yes! you guys are awesome! now we're onto something!
annapurna's is awesome, wildtowner's is a tempting idea if I ever learn how to fabricate sh*t, and that krupilka is a rad post-lotto idea!! Casey, your sweetening the deal for sure buddy! miss you man! that stainless mug is an affordable thing of beauty. I want one of those even though it's not quite right!!
annapurna is a google wizard! filter under $5 annapurna!!
Similar to the one from the first LINK , this is the Tupperware version :
http://order.tupperware.com/coe/app/tup_show_item.show_item_detail?fv_item_category_code=2002&fv_item_number=P10105239000
500ml (2 cups) looks light but no weight listed
I see that LINK also found the same in the meantime…
this is a less expensive version :

Franco, If you look at my second post 1st link that is the exact same container I posted
Make it, no fabrication, almost free:
Get a dollar-store auto sunshade (similar to reflectix), cut it to fit around the Ziplock container (1 circle + 1 long rectangle + 1 small strip for the handle) and duct tape it together. Attach the handle to the side BEFORE you tape on the bottom circle, and — voila — it's done for about $1.50 each!
BTW, I use one of those Ziplock containers for my bowl, and they wash up really easily in the backcountry.
Link,
I think you nailed it except for, possibly, price.
Shape and cost looks good, but shipping may be a no go.

Good luck

That mug only holds 8oz.
Daryl, my link to the Arrow container with screw on lid and handle is under $8 shipped and he might get it cheaper locally or 4 for $15.99 shipped $4 each if he wanted more than 1 and it holds 16 oz.
@ Adan. Do a Google image search for onion soup bowls.
I use the bowl that came with my gsi soloist.

It doesn't have a handle but has a band that serves as a potholder. Light, works equally well as a bowl and a cup. Runs through the dishwasher well.
I agree with Valerie. The Ziploc twistlocs from the grocery store work great. You can also get the sheets of craft foam for 99 cents at Michaels arts and crafts to use for a cozy/make it so you can hold it when hot.
How about the Sea to Summit Delta Bowl. I use it car camping and find it easy to hold. Your thumb fits right on top of the handle. There's also a version with a lid.
Onion soup bowl in melamine:
Easy for me to grab in SF at restaurant supply without the 25+ miles and 3 hours required in greater LA area to find the same thing.
58 grams and 1.79USD for the little monkey bowl. 133 grams 1.99USD for the soup bowl with handle. The bowls are on the small side as they only hold 250ml. And I got the coolest whiskey tumbler ever plus a bunch of dealer bags for 1.19USD.
Steve said "Great question and thread, as I am looking for the same thing. A good mug that will do duty as a cooking vessel but also as a bowl for eating. Short, wide, but not a pan…"
Hey steve, check this out!! http://www.vargooutdoors.com/titanium-sierra-750.html#.VFfGw_nF98E
Pricey but…also did you see the Snow Peak bowl in this thread? sounds perfect for you too!
Adan,
Maybe take your kids to a local ceramics shop where they can find something that hasn't been fired yet and give it a custom/food safe paint job.
We have a purple duck in our kitchen that our daughter painted when she was four or five. While it doesn't help with our hoarding issues, it definitely has some sentimental value that's hard to put a price tag on. Unfortunately purple duck is purely decorational where your kids' mugs would be decorative and functional so win win!
Ian, ceramic? I take it you dont have kids? :)
I've done some more looking around. There are some awesome ideas here, including some that just opened my search language and lead to exponentially more possibilities.
The sierra cup is designed to do exactly what I want. Cup and bowl with handle and tie loop. I have one, an vintage aluminum one, that I carry on many of my trips. It's main issue is that its much too small for a decent bowl, but the design, with it's steeply angled sides, is the perfect compromise between drink and solid food. So I thought, maybe there's a bigger one??
Cohlan's Jumbo Sierra Cup and Stansport X-large Sierra Cup.
$7 is the cheapest I can find though :/. I would prefer 20oz maybe, not sure. but man, now we are close. Thanks Roger for the idea.
Sierra cups come in different sizes and different metals. Most are either stainless steel or titanium.
Also consider the Cascade cup. It is similar, but the sides are somewhat more vertical. 16-ounce volume, as I recall.
–B.G.–
The bowls from this set look pretty good – not sure if you can get them sold separately, although at $23 it might almost be worth just getting the set then selling off the pots.
edit:
this version has three bowls (and pot/pan set) for $25 with current 35% off coupon

I’m no stranger to using garbage as kit, thats what I’ve been doing. Now I’m ready to step up to a respectable piece of out-of-doors dining-ware.
Whoa! Hey, c’mon, let’s not get carried away now! ;)
I have this one and love it. It's currently also 21% off right now at Campsaver
http://www.campsaver.com/evernew-titanium-ultralight-mug-pot. They also make a 550ml pot if the .9 is too big for your needs.
Adan, great catch on the Vargo Titanium 750 Sierra cup. Perfect. Lid and all and found it for $20 on backcountrygear.com. I liked the Snow Peak set as well but twice the weight and I didn't need the extra cup if the bowl/mug was the right size/shape, which the Vargo was. Great piece of gear for solo use.
The other nice thing is that if the idiot who packed for the trip forgot to pack a pot, you can use the cup to boil water in. By the way, did I mention that I go on a lot of solo trips? :)
FairShare Mug always worked for me….
