Our milkman comes at about 2am and the front door faces East. Since it turned warm the milk feels distinctly warm by the time I bring it in at about 7am.

The milkman sells a little cooler thing but it only holds 2 bottles and is ugly. We need something that can hold up to six.

I don't mind paying a bit for something nice that does the job m, although the vintage ones on Etsy at hundreds, probably not.

What do you use?

I pay my chimney sweep to fan it with his brushes until I get up.

We have one, bought it from Etsy, cost more to ship from the States than the box itself cost. I grew up in America and we had one of these on our doorstep there so it was an element of nostalgia for me.

You can get modern ones new

Milk and More sell a four bottle one, but I couldn’t find anything else though I looked for ages as I wanted a larger one. There’s lots of decorative ones, but very few insulated.

I have one of those but I was just going to buy a cheap cool box.

We have the 4 bottle one from milk & more. They used to do a 6 bottle one which was much dearer but I think they've stopped it.

I have just bought the Milk and More one. It is fine but if you have more than 4 bottles it won’t be bug enough. An insulated cool box with an ice pack in would be perfect. Wish I’d thought of that.

I have a beer cooler! I put a cool block from the freezer in it when I'm going to bed. It sits in the corner beside the porch in the shade. Handy for deliveries when I miss the postman too.

We use our food waste bin, line it with ice blocks. We don't use it for food waste.

We use our camping cool box, it lives behind the front door in between delivery days.
