Small portable stainless steel cup/mug?

Yanoflies on 22/03/2013 - 19:06

Now that I've got my vacuumed flask, I'm in need a cup to bring along in my bag so that I can sip hot tea at university. Anything come to mind? I'd prefer something small, without handles and with a cap.

      Looks a bit gimmicky, don't really like its fold-ability. And I doubt I'd be able to pour hot liquid into this … wouldn't be able to touch it.

      I guess I need an vacuumed cup, maybe something like:

        you could try this:

        It looks cool, and has a cover on it. I got mine for $5 bucks from Kogan when they had the pricing error. Does the job pretty well.

          Looks really rough, how's the build quality? Does the outside get hot if I pour hot liquid into it?

          It is a stainless steel mug, not a genuine Thermos mug or anything like that. The build quality is pretty good.

          The outside does get considerably warmer (but not hot) as you fill the cup. I think this is a characteristic of most cheap steel mugs.

          If you want a better version, you could try this mug from Anaconda
          $16 (this is probably the best pick)
          $9
          and one that's shorter but has a handle
          $9.74

    How about checking out the home wares section of an Asian grocery store or variety store. I have bought stuff like this in the past in places like Cabramatta (NSW), Springvale (Victoria), Victoria Street, Richmond (Victoria).. So cheap you don't mind buying multiples.

    Why stainless steel??? If for durability or indestructability, maybe consider wat I use….
    Check out ALDI catalogue for this week coming,Weds. 27th Mar. " Mug on the Go' $2.99.
    473 ml capacity,flip top silicone sealed lid,you can read the the rest.
    All I can say ,bought mine a few mths ago ,best buy ,very happy….AND CHEAP .

      I'll go check it out!

      A bit … ugly and maybe too big though.

      Anybody got any other ideas?

    I bought a stainless steel BOTTLE from Typo about 2 weeks back for $2.

    It's not a mug/cup but it does fit your description of no handle and a cap. It also had a mustard yellow faux leather around it but I took it off cause it was annoying.
