Michael,

Some of it likely depends on what bottle and cafe you're using. I find
a springy metal cage with a large diameter bottle holds more securely
(though also give resistance takin out and putting in).

Something like a VO modernist or retro

Hope that helps. You can get them places other than VO that's just the
one page I know has pictures...
