I put my coffee in a thermal carafe which sits in the kitchen sink padded with a towel.

IMO it depends on where you go (road/weather conditions) and how you drive. (mostly speed) Personal preference/experience determines that. That said, virtually ALL my ceramic/glass tableware no longer exists and has been replaced with more durable products. (plastic/metal)

Brand name of an outstanding thermal pitcher that keeps coffee hot better than any other?

yeah me too
i've been meaning to ask that same question
mine is good for a couple of hours , a good lunch box thermos is better than my carafe
i reheat my coffee in the MW by the mug/cup

I don't think it's necessary at all for you to clear off the counters before you drive off; indeed, in my experience, they're very effetively self-clearing while one travels! However, if you don't care to store your stuff randomly on the floor, then putting it away before departing is necessary.

Most things I just keep stored in cupboards, even when stopped for awhile. That makes putting away the few other things a good bit quicker. I will leave the odd dirty dish in the kitchen sink while en route and that has not been problematic thus far (beyond rattling around).
