Exactly what I needed!
Okay, this little cup was perfect! It was my first backpacking experience, so I went into REI and asked what I could used to boil water, on a campfire, for tea. The worker pulled this cup up online and told me to order it. I used this cup every morning, boiled water right on top of the campfire. As long as the handles aren’t right over direct fire, they do not get hot. Once the water was boiled, i took the cup off of the fire, let it sit for about 3-5 minutes with my seeping tea, and I was able to drink right from the cup. It does get a lot of soot on it, but it comes right off with a wash. 10/10 would recommend this cup!
Back to the Future?
For Hikers of a Certain Age, this fits the ecological niche that Army surplus canteen cups occupied when we were kids. It's a very good combination with the 1 qt Nalgene bottle and a small canister stove for tea, cowboy coffee, oatmeal, and soup. I've used it with the Snowpeak Gigapower and the flame pattern fits the bottom of the cup perfectly. The cup with a 1 qt bottle, stove, and bigger Spork make a great minimal kitchen combination. I've not been back in the snow since getting this cup, but the rolled lip looks strong enough for repeated use in digging icy snow for making water. A very, very good concept and product.
Perfect solo size cup
I've had my same cup for 5 years now, legit. Hundreds of trips. This thing fits over the end of a standard Nalgene, weighs next to nothing (and cooks better than titanium), works on my pocket rocket, works in the fire, durable, inexpensive, handles cool quickly. Holds pretty much exactly 16oz of water, enough for individual size dehydrated stuff, a few packs of instant oats, or cowboy coffee. Can be your ONLY pot if you're solo, but still a great personal cup even if you need more cookware for a larger group.
Ideal for going lightweight on a budget
If you do mostly cook-in-a-bag meals with the odd hot beverage, for 1-3 people, GET THIS as your pot. Paired with a basic backpacking stove, you're almost at Jetboil weight, with more flexibility and for a fraction of the cost. It can boil just over 2 cups of water at a time, which should be enough for just about every cook-in-bag meal I've come across. Granted, a Jetboil system is more efficient. But, if you have a lid (easy enough to make by folding aluminum foil), that helps a bunch. Also, I like knowing that if I run out of fuel or the stove fails, I can still easily boil water over a fire. And steel means it can take abuse. Just watch out for the handles -- they can get hot.
Don't try this with plastic!
Adding to my earlier review, this gives a whole new meaning to the old diner phrase "give me a warm up." Surprisingly, this cup is not as much of a lip burner as I thought. The handles were long enough to even work in this monstrously large beach bonfire.
Versatile Cup
I have been using this cup for a couple years now. Reminds me of the versatility of my issued canteen cup from the army. I was searching for a more compact way to travel after having to sacrifice space for my jet-boil. Though it is not as fast, and uses a little more fuel, I love that it can slip over a water bottle, or even the end of my air mattress pad to save space. I took a hammer and flat head screw driver to mine and was able to indent the metal at half cup increments, so I can measure out my water for dehydrated meals. I like that I can use it on my tiny stove or even over a fire. I started carrying a hot lips in my stove bag (along with a small lighter); since I like to fill my cup to the rim when making coffee or tea, and the lip of it can get pretty warm. I agree with other reviewers that the handles can get warm, so use a bandanna or gloves when handling straight from the heat source.
Backpacking all in one.
When I backpack alone, or I am in a group doing all my own cooking, this is the only thing I use to cook and eat from. Perfect size for solo cooking and eating, and my morning coffee. Mine also has volume indicators formed into the sheet metal at 8, 12, and 16 ounces, which I don't see in the images online. The handles are nice, but can get too hot to grab on a stove because they're not coated. However since they're not coated, this cup is fine to place on/in a fire to cook, which I often do with the aid of a Coleman pot holder (lighter and better than the black diamond pot holder REI sells).
Disappointed
After reading the reviews of this cup, I was happy when I saw it arrive. After the first day of a three day backpacking trip and gentle use, one of the two handle attachments came off. After the second day, the second handle attachment was loose. The handles are necessary as the cup is not insulated so I arranged to have this cup returned
Really good pot/cup
I bought this pot to use in addition to a TOAKS 750 ml pot. This cup works great for mixing drinks. Only thing that would make it better would be if it had measurement marks for every 100 ml.
Good cup but limited use and heavy
This cup is very well made a sturdy and heavy construction. I know this is not going to be popular but this cup is hype. It fits on a one liter bottle but in reality 1/2 liter it too small except for a single serve minimal cook. Cook a meal then reheat water again for a drink, what a bother. Heating up is poor as it has no lid. For 1/2 oz heavier get a one liter GSI Outdoors Hae Tea Kettle and an lightweight plastic mug that insulates much better than steel. The 1 liter kettle gives you enough water for two servings and you can cook a real meal like pasta.
