The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Snow Peak Titanium Mug with HotLips:
I got this Snowpeak 600 Mug/pot with my REI dividend last week. I have owned and used an MSR Titan kettle for 7 years now on lightweight trips and find it to be a great to near perfect pot; however, there are times when I want an even smaller size pot to take up even less pack space and weight when I need to carry more gear and/or food in a Granite Gear Vapor pack and the Titan is too bulky to squeeze in well. So, I have been hunting around and comparing, and for the price,(again, I used my dividend)this is what I got. It is very compact and light: 2.8 oz and with the homemade lid weighs 3.35 oz. Warning: Don't cook in a double wall mug. This mug in the review is a SINGLE wall mug/pot.On capacity of the 600 mug: If one wants 2-3 packs of oatmeal and a hot drink in the morning, you will need more capacity than the 20 oz of the 600, and the Titan would be better so as to only have one boil. However, if you are eating cold cereal and want one large hot drink this cup is perfect for breakfast. For dinner: the 20 oz capacity is good if you have two boils-- one for soup and hot drink and one for a freeze dried dinner.On boiling 16-18 oz water: 1--14gram Titanium Esbit stove with 3/4 circumference aluminum foil windscreen:With:1--6.5g Coghlan's tab--10 min. to very low boil1.5--6.5 Coghlan's tabs---8.5 min. to boilSame stove set-up with 20 oz water:1---14g Esbit tab---9 minutes to rolling boilMini .25 oz top jet alcohol stove with well-made aluminum 360 degree windscreen and 20 oz water:3/4 oz Alcohol----8 min to roiling boil.Observations: a wider pot would get better boil times, but the whole point of the 600 is a small set-up that takes up little pack space--it can also be used as a cup with the Hotlips. I plan to make a cozy for it to have an insulated mug/pot too.The handle gets hot when used as pot on a stove but cools quickly to enable one to use it as a cup.HOMEMADE LID FOR SNOWPEAK 600:I made the lid from the bottom of a Archer Farms Mint Cocoa container.How:(Use common sense and safety when using hand tools)1) Go to [...] and get the Cocoa. 2) Drink/use the Cocoa.3) Cut cardboard out of bottom metal plate. The cardboard peels out of the metal inset easily. 4) With needle-nose pliers straighten out rim in very small increments all the way around the rim-carefully, because there is spring pressure on the plate. 5) Use brass polish to remove expiration date and time off bottom. 6) Measure and find and mark center. 7) Get aluminum screw and housing from [...] for .93 cents for pot-lid knob. 8) Clamp plate/lid and drill hole in center to fit makeshift screw knob9) Drill smaller steam release hole.10) Attach screw knob.11) Hand sand off any sharp shards on edges of lid or drill hole/steam hole.12) Make sure you use a cloth or glove to remove lid so as not to burn yourself.13) It's not as tight fitting like the MSR Titan, but it's my first lid and fits and works very well. 14) Weight of lid is .5 oz.16) Dry lid after using to prevent rusting.PS. See picture-This complete setup with mug, lid, stove, and windscreen weighs less than 3.5 oz. I will probably make a better windscreen out of an aluminum cookie sheet that may make the weight of the set-up between 3.5-3.7 oz. The good windscreen in the 2nd pic was made for the MSR Titan Kettle.

Comments about Snow Peak Titanium Mug with HotLips:
The one drawback is the surface texture if the titanium. If water is left in the cup for an extended period of time a smell of sour mildew develops. It seems apparent that the matte finish is a perfect surface for bacteria to take hold. The cup must be washed and dried immediately after use to avoid the build up of organic matter causing the smell. It's a bit of a hassle when out in the wilds to always maintain a spotless mug. It's also a bit expensive considering how ordinary it is. Titanium isn't the best material for cooking which limits this thing to boiling water. No lid.
I do like the shape of it though. It's plain, simple, and large enough to quench your thirst or to use as a bowl for chili, soup, etc.

