Review: A great, durable option for a compact cookset -- good choice for hiking/bushcraft - This Rothco G.I. Type Stainless Steel Canteen Cup mates perfectly with the (sold separately) Rothco Canteen Cup Lid. In fact, the lid snaps on for a friction fit! Paired with a Nalgene canteen bottle (which I love!), you have a very compact, durable hydration and minimalist cook set, albeit a little on the heavy side compared with some of the ultralight titanium cookset options on the market. If you're looking for the lightest possible option and money is not an issue, go titanium. If you're on a budget and don't mind the extra ounces of stainless steel, grab one of these lids and the matching canteen cup. It makes for a very durable set that won't rust. I noticed that another reviewer claimed this is not made of stainless steel and also mentioned a finish that is toxic when heated. If that person is being honest, he/she must have received a fake/substitute product. Both the Rothco canteen cup and the Rothco lid I received are definitely made from matte-finish stainless steel. There is no coating or other toxic substance, nor was there any of the whitish oxidization that can form on stainless in a high moisture, but oxygen starved environment (stainless steel needs air to maintain its oxidization/corrosion inhibiting properties). I mention the latter because if that reviewer happened to get one of these that had been stored somewhere wet while shrink-wrapped (or in some other way to suffocate the oxygen supply), it might produce a whitish, semi-chalky oxidization that could be mistaken as a toxic coating, I suppose. That seems unlikely, however, since my canteen did not come packaged in shrink-wrap. Anyway, thought I would mention that there seems to be misunderstanding/misperception--or possibly a fake knock-off--floating around. A few more thoughts on the tradeoff of weight vs. space savings. The weight of this canteen cup is 214 grams, with the lid (sold separately) adding an additional 60 grams. That's not bad for such a robust little container, especially if you're fine with minimalist cooking and planning to do most of it over a fire (where the durability will be especially appreciated), but it's certainly not "ultra light". If space is at a premium and you already carry a canteen, then this is the way to go, as it will fit right over the canteen without taking up extra space. However, to put the weight in perspective, the GSI stainless 1L kettle is actually slightly lighter at 245 grams (including its lid and integrated bail-style handle) and with its wider base is a little more convenient to cook from. So if you have space to spare and would like something a little more civilized in feel and elegant in look, then I would pass on this canteen option and consider the GSI kettle (which is even lighter in the "Haluilite" aluminum version, though I prefer the stainless steel version for fire cooking).
Review: Works great with the surplus canteen and canteen cover I already had. - Nostalgia - Do we really think things were better 30 years ago or we were just better off then? No aches and pains, no trick knee or shoulder, just young, dumb, unbridled enthusiasm for life and hot coffee. Which brings me to this item, a no bullshit, stainless steel cup with fold out handles. Strain the grounds, dirt, and occasional bug through your teeth, just like you did decades ago (if you served). Keep it hot by placing the cup directly on the grill. Can't do that with a plastic mug! Also, the cup is a complete cook system when paired with a metal spork of any kind. Lightweight and packs with my surplus 1 qt canteen and cover. Cheap at twice the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the fluid capacity of the cup itself?**
A: 3 Cups with a bit of room left over

**Q: I see conflicting comments below about where this is made; does anybody know the truth?**
A: When I purchased my stainless steel GI style drinking cup, I was more interested in obtaining a cup that would fit around the base of my canteen and that both of them would then fit inside the canteen pouch that would then fit my pistol belt.  I can see how, in today's politically charged environment, where it was made could in fact, be an issue when tasting the water that comes from it.  If you're looking to be politically correct don't buy this before your question is answered, if not, then go ahead and get this perfectly good stainless steel cup.  If you can keep a secret, no one will ever know.  Mine wasn't marked.

**Q: I want to buy this cup, and a nalgene BPA free tritan oasis 32 Oz  Narrow mouth bottle, do they fit together properly?**
A: Yes.  This is exactly like the canteen cups I was issued. The Tritan Oasis was made to fit the military issue cup. I saw one an Oasis in a shop a week or so ago and it is definitely the same size.

**Q: Handles get hot?**
A: used it over a fire not hot but did warm up

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cup
*by J***B on January 12, 2014*

Love this cup. Had one when I was younger, when I spent as much time as I could in the bush, camping, hunting and what not. I needed a new coffee cup for work and the truck. I also needed a new water bottle. Since I bought the GI style canteen, I got this to go with it. If your a backpacker, hiker, hunter, camper, or just spend time in country, this cup comes in very handy. Boil water to safely consume, make tea/coffee, and cook up what ever. Stows around the canteen, and slips into the canteen pouch. Is the only cup I have been using as of late. The cup itself is well constructed, better than aluminum. It is the heaviest duty camp pot/cup I have encountered in some time. Have put into open campfire, works great. I like it better than other mess kit pots on the market.
