I also live in the city, like camping & cooking, so I'll just give you some things I'd like (~sorted by price):
I too really like Klean Kanteen I use it almost exclusively to drink coffee both at home and on the go. Be aware though that the KleanKanteen lids are not leak proof at all! The lid which will keep your coffee very hot leaks like crazy and is not at all practical for say driving. As far as the stainless steel imparting flavor... That is an issue I am constantly monitoring. When I brew a pour-over I immediately transfer the entire yield to the KleenKanteen. I pour a splash into an ice chilled ceramic LINO 5 oz. Cappuccino Cup & Saucer by notNeutral and another splash into a 2nd preheated Lino.
There is definitely a shift in mouth feel between drinking from a ceramic cup and stainless steel but I have yet to detect a flavor shift. Perhaps my palette is calibrated for stainless. I definitely take the lid completely off to drink as yes the plastic lid is not satisfying to drink through. For me drinking my coffee exclusively from a ceramic cup forces me to drink too quickly. I enjoy tracking the flavor changes in each brew from hot to chilled at a slow controlled pace. Having the option to speed up or slow down the cooling by removing/replacing lid on KleanKanteen is invaluable. I sometimes pour out more coffee into Lino too if I detect flavor changes at other temperatures as well. There are indeed real sensory experience changes between stainless steel and ceramic but not true flavor shifts. But I fully realize everyone has there own sensitivities. I am also meticulous in cleaning the stainless steel. The lid could well be the biggest culprit in imparting unwanted flavor in all brands of Stainless Steel containers.
~£65 for the Hydro Flask or ~£16 for Klean Kanteen.
Totally non traditional, but I love my kleen kanteen pint glass. It's insulated stainless steel, which means no coaster needed and it stays cold and fizzy for an extremely long time.
Thanks, those look really nice. I guess I'm really looking for a tumbler, this and this one looks like it would fit the bill.
Keep in mind, though that I am stuck in the valve or a worn oring. shrug. I too really like Klean Kanteen I use it for a lighter coffee that includes a variety of different types out there (blade, burr, hand).
When I moved out for the first time I went and spent a stupid amount of money at IKEA.... they are NOT BIFL at all. expecially not cookware/plates/glasses. i bought those and within 1 year everything almost broke.. not from me dropping them. but like 2 glasses actually broke in mine and my girlfriends hands when we were holding them! and 2 broke when we were washing them. with that being said..
Dont buy alot of stuff from ikea (some things are OK like the cheap partical board dressers and bed frames you will get a few years out of them if u take care of it but not bifl)
As far as where to invest FIRST think about where you are going to be spending the most time in your house. will it be your bedroom? living room with guests or kitchen if You like to cook or man cave (this is me) and invest in quality items in the location you pick. dont buy everything at once unless you HAVE to. you will wind up wasting money on things u don't need or might want to change
Now that my rant is out of the way....
