I started looking for very light and multipurpose. I found Sgt. Rock's "Lemon Jar" idea, with a reflectix cozy to be perfect! Lightweight, multipurpose, and can have measurements marked off, or, top is one cup, bottom is two.

i use a plastic cup. doesn't burn my lips or freeze to my fleece gloves in winter.
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
5000 + views and five pages about a cup?

I use a measuring cup that double to measure out my water for my food
I previously said I was using an MSR Titan cup. Even went out and got a Live Strong band to go around the lip. The day before I left for my thru attempt I got a birthday package in the mail from my son with a Kupilka. I love drinking my morning coffee out of it. It's great for dipping water out of streams. I lost the functionality of cooking with it. Otoh, it is a superior mixing bowl.
Recently at a shelter for lunch, I poured a cup of granola into it, and mixed in 2tbls of peanut butter and a bunch of raisins. Wonderful.

I just use a coffee cup from a gas station that I cut down a little bit to fit better. Styrofoam, fits in my cookpot perfectly with everything else, and if I end up using the Via, the cup is only about 8oz, which will help make the flavor a little stronger (which I like).
My problem is I like coffee in the AM, but tea in the evening. Tea tends to taste bad when consumed out of plastic cups that were previously used to hold coffee, no matter how much you clean them. I have been know to carry two cups, but would be interested if there are any tea snobs who can provide an UL alternative.
Tea Snob? oh well - UL would be to use the boil pot for tea nested cup for java a sort of nested Ti/aluminum cup/pot.
One step creamer? Land of Lakes - Mini Moos work great in both - creamer in tea sucks.

I like an afternoon cup of tea but I use my good old Sierra cup for that too.
"You're a nearsighted, bitter old fool."
I decided I can't wait for 3-cups of boiling water, so I can have my coffee and dinner.
At breakfast, it is worse to have to wait.
For that reason, I justified purchase of an Evernew Titanium Cup (EBY152).
It isn't all rationalization. One cup water heats faster. The titanium cools rapidly so the edge isn't a problem.
I nest the cup in my beanie hat sleepwear, that keeps my hot drink hot.
I feel more enlightened and more justified in spending the big $$$ after writing all this out.

I use a one of those microwaveable single serving Campbell's soup cups. They are hard styro with an aluminum ring that reinforces the top and have a plastic lid.
I use a lightweight insulated plastic cup given as a gift when visiting a church, haven't found anything yet that compares with it and I look every time I go in a store...weights 3 oz and holds 12-14 oz. I keep my coffee and filters inside it so I'm always ready to brew.
i use a mcdonalds cup and the pot from my cook set i boil a close to full pot of water.then i pour all but what it takes to make my oatmeal into the mcdonalds cup,making coffee.when my oatmeal is eaten i pour some of the coffee back into the pot and use it to clean the pot then drink it,repeat process till coffe is gone and the pot is clean.swirling and scraping with spoon helps.there is no calorie waste that way.
