Ninja Prepper Mizu, The Insulated Titanium Mug

First off, at 10.2 oz. (300 ml) this cup is a bit small compared to most coffee mugs available nowadays. If you want to avoid spilling your coffee and/or need room for creamer you're only going to be able to fill it to 8 oz. or so. Also, it can be a little tight getting your hand inside to wash it.That being said, small has it's advantages of course especially if you're an ultralight backpacker. Weighing in at 2.4 oz. (69g) it's nearly half the weight of the Snow Peak 450 double walled cup which weighs 4.2 oz. (118g). The diameter & height is about 3/8" shorter as well. I can fit the Mizu down into my  Snow Peak No. 1 Kettle  if placed on its side.Even though it's not vacuum insulated the double walls keep the liquid inside hot much longer than a single wall cup or ceramic mug. I'm able to hold the cup without burning my hands even with boiling water inside. The handles meet up symmetrically, fold down and stay flush when not in use. If you don't like a handled cup I find that this mug is still comfortable to hold with the handles folded in, they actually give the cup some grip. Although I have not tried it the handles look removable if desired leaving just the brackets but again, they would provide a little grip otherwise just hold the cup from the opposite side.The finish is excellent and there's no sloppy welds or seams etc. The bottom lies perfectly flat and the rim is comfortable on the lips. There's no bag or case included but the box that it comes in would be adequate protection when packed away.I find it a bit odd that I could not find where the cup is made in the description, the company's website or the product packaging. They do state that they're a family run business based in Seattle, WA.Pros:-High quality titanium-Light weight & compact-Double wall construction-Designed, assembled & packaged in U.S.A.-Competitively pricedCons:-A bit small-Not vacuum insulated-No compatible lid-Country of manufacture & origin of material unclear

This cup seems to be really well made for the price! I used it backpacking and drank some hot chocolate from it, and the insulated walls worked so well that I couldn't use the cup to warm my hands. No worries about not being able to hold it or have my lips burned. My partner was using her non-insulated Snow Peak and it was blazing hot. Much cheaper than the Snow Peak mugs and seem to be the same quality. My partner was definitely impressed with my mug after using her Snow Peak, and I am too.

Bought this as part of my camping gear/adventure/survival/freak-out bag.I also got the Toaks titanium spoon/fork/knife set, the 1100ml Toaks titanium pot & pan set, and a titanium Bering watch, all on Amazon.This cup is very high quality. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but will on my next camping trip. Plan to use it for tea, and instant coffee.I got the SoloMan King Stove, gasifier wood stove also. With that, I can boil water to put in my new titanium cup.I expect to have this for many decades, and like all titanium products, it will just look better with age and use.Very light. Does not add noticeable weight to your bag. Came with a nice mesh bag, but I'll probably use that for something else. This cup will fit nicely in my titanium pot/pan set.Buy this if you want a really nice camping cup that will last a long time.

I'm using this mug for the first time in my kitchen as a test run. I boiled a pot of water to test the insulation factor and I'm extremely pleased to see that the cup is warm to touch only, which means it can be used with or without the handles. The next factor was the ability to drink the water without getting burned. Again, I was pleased that I didn't need a rubber lip guard and was able to drink without problems. This is possible due to the "double-wall insulated titanium alloy construction" and it performed as advertised. I'm going on a week long backpacking trip and I'm excited to have a solid, lightweight mug that will suit my needs. The only recommendation would a 1 cup mark for measuring. At 300ml this can hold just over 1 cup, which will be nice for the morning cup of coffee, but not for measuring out water for dehydrated foods. Otherwise, this is going to be a nice replacement to my older plastic mug. Mizu, the Insulated Titanium Mug

The Mizu arrived on time in sturdy packaging. I washed it and then made some coffee... Poured it in said cup... And the coffee tasted like the coffee, not the cup. It has become my regular coffee cup because...... I like it...... If I have any regret, it's that I didn't order the larger cup, too. I'll solve that, though, I'm going to order all their stuff because it is great quality and an American company.... Now, I can sit back in my chair made in Pakistan, prop my Chinese-made-slipper covered feet up on my Vietnamese table, watch my Korean television and sip my Columbian coffee out of a quality made American titanium cup with a Japanese name. One day when all the rest is just mass in a sanitary landfill..... I'll still have that titanium mug.... Well, maybe by then.... The big one, too.

It is my mistake but this cup is not worth the money. I was going off suggestions about getting a titanium cup, but I didn't catch that you are unable to boil in this cup, but I did it anyway, the metal did hold up to cooking over my jet fuel and boiling my water every day of my camp/ hike, so in that sense it did work for my purpose, but it did round at the bottom! Otherwise, the cup held up, just not what I was expecting after my first boil. I should have just spent the extra $ and got a larger one that you CAN boil out of. Being on the trail, I found it much lighter just to carry one cup and the collapsable burner and fuel the most amount of water I needed anyways was a cup, so its way easier for backpacking! I guess now I know.
