I recently got a mytimug and have been very impressed with it. I first used it with a Super Cat Alcohol Stove and have since graduated to a Simplified Zen Sideburner Stove. Details below.

Combined with a simple lightweight alcohol stove, it’s a great lightweight “quick brew” solution.
I’ve used an Army crusader mug in the past and the biggest problem with that was “rattly handles” (which the mytimug seems to overcome very well) and no lid.
I’m currently using a bit of string to keep the lid on in transit - any chance of some sort of clips attached to the lid for this? The well-defined lip on the mug is useful for attaching a heath robinson bale arm for suspending over a fire - any chance one could be included in the future?
got one of the mugs and think it is great very lightweight and durable
I bought one of you titanium mug/pans at the York cycle rally. Most impressed with the price which is even cheaper than having someone fetch back snow peak pans from the USA. However when I got home I noticed the wall thickness is quite high so I compared your pan to the pans I was going replace which are a pair of old camping gas globe trotter pans. These TWO aluminium pans together only weigh about 10 grams more than your titanium pan. They each hold about 1 pint like yours does so on balance I will continue to use my old pans.
So my feedback on you product is:
Titanium is very very strong so cut down the wall thickness by at least 50% and halve the weight. The height/ diameter ratio is very good for the burner I use made from small hotel mini-bar type tins.
Make the lid multi use by making it into a mug about 30 to 40mm deep. Perhaps do away with side handles on the pan and use a simple wire bail. You could then probably increase the price significantly inline with these modifications.
Should you modify this pan then I would be happy to field test it for you.
