I am trying to find a coffee cup that will hold a bit of heat, and not make the coffee taste like metal. I am not thrilled about putting really hot stuff in plastic, but it is not microwaving it, so that is something. I tend to brew with either a funnel or an aeropress, and will make it one cup at a time. Whats in your drybox/kitchen box or drybag? and hopefully it will fit in a cup holder for shuttle runs too
Favorite camping/boating coffee cup?

Be sure and let us know, I can't see any picture looking down on the cap, it appears that it might be one of those 180° flip thingies with a little hole.. I'm not much for engle coolers, put the cup does look similar to a yeti, except for the cap, which is why I really like my yeti...

I’m confused, the yeti tumblers I am aware of don’t have a locking lid?
It's called a maglock lid, it does stay firmly in place, but not a lock as such. Is really sweet as it removes, the sliding lock, for cleaning..

I have a Yeti...and the lids are interchangeable with my OT tumblers. It's definitely splashproof..if you tip the cup over, coffee won't spill but maybe a few drops.
If you tip the cup over violently, it's likely the entire cap will come off and it spills as much as ever. I would NOT put it in a pack if it had any risk of tipping.
If they had a screwtop, it would be 99.9% spillproof. The Contigo tumblers posted earlier in the thread are absolutely spillproof.

I dropped mine on the floor once and the cap held, didn't expect it to, but is a pretty good friction fit... I wouldn't put it in a pack and expect it to hold

A great friend gave me a Rtic cup, great great cup, keeps coffee hot for a long time. I always heat water up to boiling and heat the cup prior to adding the coffee, it works great for keeping coffee warm for 3-4 hrs.

River Day Beverage schedule and vessel transitions... 10:00 coffee to beer. 5:00 beer to whiskey. Regarding the other thread about beverage holders for paddle boats,,, that is a mini chalk bag in the middle that happens to be the perfect size to hold a beer can. I've had it for a couple of decades. It biners to the front of my PFD.

I'm a fan of the MiiR products. They work well. A portion of sales support community and environmental programs, and personalizing laser etching for about $10.
My personal favorite is the old school style of the Camp Cup camp. I've also got a taller, no handle cup of theirs with a spill prof lid for drinking on the go.

I use my Drinktanks pint cup daily on and off river. coffee in the am, then water, then cocktails... on the river it is coffee, then into the captains box until it is cocktail time, 'cause the beers are fine in the can. it also fits in a little sucker well enough to keep it in place on the box in class 2-3 rapids.

Our Story — Cortiça | Cork Coffee Mug
www.corkcoffeemug.com
Great coffee cup! inside is ceramic but protected by cork. I hate throwing away good coffee b/c it's cold. This allows you to nuke it no problem. The cork is also a great insulator keeping the coffee hot and your hands not. Eventually you'll have a dumbass moment and it'll break, but if it does break it turns back into bark and clay and goes back to the earth, unlike the aluminum/ plastic types. Only problem is it was made by a local rafter/good guy and he has since moved away and not sure if he's still making them. His website is still up so I'm hoping.
I'm a fan of the Yeti mug, cup itself seems the same as the Walmart version but the Yeti mag lid is awesome - very spill and splashproof, and the coffee stays warm for a couple hours. I like my hydroflask for water, I'm sure it would work well for coffee too. I also like the GSI Commuter. It's a metal mug and french press all in one. Coffee stays very clean with no grounds coming up and stays warm too. Great for making your own coffee on the go without having to worry about anyone else's coffee needs.
All great options. Regardless having hot liquids on board is imperative. When it's cold i make an extra thermos of tea and finish the first one before the transition time to real beer brewed in accordance to the German purity law of 1516. Most "beers" now are alcohol made from rice or corn and flavored for "taste" . Adulteration of products and consumables has been a problem for a long time. The Poison Squad is a good read that details the issues.

I have an older version of this. The lid is the same and virtually spill proof. Holds a big cup of coffee or a big cocktail for long term enjoyment. Keeps temps like a champ. Not sure about the new shape. The old one is a cylinder and fits in a (big) car cupholder not sure the new one would. However the wider base of the new one probably makes it more stable on the deck of the raft.

Google ceramic lined mugs. There are many options out there where the inside of a steel mug is ceramic lined.
One brand I like- - Sttoked sells great mugs ( sttoke.com) albeit pricey, they are solid and we love ours.
I also have one from Stanley and one from Contigo- both bought on Amazon. The Stanley is good, but it stained. The contigo did not, but someone said they got bought out.
they don’t leave a metalic flavor. I use a yeti for my cocktail mug.
