​Best tripping coffee mug?

Mess kit with my coffee mug - a refillable mug from a Disney trip 20-years ago with the kids.



For me it is two cups of coffee in the morning before we leave, and then I am good. It goes in the red bag so i can find it at the next campsite - its the only thing that I have that is red.

i make and drink my coffee in a nalgene with a filter attachment (filter screws onto where the lid goes, lid screws onto the filter). the nalgene also serves as my duck tape roll, and a water bottle from mid-morning to evening if needed.

I usually have two cups and I've thought about working out a system where I could have the second cup in the boat, but most of the trips I go on are in Utah and western Colorado and, by the time we launch, it's usually getting warm already and a hot cup of coffee doesn't sound that appealing. Iced coffee anyone?

This reminds me of the plastic mug my dad uses, he picked it up from an Art Van (a Michigan/Midwest furniture store for those unfamiliar) probably before I was born and I’m 39. He’s used it on every car ride or vacation, still to this day I’ll see him using it. His reasoning is that it just works and has always fit in cup holders. Must be his version of a he perfect mug.

I also use the hydro flask insulated. I have had to buy replacement seals and a new lid (had it ~15yrs), but it works better than both yeti tumblers i have (small ~12oz mug and big 32oz tumbler, both were free), mostly because the lid is a better design. Coffee goes cold after maybe an hour, but that is in freezing temps. In summer it keeps coffee hot for a good part of the day. I have a 14oz. Lid screws on, spill proof flap snaps shut and doesn't leak. If you are just hanging around camp or sitting for a coffee break anything will work like had been said. I have even used the enamelware steel that will cool your coffee down almost as fast as pouring the coffee out in the snow! Just drink faster...

I’m a tea guy, I have a yeti that I’ve had since they came out. It lives in my truck. I also have both a large and small stainless vacuum thermos the OR made way back in the day. I use both of those weekly. I’ll never get rid of those. They have been on the top of a lot of mountains, I don’t know how many canoe trips, and how many climbing and mountaineering trips. They are dented and stained, the plastic linings of the cups have been re glued to the shell countless times.
