Do you drink your beverages like coffee in a cup or a thermos?

Thermos
Cup, glass, mug, insulated travel cup, thermos poured into the included cup...I'm a multi-drinker.

Actually there is a third choice I forgot to put on this poll, the bottle or carton that the beverage came in. 
That's one thing I never do.Actually there is a third choice I forgot to put on this poll, the bottle or carton that the beverage came in.
Do you mean when travelling or taking a drink to work? I'm not really understanding the question. If I take a hot drink in a thermos somewhere then I'd pour it into a mug or cup to drink it. I mean, I wouldn't (couldn't) drink it straight from the thermos flask as it would be almost impossible.
Another option - the hip flask!

Like TastyReuben, I will use whatever beverage container is most appropriate at the time. I also never drink straight from a can/bottle.

Are you to tell me that you never drink a Beer straight out of the bottle?
Nope. Never. Beer needs to breathe a bit.

If this were asked a year ago, it would have been a tough choice, since I've had most of my coffee in a thermos on my way to work. But, this has not been a consideration for me, since I haven't had to go further than my own couch since mid-March. Even before, I like the feel of the heat on the outside of the ceramic mug. I understand that this means that the heat is leaving the coffee, which doesn't happen as quickly in a thermos. But, it's a tactile feeling that enhances the coffee-drinking experience for me, particularly on a cold day.
Here's my hot drinks arsenal:
This one is my usual travel mug. It's one of those super-insulated things that keeps beverages hot for seven or eight hours. Yes, I have scalded the tastebuds off my tongue at 2PM, drinking hot tea that went in there at 7:30AM.
These are the household mugs, mostly gathered on travels:
And these are my proper thermoses. The big one is construction site suitable, the other one goes with us to concerts in the park, that sort of thing, and I have another one even smaller that is part of our picnic kit.

I sense a "Show Us Your Coffee Mugs / Tea Cups" thread coming!

I only have one cup of tea in the morning, in a mug. Mine has a chip in it, so my wife gets the good cup. I'm considerate like that.

And to keep in line with Morning Glory's post earlier:
Got that when I left home at 19, because I thought every sophisticated gentleman should have one. Well used and in need of some TLC.
Hey...look where it's from:
