I searched, but could not find the answer I was looking for. I want a decent durable mug that will nest nicely inside my titan kettle. It does not matter if it is titanium, aluminum, lexan or plastic. I have tried super light weight options like styrofoam, paper and even lightweight plastic ones. I have recycled packaging from things like Kraft mac n cheese cups, etc. By the way, those are cool because they have a thin insulation material on them. However, they all seem to be almost TOO light. They tend to blow away if I am not careful. I am thinking titanium or aluminum so that I could heat water in them in an emergency.

I know it is a redundant item, as I only boil water in my kettle, but I have found that the kettle is a bit awkward to use as a mug. I also would like to have a drink while I am boiling my water for dinner.

What say you, Kettle owners? What have you found that works well? I tend to over-think things and this probably is one of those "slap your forehead" instances.

Thanks ahead of time!

I use the MSR Titan cup. Probably not the lightest or cheapest option, but it is designed to nest in the Kettle. I just boil water in the Kettle and use the cup to drink out of.

Both the BPL 500cc and 550cc pots w/ lids fit nicely (one only, of course). And a 110g canister fits in those pots as well, making for a pretty compact kitchen.
