Lightweight Mug?

Double wall is a problem for cooking.

Is the Snow Peak Trek 700 too large? The lid can be replaced with foil if you want to reduce weight a bit.

Steve,
Very good point. I didn't think about the cooking. Just wanted to have my cake and eat it too!.

For what I am looking for, the SP 700 is a little big.

And yes, no matter what I get, if it has a lid, it will get replaced with foil.

Snowpeak also has a 450ml (15 oz to the rim) or 600 (20oz to the rim). Neither has a lid. 2.4 and 2.8 oz respectively.

If you are looking for the 550, this is it:

Tibetan Titanium 550

There was a thread a few days ago about these pots and how they are the same as the ones BPL sells. I think the thread was for the BB ultra.

Looks like I was a few posts too slow

Hey-
If you wanted to be a little decadent… Snowpeak's double-wall stackable mugs are great. I got a M600 that stacks perfectly inside my Titan kettle, stove and fuel inside. I'm guessing you could nest a 450ml mug in a 550/600 ml single wall… cost of decadence here about 3 to 3.5 ounces. Worth it to me, 'cause then I can have coffee with breakfast (instead of before or after) and I can ultimately break camp a bit faster.

Good point Brad. And it sure would beat sucking it down from my 1 qt plastic stove caddy before it gets cold.

I really like some of the snow peak mugs. Anyone ever had problems out of these?

Here are a few I found while browsing, 300 & 400 ml: http://www.antigravitygear.com/evernew.php

The mugs can come with a lid that lets you sip. I've thought of picking up a 400 for solo trips; seems just big enough to heat up single serving food. 2.5 oz with lid, I think.

I have the Snow Peak 450 twin wall titanium mug and its my preferred mug over any other, my TWEG stays hot for quite a while.

I also use the 450 single wall titanium mug (I have 3) for boiling water, cooking and for drinks.

Overall, I appreciate the heat retention qualities of the twin wall mug, which can also be used to keep food hot and is of a good size.

On no account use a twin wall mug on a stove, rupture and fragmentation may be the outcome……

On the 400, I have a in-new-condition one for sale on my website, in the Bargain Bin. I bought it a couple years ago and never used it. The husband got asked which Ti mug he wanted, and he preferred the MSR ones over the Evernew….so I am trying to get rid of it ;-)

*Edit:Put wrong brand name down. Duh…..

I have the Snowpeak 450 which works well. However, I should note that mine does not weight the quoted 2.4oz and is in fact 3.0 oz on the nose.

Kyle, The Tibetan 550 is the same as the BPL 550. I have the Tibetan and it is a great mug. I use it with a Caldera cone for the BPL 550. Its a perfect fit. I have a number of different mugs/pots including a Snowpeak 450. I pretty much use the Tibetan 550 all the time. Mine weighs right at 3.0 oz (mine was heavier then spec) but the lid is a real luxery and the size is perfect… 2 full cups of water can be boiled. It works great to drink coffee from too. And it comes with a nice orange padded stuff sack.

I've been using a Heinekin Beer can. It weighs 1 oz and cost $2.50. Plus, you get to drink the beer before you leave for your trip.

1.5 oz, 8 oz capacity Ti Sierra Cup. Not near the 2 cup capacity needed. Single wall for heating/cooking in a pinch. Can't remember but I think it is a Snow Peak. Latest model has folding handle.

Anyone know what would be the largest size Snow Peak Stacking Mug that would fit inside a BushBuddy Ultra? Would be nice to sip a cup of tea while cooking the meal in the pot.

Anyone have an idea of when the BPL FireLite 475ml Titanium Trapper's Mug will be available?
I've browsed the Tibetan Titanium products and didn't find anything similar/comparable….Anyone know of one?

Thanks

what's the import cost for ordering a tibetan 550 from the UK? i'd really like to buy it from BPL, but everytime i have the cash recently there is no stock and i can't buy what i want…

I didn’t pay any “import cost” for my TT 1100. It was just the item and shipping and a currency conversion. From Ultralight Outdoor Gear it’s £21.73 for the 550 mug and £3.43 shipping to the US. Currency conversion right now puts it at $36.91 total.

They take Paypal, which will convert currency for you on the fly (as will VIsa and the others I’m sure).

Lighthound.com out of Texas carries Tibetan Titanium products and they're currently on sale…although I didn't see the 550 on the website.

I also have the stackable (handle-less) titanium double wall mugs from Snow Peak. I have the H450 model, which serves me well for hot drinks.

Kyle, what are the dimensions (height x diameter) of you H450?
