Great cup for the price
Great cup for the price. I like it because its lightweight and when I'm drinking something hot I can hold it over a flame or canister stove to heat it back up if it cools off. I find that better than spending the money on a larger more expensive and heavier double wall cup or a mug from home when backpacking. Also for those interested in using it to cook or heat up liquid over the many canister stoves its base diameter is to small to fit on the pot supports of most popular brands of canister stoves on the market, but I've had no issue just holding it over the flame for about 10 seconds and boom same result, handles never got hot on me during this either, it seems to be absorbed into the liquid before that happened but I'm also only warming it back up to a comfortable drinking temp, not reboiling it. If you want a small cup that can also be used as a cup/bowl/cook pot and don't mind the weight of stainless steel then consider the GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Bottle Cup/Pot or for a similar lightweight titanium option try the Snow Peak Titanium Single 600 Wall Cup One great thing about titanium is that it dosent hold/retain heat which is good because it transfers to the liquid and you can put your lips to it within a few seconds after taking it off burner in my experience or just overall sooner than when compared to other metals such as stainless steel. If your comparing it to its direct competitor theSnow Peak Single Wall 450 Cup One Size I can say this, they are both good. The Toaks is cheaper if thats important, but compared to the Snow Peak the Toaks titanium is a bit gritty like a very find sandpaper, personally I didn't like that because I'm picky and if you eat small items out of it you could have a bit harder time cleaning it. I do like the handles because with my large hands I hold it using my three most middle fingers, when doing so my middle and index finger fit in handle holes and the small bump in the handle at bottom sit perfectly on my ring finger. Someone at Toaks was spot on when engineering this cup handle. Its surprisingly fits like a glove to my semi-bigger handle. With all that said I still prefer the Snow Peak cup (also great handle). Its just feels more quality and smoother titanium finish I believe polished titanium. For me thats worth it because we're already cutting hairs here as it is so if I cared that much to save a few bucks I certainly wouldn't be buying a fancy un-necessary titanium cup to begin with haha id be taking a plastic cup from home or Walmart. So overall all its a great cup and you won't go wrong with this item but if money isn't an issue and you just want the best available then do yourself a favor and just buy the Snow Peak 450ml cup instead. Just my own two cents, hope that helps, cheers!
