my coffee hot for a good six hours even exposed to these cold days in a bottle cage and doesn't retain any smell or taste when I change the liquid for tea. It cost £18.

I bought one of the 500ml Chilly Bottles last week and used it for the first time over the weekend. Old before my time, I took some tea along to the footie on Saturday afternoon. I don't know about 12 hours, but it was burning the bake off me a few hours down the line and still tasted like tea, unlike other flasks/bottles. To my shame, I haven't managed to bring it with me on the bike this week yet so don't know how tightly it'll sit in the cage.

That might 'just' keep up with my caffeine intake. I was a bit concerned by he original post talking about 500ml per day - between meetings more like.
