I shall have to see what I can find, thanks Mole. I'm currently going through the various plastic containers in the tupperware drawer and fridge to see what might fit.
These are useful. Can they fit in with your setup?I use a 500ml plastic microwaveable sauce tub, been using them for a good few years now. 27g and comfortable to hold with a hot brew inside
For me, I've decided that any cup I carry has to be insulated in some way. Single skin ti and your coffee is cold in about 30 seconds. I guess the ultralight way would be to make a good cosy for your cook pot and use that but if its a good size for a cup that means you still need it to boil a second lot of water for dinner. So I'm trying a bigger pot so I can have enough water for a coffee whilst waiting for my food to rehydrate, and have the coffee still hot when the food is ready. Yet to find a solution I'm happy with that will fit in a pot so carrying a separate 450ml double skinned plastic screw top mug. Can be used to shake up malto powder too. ~100g, not ideal but In the right direction for me.
I guess it's best not to forget packing your soap and dish cloth then.It's called a One Pint Mug. [...] It's also a great water scoop, and serves nocturnally as a HeWee.

Tried out my new stormin' stove last night, which is built around an Alpkit 900 pot. 600ml of ambient temp water to a rolling boil in 13mins. Not going to win any speed points but it is so quiet
What I need for my setup is a new mug as I'd like to fit everything except fuel into the pot. Currently I have a 600ml fold-a-cup which won't quite fit inside, a 350ml TiArtisan which is lovely but a little bit small, and a TiArtisan 650 which fits inside but is probably a bit big given I have a 900 pot to cook in and heavier than I'd like.
The 650 pot will become my day hike brew kit with a 100gm gas cylinder and the Soto Amicus inside as I can have a cuppa ready at a brew stop in under 2 minutes, which is handy when the weather's not great and you just want something quick and warming before you set off again.
So, any suggestions for a suitable cup?
No, I have to use the 900 pot as the cone is made for it so I need a different cup rather than a different pot, otherwise I'd have to buy a new cone to go with a new pot. A new cup is a lot cheaper
I guess the cups vary a little as they are flexible. Mine won't go in even halfway enough upside down. Even then, it's so tight, it's hard to remove. The way I have it, it comes out easy. I think there is a tiny taper on the pan too.
