Ti cup with drinking lid ~600~750ml

I messed up the title and can’t figure out how to edit it.

I am actually okay with any volume in the ~450ml ~750ml

I don’t have an answer, but I really like my GSI minimalist cup. I don’t walk out of camp with a full cup of coffee, but it’s a nice big cup that is hard to spill, which is everything I need in the morning. I was able to justify the weight of the lid, but I’m moving to a wider pot because I wanted to save fuel and the narrow pot wasn’t very efficient with an alcohol stove.

@MJH – I’m in a similar situation; i just upgraded to a TrailDesigns sidewinder.  I went sidewinder because it is lighter and cheaper than the Fissure, and wider pots are as you say more effcient.

Since the 900ml short evernew pot is much lighter than my older GSI minimalist, but is a horrible cup, i’m looking for a replacement cup that can still cook in a pinch (obviously there are many light plastic cups with lids)

If you would only want to boil water in the cup, perhaps a smaller titanium water bottle would work. Screw on cap for walking with coffee.

I’ve been using a SnowPeak 450 single wall with CF lid by Ruta Locura. I added a Litesmith silicone Cross Band around the lip of the cup, prevents burning my, well… lip on the cup. It also keeps the lid on in my pack (when used in “Mug Bail” configuration).

I just checked, Ruta Locura makes a CF lid for the SP single-wall 600 cup, that would give you a cup and lid for less weight then the Minimalist cup alone. The only drawback I see, the lid is not ‘drink-thru’ I don’t think it would work for sipping while walking.

I suspect the Minimalist kid will fit on a Toaks 95mm pot like the 550. I can try the fit tonight if you are interested. It seems weird to put a 1.5 ounce lid on a 1.5 ounce pot but you’d keep the function you like.

tom c, it might be worth looking at Massdrop.com. They currently have Keith Ti single wall mugs with lids available in sizes between 400ml-650ml.

I don’t have any connection to Keith or Massdrop, nor do I have any Keith Ti products. Just figured it may be worth a look.

The Keith mugs don’t have a drink lid just the regular titanium lid. HERE is a single wall 400ml (I know you want at least 450ml but it comes close) titanium mug with drink lid at 2.8 oz with lid for $31.46.

Regarding the SP 600 pot (with a carbon fiber lid), the plastic lid for a tub of Daisy sour cream is a perfect fit for that pot (cup). It snaps on tight, and all you have to do is cut out your sipping hole, and maybe a vent hole on the other side. These lids won’t work very well when boiling water, as they get rather soft in the heat. But for sipping your joe it works fine. And Josh’s CF lid works great for boiling your water.

I like to carry a plastic lid for whichever pot I will be using. I pre-soak many ingredients for my meals, and a snap-on lid secures the goodies so that the mini-bears and bugs don’t mess with things for the hour + that I am rehydrating things. The sour cream lid is the only one I’ve found that fits the SP 600 pot, but for a Jetboil Sol pot, the companion EN 400 cup (which fits nicely onto the Sol pot bottom, and replaces the stupid stock JB bottom cover), or my Vargo BOT 700, lids for Planters nuts, small Crisco cans, or Ensure powder will all work.

For the SP 600 a Dixie D9550 coffee lid fits securely with a little pressure.  I got a big pack on ebay for cheap.

When I go solo it is my only pot and cup, so I’m cooking over either alcohol or fire.

You remove the insulating sleeve when you heat your water?

When you take off down the trail do you hold the cup in your hand until contents are consumed?

The minamalist lid does indeed fit the toaks 550. I think maybe the 650 as well. I think it is just taller.

“the plastic lid for a tub of Daisy sour cream is a perfect fit for that pot”

This is why I’ve always loved this forum.

The GSI Infinity mug has a great sippy lid that is totally leak proof when closed. The outside diameter of this mug is just a hair under the inside diameter of the SP 600.

So, I cut off the top ~1-2 cm of the GSI mug, then made a gasket out of a thickish rubber band (the kind your broccoli comes held together with) duct taped to the top section of the mug, so that it fits snugly in the pot.

The result is exceptionally slosh-proof, such that I can put the closed sippy pot in my backpack side pocket without fear of losing even a drop of precious coffee as I mosey down the trail.

I can’t recall exact weights, but with a coozie made of 1/4” ccf foam, and without the pot handles, the whole shebang weighs somewhere between 4-5 oz, and saves 1-2 oz over having the same pot and fully-intact mug (with its insulating sleeve).

I’m somewhat concerned/curious about chemicals leaching from the duct tape when exposed to hot water. I’ve mulled over making a food grade silicone gasket, but haven’t gotten there yet.

Nice project Scott

I made a sippy cup from a recycled aluminum food can, added a mega silicone band and plastic lid. Slit the lid in 2 places, one to suck the drink out and one to let air enter when drinking.
