View Full Version : Looking for a cup to nest a 1L Nalgene
Has anybody found a metal cup big enough to sit a 1L Nalgene in ?
Internal diameter please if you've got it handy :bigok:

GSI Alpine Stainless Steel cup did fit - I remember reading somewhere they've made them a bit narrower though.
Alpkit ti mug fits
Yes I have the Alpkit TI mug and it works fine. It's a bit loose as it comes, so wrap some duct tape around the bottom of the Nalgene bottle for a snug fit - handy emergency source of duct tape too
NS
Cheers guys
By Ti Mug I take it you're refering to their Mytimug ?
That'll be a pressy to myself :)

The Snow Peak Mini Solo Cookset fits, and adds a bit more versatility.

Shewie,
I have a Tatonka 500ml Stainless steel mug (with folding handles) which fits perfectly under a Nalgene 1 litre bottle. The internal diameter of the mug is approx 93mm. Probably a bit cheaper than Ti.
Hope this is of help.

I think I was looking at those on the Tamarack site a few days ago, very tempted.
i have a titanium 750 ml with lid which i think i bought from lightweight gear or somthing the shop was called on the internet and i think it was made by vango but it fitted a treat hope this helps

That will be this one I think: http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product91.asp it actually says it fits the nalgene bottle :)
No connection, I've just heard good things for that website.
:Dhow right you are and still the same price i paid ages ago for it hows that
i can say this has been a fantastic mug not wide enough to stir stuff propperly i think but that can be said for any mug the same size
:You_Rock_

The Ti mugs have gone up a lot in price in a couple of years. I think the one above is exactly the same design as the old Mytimug from Alpkit (I think newer ones have an all metal lid). They used to be £15.
I use a snow peak ti cup but I forget the size.

I have the one from backpacking light.
It's made by Vargo
Great piece of kit.
It also fits in the bottle pocket of my Jumbo versipak which makes it even more versatile (....well to me anyway :bigok:)

Perfect mate, that's exactly what I want it for.
I'll get one ordered.
I use one of the american ones designed for it in SS about 500ml. There sometimes called space saver cups and found on the bay. Have to pay some postage mind but they combined mine as you can also get all the nalgene stuff too.
Cracking mug, and wilcos do a ss storage tin with a lid that fits the mug perfectly.
I have one of those cups Addo mentioned. They are called "Olicamp Space Saver Cups". They are made of stainless steel and have measuring marks on it. They will hold up to 16 ounces of liquid. The Nalgene bottles used to have BPA in them. The new ones do not and are virtually identical except they are just a hair bigger which results in a slightly tighter fit for the cup. But with either bottle they are a good match because they fit on the bottle firmly so you can pick the bottle up by the top and they won't fall off and they will not rattle around and make noise. The handles are a little flimsy and are removable if you want. The cups (or at least mine was) are manufactured in India. I have only found them in one store in my area but they are widely available on the internet.
They are also sized right so that you can use one on a partially opened Esbit cooker- but take care because the bottom of the cup is very smooth and could slide off if you don't put it on carefully.
I used to carry a US military canteen and cup in in my hiking pack everywhere I went but lately I have been carrying the Nalgene bottle and Olicamp cup since it is a bit lighter. If I am out walking I usually carry a Camelbak but I always carry the canteen or Nalgene bottle in case the Camelbak were to develop a leak. This could happen as result of a puncture, or a rubber o-ring wearing out -(that happened to me once on holiday so I carry an extra.). With the Nalgene bottle I have both a backup watter carrier and a watertight container to carry survival items.
Gone for the Vargo Ti off Bobs site.
Thanks all for the advice.
here it is on the Esbit cooker

Above is a link for another store that sells the Vargo. When in stock it seems to be as cheap as anywhere. Note that these Ti mug/pots take longer to boil water than Al pots and the handles are in the line of fire so to speak if using on wide burning gas or meths stoves indeed any stovbe with a flame slightly wider than the pot. It does cool down in a minute or so. Solution is duct tape on the handles and around the lip area for drinking. Also a charity wrist band apparently makes for a very good lip guard to prevent burnt lips from the hot pot/mug.
All tips gleaned from use (sometimes painful use) and from forums elsewhere. Feel free to use. :)
Vargo mug, nalgene bottle and a steripen for purification make a neat solution for a brew kit, especially with a optimus crux stashed in the base of a small gas can. Collect the water near your brew stop too. I admit to liking stuff that nest to take up less space in a sack, lighter and more compact the better.
