Metal Camping Cup

Metal Camping CupIt’s fun to pick out the big, important items like sleeping bags and tents, but you cant ignore the little things, like camping cups. You have a few different options when it comes to materials for something like a camping cup, but metal is always a good option. But there are a few different kinds of metal available that you will find metal camping cups in, and each has positives and negatives associated with it. Titanium is the best, but is also the most expensive metal, and if you don’t want to spend a lot, there are a few other options available.

Metal Camping Cup

What to be looking for when you're looking to get a new metal camping cup.
  • Material – You’ve decided on metal for your camping cup, but there are actually a few different kinds of metal that you will find camping cookware in. Titanium is the best choice, being both strong and lightweight, but it’s also expensive, and if you’re not looking to spend much, stainless steel and aluminum are two other options.
  • Double Walled – Metal camping cups heat up quickly when you put something hot in them like coffee or tea. A handle is a good way to prevent yourself from being burned, and a double walled construction helps too. A double walled camping cup also helps to insulate your hot beverage and keep it hot longer.

Best Metal Camping Cup

Some of the very best metal camping cups that you will find on the market.
  • Snow Peak Titanium Double-Wall Cup - If you foresee yourself drinking a lot of hot beverages while camping then you might want to seriously consider a double walled cup. Titanium is a great option because it's lightweight, so even though you're doubling up on the material, this still only weighs 4.2 ounces, or 119 grams. And it holds 16 fluid ounces, so plenty of room for a lot of liquid, and the handle folds down for easy storage. One thing to note is that you cant use a double walled cup as a make-shift cooking pot.
  • Esbit Aluminum Mug - There aren't many aluminum cups on the market, but this one from Esbit is probably one of better ones. It holds 12 fluid ounces, and weighs 2.8 ounces, or 79 grams. The one real failing here is that the handle doesn't fold down, and juts out, which means you'll have to get a little more creative to pack it without wasting space.
  • Snow Peak Titanium Single Wall Cup - If you would prefer a single walled cup, this is likely your best choice. It holds an impressive 21 ounces of fluid, which is more than enough for just about everyone, and weighs 2.8 ounces, or 79 grams, which is the same as the much smaller aluminum Esbit cup above. The handle also folds down, which makes it easy to store when you're not using it. If you want the best, this is it.
