QualGifts Stainless Steel Camping Cup (12 Oz) - Easy to use Drinking Mug for camping, outdoor, military style green, Hot and cold beverage metal cup

This is the best stainless-steel cup for tea. I love the color and its durable. I keep it on my backpack everywhere I go.

Excellent quality, useful, have used it set on the side of the fire to warm up already cooked soup as well.

The handle is far enough away from cup to keep from burning fingers when holding it. Firm construction. Reminds me of a steel barrel and an old steel beer can from the 1970s. A little pricey for what it is, but I am buying more. I made the Cockeyed Bull leather wrap myself which also helps to hold it with hot coffee in it.

Take a look at the photo. That’s a US Army-issue canteen cup. It’s OK for boiling water for shaving, but it’s terrible as a drinking cup. Compare it to this QualGifts camping cup that almost looks like something a soldier might get at a CIF/Central Issue Facility. But unlike a canteen cup it’s perfect for enjoying some coffee, tea, or a cup of soup. When I was deployed to Iraq for Operation Desert Storm it dawned on me that the one thing I missed having the most was a decent coffee cup, and there was no PX in the middle of the desert, no convenience stores either. This may seem like a minor thing, but the little comforts matter when you’re living in a tent. Also, on the Army canteen cup the wire holders are loose and awkward. I hated using it. This handle is intact. It doesn’t move around, so you get a firm grip. This is a major improvement over the government-issue cup. It looks a bit like a metal barrel, and it is OD-green. And being metal, it won’t break. This will withstand a lot of wear and tear. This should be for sale in the PX! It’s ideal for camping or hiking. I keep mine in my grab-and-go emergency bag, and while I don’t do much camping anymore, it’s a comfort to have this on-hand.

I got this because I thought it looked cool. It does, like a 55g barrel shrunken down. It’s relatively small, good for an 8oz pour (pictured) with room for cream. If you drink coffee black, it’ll hold a 10oz pour. It’s light, 111gr empty, and will find a place in my camping backpack.
