SPACE SAVER MUG HARD ANODIZED

First, I love this little mug. The perfect option for day hikes and over-nighters. I use it with a little homemade alcohol stove, and the whole kit (mug, stove, stand, 2 oz alcohol, cup/lid, spork) weighs a measly 10 oz.No complaints with the fit and finish. On mine, the rivets are smooth enough inside, very much on par with any other aluminum pot I have. Sure, the measuring demarcations should be inside-facing, but I'm bright enough to read backwards.The main reason for this post is to comment on lid and handle options.The Sea to Summit X Mug ( Sea to Summit X-Mug ) fits perfectly as a lid. Snaps on tightly and securely. Thus it serves dual duty: makes for a secure lid, and doubles as an ample cup. It fits so securely that I don't think twice about loading up the mug with the above-mentioned cooking supplies; nothing's going to spill out in my pack.The handles do get hot with my alcohol stove (because the flames wrap ever so slightly around the bottom). So following others' advice, I put some silicone tubing around the "grip" portion of the handles ( Du-Bro 223 1/8" x 2' Large Super Blue Silicone Tubing ). Note that others suggest the Du-Bro 3/32". But the Du-Bro 1/8" is actually a better fit. The inside diameter is ever so slightly smaller than the handle diameter, making for a good, secure fit. But it still slides on easily with a little bit of dish soap inside the tube. I just let a couple of drops of dish soap run their course through the tube to coat the inside walls, then worked it over the handles.I'll try to post a pic of my configuration.Fabulous combination. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

I liked the idea of this thing to begin with, but I have to give a hat tip to Jim, with a review that will rightfully appear above mine.The only thing I really have to add is pictures. He pointed out that the  Sea to Summit X Mug (Red)  makes a perfect lid for this thing. Also, some  White SiliconeTubing, 1/8"ID, 3/16"OD, 1/32" Wall, 10' Length  is necessary for a safer grip on the handles if you're using it as a pot. I assemble these with a small improvised stove made from an aluminum can, and a foil windscreen for a great backup kit that's easy to toss in your pack for a day hike.

I really wanted to love this camp cup: it's simple, light, fits my Nalgene-everything seemed perfect. Until I got it to the field. The handles are made of a highly malleable metal (I'm assuming aluminum) that bend right off the cup if you put anything in it and hold it by the handles. I threw some zip ties around the handles which pretty much keeps them on, but man! What a poor design! Even the military canteen cup manages to keep the handles on. Very disappointing.

I fits precisely over a 32 oz Nalgene bottle may cause scratches with time, but hey, does that really matter when you need a perfect cup for your coffee? I have not had scratches from it after playing with it much.I has a great handle, feels durable and it saves a bunch of room because it goes on your bottle.. a handkercheif draped over it makes a quick and easy coffee filter, it big enough to make a cup of soup or rice for a meal. Very pleased with it.side note, it meant to slip onto the bottle, i actually cover the top of the bottle as the strap for the lid makes the cup securely snug to the bottle.

I returned this instantly and ended up purchasing the TOAKS 375ml Cup. First, the handles on this were ridiculously long. I'm not sure what the makes of this cup were thinking when they made them that way. Any who, the handles also made a very loud screeching noise as if the handles were scratching on the actual cup every time I pulled them out. It was very uncomfortable. The cup also came to me bent so I didn't really think it would be able to withstand backpacking adventures and getting thrown in my pack without getting mangled after a few trips. Hot lips work great with this and fit perfectly. It just didn't quite fit what I needed it to do. It is an all around OKAY cup, but I would gladly spend the extra money on the TOAKS cup, and I did.

I bought the regular black hard anodized version for myself and just bought this one for my girlfriend. It has been a great mutli-use camping cup. The finish is very even and the rolled lip is even and smooth. The handles can sometimes be a little 'flexy' and don't match up to each other evenly but you find a sweet spot sooner or later and then its not such an issue. Also be cautious filling this up fully with hot liquids as the lip can get very hot. I have ordered a set of snow peak lip protectors and will see if these help. Oh and the 32oz Nalgene bottle fits perfectly!I have mainly used it for tea and hot coca. It's big enough that you can steep or mix enough for two people and share. Alternatively, it is large enough that you can make a packet of ramen noodles if you want to use it as a bowl. Further, you can boil water with it on a stove like I do on my MSR Whisperlite. You need to be careful with the handles though as they can get hot when boiling water, use a towel or handkerchief or a pot grabber. If you are looking to go ultra light on your camp kitchen I can see this as an option for one pot meals, dehydrated packets and still have a cup for your morning coffee!

I so much wanted to love this thing. Felt great in the hand, seemed well built. I've had it out twice now, one overnighter and a 5 day and I've been let down. The cup itself works great, as it should, it holds stuff. However, the handles are aluminum as well and will bend with a full cup. The bend far enough out of shape that they come out of the bracket and can leave you with a wet foot when it falls. I've tried to adjust them to prevent this, but the material is so soft it doesn't matter what you do. I'm thinking I will have to replace them with some heavier gauge steel wire. YMMV, but steer clear if you want something rugged. I'm going back to my blue enamel camp mug. Failings aside, the DZO universal lid fits this cup snugly and you won't spill much if the cup tips over on the fire. It also nests perfectly on the Stanley 24 oz pot.

I ordered this mug to nest with a Nalgene 38oz water bottle. None of the product pictures showed the inside of the mug itself. Who would be foolish enough to rivet THROUGH the aluminum body? Seriously, just bad. Every time the mug gets hot then cools the rivets weaken the mug. It WILL leak, just a matter of time. it will also scrape the crap out out of any nested bottle. And the riverts are poorly installed at that (see pictures).I returned this mug and bought a GSI stainless steel mug for an extra $3.

Love these cups, if you find the nalgene bottle isn't a snug enough fit take a hammer and put a little dent on the side of the cup then it wont slide off....

Excellent mug! Nests nicely with my 32oz insulated clean canteen.
