I was recently racking my brain on different ways to make a good coffee drinking vessel to take with me on the trail. Needed to be light, smallish, and not scorch my hand when filled with boiling water. While walking down the soup isle at the grocery, it caught my eye! Campbell's Soup on the Go! Its light, perfectly shaped, has a lid, and is covered with a thin foam for holding hot liquids. So if you're looking for a good trail cup, try the Campbell's Soup on the Go!

Well, I suppose one could buy a couple of these, eat the soup at home since it is microwaveable, then take the cup along. Most people I know take a double insulated mug or a travel cup with a lid. Many people already have a travel cup. I would think that styrofoam thing would be prone to damage.

I use an Orikaso folding mug. It turns into a flat sheet that fits perfectly in the food bag. The handle is always perfectly cool. Unfortunately, I don't think they're available any more.

On a shorter trip, I have done that kind of thing. Or just taken a to-go cup from my last coffee. It is taking a chance, because such cups are fragile, but there's no denying it's light, and free. A friend of mine used to just take 2 or 3 such cups.
I used to use an insulated mug with a lid, in an attempt to keep my coffee hot enough. Since I gave up and started drinking instant, I found that I don't need the insulation. I have a cheap, very light, plastic cup (I think it's really a beer cup; one of those things with the school name and mascot printed on it) I've been carrying. It seems a little fragile, but so far has survived a half a dozen trips.

We are confirmed Sea-To-Summit Delta Insul-Mug 16 oz. fans. No handle, will pack easily. We store our headlamps in the cup during daylight hiking. Keeps liquids hot while insulting hands and lips from scalding, rinses out easy too. Comes in four colors so each family member can identify their cup. Four Colors |

I bought a case of these when I first read about them some time ago, when they were still available from Amazon. They're insulated through the process of manufacture: they capture bubbles in the recycled plastic. Additionally, (important to airlines) they are not flammable like the insulating foam cups used some time ago. The company (MicroGreen) was making them for airlines, but ran into financing difficulties because they needed to restructure and one of the tribes investing in them nixed the financial rearrangement required. They're a bit small (only 8.8 oz), but very light. Sadly, I don't think they're available any more. |

I use a reuseable Starbucks mug. $2 at Starbucks and 1.75 oz. I also have a GSI Infinity, but it's heavier and usually stays home.
