hot coffee

Obvious idea: wrap it in an insulator? A bendy sheet of foam, perhaps? (Test it with hot water first to make sure it doesn't melt or something.)

Wrap it in a towel - a makeshift tea caddy.

well i would suggest you pour some hot water into your press first to warm the press then pour out the hot water just before brewing,that's should be better

you may try use a fast-reacting thermometer to see what's the temp of the glass, it should be very high, mine is around 50'C well, you can also see how fast does the temperature of hot water drop in your press, try to maintain it around 92-94'C in most of the brewing time

The Bodum Columbia may do the job :-

Your best bet is to pour the coffee out of the press into a thermos right after brewing. Even after you push down the filter screen, the coffee is still in contact with the grounds at the bottom and will continue to extract. Eventually, it may get bitter. Pouring it into an insulated thermos will keep it hot for quite some time and will prevent any bitterness.

Of course, the solution in our office is just to drink it faster ;-)

This is a great suggestion! When I used to make a pot of coffee in the morning, and take it to work in a thermos, I had pretty fresh-tasting coffee for much of the day. It was certainly better than coffee that had been on the warmer for an hour or more!!!!
