Furi Titanium Mug with Lid (500ml)

This is a great ultralight backpacking mug. I enjoy going out on the trail, but I like to pack light. I do, however, like to bring some comforts with me. This mug weighs just three ounces with the lid and holds 500ml ( almost 17oz ) of liquid. With it, I can make myself a nice cup of tea and appreciate the mornings out in the wilderness without additional flavors that I get when boiling water in my camp pot ( which never gets entirely clean out on the trail ). I put this nearly weightless mug on my stove with its lid, and water heats up in no time. It adds so little weight and really is the perfect volume for some hot tea out on the trail. This is a mug that is very worth taking with you. It fits its roles in my assortment of ultralight backpacking gear perfectly!

Probably like many others, I bought this mug as my only food and water "pot" for my UL backpacking kit. This is my first titanium mug, and I like it lot. It is sturdier, with more wall thickness, than my friend's Toak's mug, which seems so thin that I would worry about crushing it in my backpack, and permanently deforming it. No such concern with this mug, which seems much stronger, This 500ml size is just right for me as a solo backpacker. I don't actually "cook" in it, but only use it to heat water, and then for reconstituting foods or drink and eating from.Wall thickness measured with a micrometer is about .016". The weight of the mug with lid is 3 ounces. The nice mesh bag adds another 3/8 of an ounce. Two cups of water fills the mug to within about 1/4 inch of the top, leaving room for the lid.With my alcohol stove burning HEAT alcohol, I was able to full boil 2 cups of 60-degree water in 9-1/2 minutes, with no soot discoloration of the bottom of the mug. Taking the mug off the stove, and with the mug holding the boiling hot water, the fold out wire handles were still cool enough to lift the mug with bare fingers.There are writers on the web who assert that an alcohol stove is not efficient for boiling water in a small diameter mug like this because the mug does not fully cover the flame ring. I did a careful test of this and came to a different conclusion. I heated two cups of water in this 3-3/8 inch diameter Furi mug from 60 degrees to 200 degrees (measured with a Fluke thermo-couple meter) in 9 minutes with this stove when the mug was set on my own wire stand with the mug bottom sitting one inch above the stove rim. The flame ring from my ALOCS stove is about the same size as the bottom of this mug. Testing again with 2 cups of water in a 1-liter aluminum pot that is 5-inches in diameter, over the supplied stand, with the bottom of this pot also sitting about 1 inch above the ALOCS stove rim, the time required to heat the water from 60 degrees to 200 degrees was about 9-1/2 minutes. Both tests were started with a cold stove. This isn't an unreasonable result when you consider that an aluminum pot is more mass to heat initially, and is radiating and losing heat into the air more quickly because it is a better conductor. Aluminum is better for simmer and cooking, but my conclusion is that this small titanium mug is just fine for boiling water on the trail with a small alcohol stove.At this Amazon price of $30, I think this is the best value available in a titanium mug of this size.

The Amazon fairy just delivered my new mug. I excitedly opened it up and discovered; no graduation marks.While it's not fair to take away a star for something I could have figured out, I'm doing it anyway. I can't imagine that a mug that's marketed for backcountry cooking does not have a way to measure the quantity of water. The primary thing I plan to do with it is boil water for dehydrated food. Need to know the quantity of water or you end up with either glop or soup.Otherwise the quilty seems to be excellent. Fit and finish is very good. Delivery was outstanding.I'll probably just use an awl to scratch in an 8 Oz mark and call it good.

I really don't have a use for a TI cup on a daily basis so it holds my toothbrush and toothpaste.I bought this cup to support a TSP sponsored business.

To small

I got this so I drink coffee on field ops. I'm impressed with the design and the collapsible handles. I am worried it will rust after awhile but only time will tell. I'll enjoy it until then.

I got this for backpacking because it was much cheaper than other titanium mugs out there at the time. It’s light and it works just fine. Happy it came with a lid too. I attached a little paper clip wire to the top so I could lift it off easier with my spork

Haven't had a chance to really use everything, I bought the spork, double wall 300 ml cup, and the Furi mug with lid. I've tested the double walled cup with hot cocoa, and it works great. I do wish it said where there products were manufactured. Ninja Prepper explains there products are designed in Washington State. They do not say where they are manufactured? I've been trying to buy as much of my gear as I can from U.S. Manufacturers and companies.
