help identify this cup please

[moccasintracks]

here it is

I got this cup years ago, and just found it in an old boy scout backpack from mom's house I was going through.

it fits perfectly on a pepsi can stove.

Pity I did not know about them back then.

Anyway I am making a stove, and plan on taking
this out for a test.

If it works out as well as it did at home, I would like to get another.

One unique thing is the top 1/2 inch or so is a different metal that does not get to hot to sip even just after coming off the fire / having hot coffee / tea poured into it.

Any one know what it is?

Thanks in advance

Jim

P.S.


I hope the pic prints, but if not the link should show it.

Am I missing out how to show pics?

tnx j.

I think that is what is known as a "Sierra cup" - other than that I have no idea....

thank you I just looked em up and that seems to be what I have.

I can get em online for about $5

Any one else have experience with these?

Any better alternatives at similar low cost, that I can use over a alcohol stove?

Could it be a Coghlan's Stainless Steel Sierra Cup? The handle looks similar (although your's looks more curved or bent?!) and it has the cool lip that you referred to...

Hi,

How about a titanium version from Snow Peak for $17:95.

Hi Jim, you are lucky living in the states, a lot of stuff is cheaper out there. Forget the Titanium, a 200ml cup is not up to much and its a rip off at eighteen dollars. For a pop can stove or similar, why not go for

Eight dollars plus delivery

The stove base works well, I've used one with a pop can stove and a standard Trangia burner, both worked well, and the mug is big enough to heat MRE's and hold enough liquid for a good sized drink without having to refill as you do with those little Titanium things. Don't forget you can also burn those Tri Ox bars you can pick up cheap over there with you

It seems like every American trekker I have met has a Sierra Cup.
Every S. cup that I've used I have found to be very unstable and, no, I wouldn't buy one
