ok...I guess most people would just call it a coffee mug...
besides my fondness for titanium sporks, very little in the overland culinary department has garnered my praise...until now
I was on the internet looking for a coffee mug that I could take out to my workshop and not worry about breaking it or damaging it if it got hit by something or knocked off a bench. I decided long ago that glass and ceramics are a no-go, especially for camping. I was thinking about the perfect mug that could be used at home AND on camp trips. the specs were fairly simple: hold at least 16 oz and be able to hold hot/cold for a decent amount of time (didn't have to be as long as yeti and Stanley since I drink pretty quick) and I needed it to be robust and easy to clean. it also needed to be comfortable as a lot of mugs I've used had weird and uncomfortable handles. I came across the Tuff Mug and was intrigued. My immediate joy was that it is all stainless and had a knurled handle. After more reading, I saw that it was a knurled handle like a dumbbell and it started to sound like the mug was directed more towards "gym bros". I was getting ready to continue on with my search when I realized that it did seem to be exactly what I was looking for and who cares who its marketed for if I like it. I went on and ordered it and once it arrived, I haven't been able to put it down...
Its heavy duty and has a great feel and I can even use the handle with gloves on because the handle is spaced well from the body of the mug. Its fairly heavy and feels very well made. Works great for hot and cold and has quickly become my mug for everything. I could easily use this mug to eat out of as well.
If anyone is looking for a really good mug, I would recommend this one
(amazon has it for less, of course...)
THIS mug paired with a long reach titanium spork...its really all you need for any trip!
