    I was really fond of the plastic gimbaled coffee cup holder I got
    from West Marine, or somewhere. It would hold a 2/3 full coffee mug
    (just a regular lidless mug) without spilling a drop over the
    roughest terrain and roads. It finally fell apart, and I haven't
    found one as nice as it was.
