This little set of points should help you out in most situations. - Use a thermal cup or mug for commuting or to keep it hot for short periods of time - Glass and stainless steel thermos style bottles barely effect coffee taste at all - French Press brewers (like Bodum) are not good for keeping coffee hot. They continue to brew and can produce very bitter coffee - Try to not use direct heat from an element or hotplate if possible - A sealed or closed container slows the loss of essential aromas that influence coffee flavour. - You get the best flavour from coffee that is kept at least 170F.

So as you get your next pot of coffee ready, think about how you are going to consume it. If you plan on having it right away, no problem. But if you are thinking about drinking it over a longer period of time, keep the points we made above in your mind. Plan out how you will keep it hot and tasting fresh. Only then start the brew.
