as you say, the commercial stuff is expensive, but re-using the bottles from them is practical.

As I am making these early in the morning, my method is rather simpler. I've no doubt your method produces great results, but it's too complicated for me. Here's what I do for a 9.5 ounce bottle:

Fill the bottle about half full of coffee. Actually a bit more, up to the "shoulder" of the bottle. We make our coffee strong. Then stir in about 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Then add about 1 teaspoon or less of half and half, then fill the bottle with milk (at our house is usually 2%). Then into the lunch bag with an ice pack. I think he drinks it over ice at work, or sometimes just straight from the bottle.
