Is this a Kleen kanteen thing or some other brand? Sounds like a good solution, so long as it’s not a frosty morning..

It's Klean Kanteen, they have separate lids and stuff on their online shop. Looks like they have two different metal lids, one with a bamboo cap on it.

Hydro Flask is the best brand of bottles, in my opinion. Double-walled stainless steel, the vacuum between the walls keeps your water at temperature for hours (hot or cold), and the double-walls also means no condensation. Also means the outside of the bottle stays at room temperature no matter the temperature of the water inside.
