What cup do you use for coffee?

Hi, I am looking for a light cup for morning coffee. What do you use??

I use the same pot I cook with, a .5 liter Evernew ti pot.

I did used to keep a double wall ti cup carbinered to the back of my pack for coffee though. http://www.moontrail.com/snowpeak-ticups-dw.php

The cup/bowl that is part of my GSI Soloist Cook set. Works well.

McDonald's - cheap, sturdy, easy to replace.

I carried an old lexan cup. An inexpensive travel mug from WalMart works great too.

My cook pot is a 700ml mug, works fine for coffee.

I will try to keep the paper cup from Tim Horton's that I bought on the drive to the trailhead, and keep it going for a day or two before eventually using it for tinder. After that it is the same mug/pot that I use for soup and oatmeal and other stuff. It is nice to have two. I am working on it doubling as a water carrier with a sealable lid, so I can have two of the same, without too much redundancy and extra weight and bulk. On the other hand I like the feel of ceramic mugs so I have have a mind to carry one. I have one that is sort of half way between a bowl and a mug, without a handle. I don't mind the extra weight but I am afraid of busting it. Natural materials are cool. I've heard of people making coffee cups from birch bark but I've only had epic fails thus far.

Think I'll get the GSI Soloist Cook set.

I use a single-wall titanium mug (Snowpeak, I think) for my coffee. Plastic cups are fine, but the nice thing with a metal mug: you can reheat the coffee!

I use the double-wall ti cup from Snow Peak. I just like my coffee to stay hot and that doesn't happen with my single-wall pots.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have been keeping an eye out for a clear lexan (single layer, not like the rei insulated mug) measuring cup to double as a coffee cup. While we are talking about measuring cupg, can anyone offer some ideas on where I can find something like this?

Thanks...

At 10oz, not a bad choice

I made a pot cozy from Reflectix. I use it for cozying meals, and it keeps my coffee hot, too.

Still using my old Sierra cup. It's steel (weighs 4 oz), wire rim wicks the heat away from your lip so you don't burn it on the cup (just the coffee), good shape for dipping out of spring puddles or small streams. I keep it in an outside pack pocket. Exactly 8 fluid ounces at the rim, so it makes a decent makeshift measuring cup. Wish it held more coffee, though, the way I gulp it in the mornings! Still, haven't found anything better, although I keep monitoring threads like this for ideas. one day, one might come.

Lately, I've been using a 500ml nalgene bottle with a beer can cozy as a mug. Multi-purpose extra water carrier, hot water bottle, or emptied, I can store crushables (such as Nutri-grain bars) in them. If not this, just use my SP-600 as a mug.

I use a ti Sierra cup with folding handle for tea. It would work for some methods of brewing coffee.

If interested, note that there is an Evernew model that is similar but that the Evernew listed weight is more than the Vargo.

walmart sells lexan measuring cups. very good for coffee(i burn my lip with titanium), and very handy for freezer bag cooking

That's almost it! and I love that it is 12oz (not 8).
But I really want something that has oz measurment marks on it.

I use travel cup I got at Dollar General for a dollar. It holds two cups I scribed the one cup point inside. Just put some instant coffee in it with water, put the lid on and give it a gentle shake/ stirring motion. Also use it for dehydrated soups. It hangs off the back of my pack or off a shoulder strap. I also carry the cup off a cough syrup bottle which is marked in tsp., tbsp. and oz. and the scoop out of a gator aid can that holds 1/4 cup. I can figure whatever I need from there.
