A basic mug
This is a pretty standard mug. If you want a mug that is relatively cheap, isn't particularly heavy or particularly light, and holds liquids as advertised, this fits the bill. I've never noticed a strong metallic taste, and it's lasted me a couple years now with no visible signs of wear. It is a single-walled metal cup, so don't expect it to provide much insulation. One point that bothers me is that the rim folds over the top and leaves a small gap, just large enough to catch my mustache in. For that reason, getting a new mug has been on my list for a while, but this one does well enough that a replacement isn't a high priority.
Nice, simple, inexpensive cup
It's a nice, simple, cheap, single walled cup that you can beat the heck out of. Like another reviewer, I've heated it right on the fire before. It's used to drink coffee out of or eat soup out of. The enamel is durable enough that it still looks new, in spite of many zany antics and much abuse. The only real downside that I can come up with is that the rolled lip of this thing grabs mustache hairs with reckless abandon. There's no escape to be found and you'll have to sacrifice the hair. If you value your symmetrical mustache, or your sanity, you will have to drink carefully from this cup.
Does its job, but...
I bought a couple of these. They work, and feel rather durable. The reason I am giving them 3 stars, is because upon washing them the first time (before use) I left them to soak, and once they dried I had already noticed hints of rust dripping from the folds of the metal. The outer metal finish hasn't rusted, but inside the lip appears to be readily oxidized. So far it hasn't been an issue, as the rusty fluid can be wiped away, but it certainly has the potential for expedited failure. Bought both bowls and plates of the same design; bowls had the same issue, plates had no issue(s).
Straightforward and simple
I wouldn't let this cup get a bad rep. I bought a similar one (same enamel, a little wider) before hitting the trail on a two night hike after leaving my other mug (which has a little more frills) at home accidentally. This mug won me over to my surprise. I've made soup and tea in this mug on both a stove and directly on coals - something I can't do with my more expensive double-walled mug. The enamel has held up fantastically; more than I'd expected. The mug wipes clean easily too. Granted, in cold weather if you leave the mug unattended the contents will get cold, but while holding it in your hands or insulated with a sock, it does fine. The fixed handle does mean it isn't streamlined for packing, but I haven't found it to be a problem for me. For the price, this mug does just great if not a little better.
Nice cup
Nice cheap cup. My partner wanted a mug with a lip on it. Seems to be durable from limited use. One note however is the the metal ring on the lip and the cup itself are two separate pieces. I would like to see them be one piece but for six bucks this ain’t bad.
Excellent for avoiding diaposables
I bought several of these as gifts for my boy scouts and they loved them. They wrote thier name on the outside and did not lose them. These enameled steel cups will save us from wasting hundreds of disposable hot cups (for hot chocholate, etc). The parents were thrilled and wanted one of thier own.
The quintessential camping mug
Yes, it's metal and yes, there was a very slight early metallic taste but after 3 uses and washes it went away. It's a good size and it's exactly what I've always pictured a camping mug to look like. Cheap, durable, what more do you want?
This cup works just fine
I was skeptical about this cup because of the last two reviews. I purchased it anyways because the one I wanted was out at the store. I was VERY pleased with it. NO unpleasant metal taste when drinking coffee! Thats all I cared about. It's light, and easy to clean and really came in handy when trying to measure water for our backpacking food. This is a good cup!
That could have been a sloppy wedding....
In an effort to cut back on waste while also providing our wedding guests with a fun and functional favor we decided to use these cups as our drink cups. I waited for coupon season and once it came I was ready to make the purchase. While I was excited to place the order I searched for "GSI green cup" and threw 150 into my cart. As soon as I hit submit I realized I had forgotten to apply my coupon which was going to save me a few hundred dollars. SHOOT! I called for help, a wonderful lady in customer service helped me and corrected my order while also talking to me about my wedding and telling me about Great Basin National Park being a great honeymoon location- it's rarely visited and her great uncle was the very first ranger there! She was so incredibly helpful and pleasant. 2 days later I received a shipping notice for 150 TWENTY-FOUR OUNCE CUPS. I didn't even realize that they came that big! That's bigger than the biggest beer you can order at 22oz. I panicked. I called REI immediately and explained that I had meant to order 150 12oz cups. The gentleman laughed and made some jokes with me about needing guests to sign a waiver for cups that big, how fast the kegs would kick, and how fun my wedding sounds and that he wanted to come. He helped me place the correct order, with my 25% off, and told me not to worry that they would be on their way. I apologized profusely for my huge mistake- feeling terrible for whoever will handle my in-person return of 150 giant cups. Well, 2 days later I received everything that I had ordered. All of our wedding cups have arrived, both the correct size and the wrong size. The customer service within REI is beyond any I have ever experienced. Never once did anyone act annoyed, but rather cheerful and so incredible happy to help. I will remain a lifelong member. The cups are great and will be such a great addition to our wedding. REI, you really kick butt.
Nostalgia Inducing
It's affordable, yes, but I love the classic aesthetic to this cup.
