I am stupefied at how nice this mug is. It keeps things hot far longer then expected around camp and gives the same benefit to morning coffee at home. The only two down sides - you need to fashion your own lid - and something about the surface fizzes beer.

this thing is perfect. a nice big mug like I like, titanium, double wall insulation, snow peak quality, and it fits inside my trek 900 cookset like a glove. sure it's expensive.... but you should only have to buy it once.

This cup holds any beverage at a piping hot temperature. The 600 is quite large, so I got the 450 model. It is extremely lightweight and durable - put it anywhere in your pack and it will survive without a dent. One warning- it is such a great insulator, the outside of the cup will be cold, but the liquid will burn your mouth.

I bought this cup for ultralight camping and it's my cooking pot/ cup. I made markings at the half cup levels and it makes a great cup or pot. It is more than twice as sturdy as a single wall cup.

I used the double-wall model on Denali in sub-zero temperatures; it kept my food and drinks warm and cleaned up easily.

Love the double wall insulation that keeps your beverage hot while your hands don't get fried. This larger size is convenient as I also use it for freeze dried dinner prep and serving as well. And it weighs almost nothing!! Wish they made a sipping lid like they do for the smaller sizes. And be aware: because of the double wall construction it is NOT suitable for cooking directly on the stove!! If you want that functionality Snow Peak makes a titanium 700ml single wall that might do the job.

I wanted a cup that would double as a bowl but still, I was concerned the larger cup would be too big. Not so. This thing is amazing. I agonized for a long time over whether I should get it, especially after several "You're going to spend HOW much on a cup???" encounters. As other reviewers have said, it's money well spent. The initial pain is worth it because:

1.) It's lightweight (70 pound packs are so last year)
2.) It keeps things warm (you may even burn your tongue!)
3.) It's versatile (is it a cup or bowl? cup or bowl? Oh cool, I can stash stuff inside it too! Cup, bowl or suitcase??)

Basically, it's the perfect cup. I use it for tea (didn't notice any metal mouth flavor) and food.

There's nothing about this mug I don't love! I'm cranky without sufficient coffee and we all know that no one likes a cranky camper.This mug is large enough to treat me well all day. Its' insulating abilities are top notch and the Tupperware protein shaker top fits nice and snug, making it the perfect travel companion. It doesnt get much better than that!