I am a frequent backpacker and sea-kayak-tourer located in Western NC, so most of my use is in the Southeastern USA. However, I have been all over the country, both backpacking and kayaking, and I do so regularly. I travel abroad, but that's irrelevant for this review. The Snowpeak 600 mug is my lightweight solo cook pot/mug of choice for any outdoor adventure, whether it be a quick day hike where I want to have a nice hot drink in the afternoon, or an extended 10 day kayak expedition or backpacking trip. Great for boiling 2 cups of water, or cooking up a meal for one. Combine it with an aftermarket or homemade SP600 lid (it's only weakness, it does not come with one) and it's perfect! It'll nest a small 110g canister and a Snowpeak Gigapower stove inside, or you can easily fit a small alcohol stove with fuel and still have room leftover for a lighter, bandana, windscreen, etc. An alternative might be the GSI Halulite Minimalist, which offers a bit more in the way of creature comforts (sip lid, cozy, slightly larger capacity, less expensive), but it is also heavier for those who are counting ounces and grams... The hotlips fit snuggly and do what they are intended to do, no complaints there. Overall a beautiful, rugged, well-designed titanium mug/pot. In summary, the SP600, with a lid (seek and thee shall find), is quite perfect!!!

Comments about Snow Peak Titanium Mug with HotLips:
For backpacking I really like the idea of a 20 fl oz durable-but-ultra-light metal cup that can double as a solo cooking pot. But after purchasing the "Snow Peak Titanium" and using it several times I found that it has a lingering metallic taste that simply won't go away. And it is EXPENSIVE (!!) A better idea: For less than 1/4 the price of the "Snow Peak Titanium" you can get a 17 fl oz stainless steel cup made by StanSport that weighs 3.8 oz (vs. 3.0 oz for the Snow Peak). Or, for less than 1/3 the price of the Snow Peak, you can get a 12 fl oz anodized aluminum cup made by Esbit that weighs only 2.5 oz and includes a lip protector.[...]

This little pot/mug (mot? pug?) is perfect for freezer-bag cooking! It holds enough water for my freezer-bag meal, with enough left over for coffee, tea, or cocoa. It's the perfect size for my little alcohol stove as well as my Snow Peak Giga stove. I can't think of anything else I own that is as perfect a fit as this little gem. I was able to find a lid for it from MiniBull Designs, so now it's absolutely perfect. However, you can always make a lid for it from heavy duty foil.

I got this cup after returning an rei cup that was too small and double walled. This cup is single walled so you can put it straight on the stove and use it to boil water and cook. Its perfect size for coffee or cooking for one person. I fill the cup and boil, then use half the water for mt house eggs and the other half for star bucks via coffee after by topping it off with filtered water so that its drinkable temperature. The fold out handles dont rattle and are stable/well made, but could be coated with silicone for added function, just make sure you flip them out before heating. The cup is a little bigger than some might want for coffee or water but you dont have to fill it to the top, and leaving some room saves it from boiling over or spilling, whereas a smaller cup you dont have the option. It doesnt stay warm as long as double wall but its well worth the trade to be able to heat the cup even if you dont intend on using it to cook, and it didnt get cold super fast. Its very light weight and fits in a pack easily.
I would have added a lid to keep dirt and bugs out of your drink and to hold heat longer/heat up water faster, but its one less thing to worry about. The hot lips is kind of a joke...good idea but its held on by two tiny little pointed flaps instead of the whole piece going over the lip of the cup so it falls off easily, I lost mine the first day i camped with it on the lost coast after finding it the first 3 times it fell off. It also leaves your upper lip touch the hot cup. I see they sell replacement hot lips so maybe they want to sell them. Great cup for drinking and cooking, I love the size and the quality.

I love hot lips! So will you. This is the perfect size for breakfast and dinner. This is a 20oz cup that you can use to boil water. Breakfast = 8oz for M.H. freez dried bfast or oatmeal + 12oz left for a hot drink. Supper = 16oz for freez dried 2 serving meal or raman noodles. light weight perfection - a lid of coarse. I rock
