A superb coffee cup. I purchased one of these to replace my heavily worn out Yeti Rambler to use as my daily mug. I am very happy with my purchase. I received the anodized blue version. The finishing looks better in person and is incredibly light and easy to forget you are carrying it in your bag.

However, the price of $100 after tax is definitely a hard pill to swallow, even for titanium. Personally, if you are looking for a cheaper insulated titanium mug in this size, I would recommend the Snow Peak Ti-Double 450 with a lid, as that setup costs 30 dollars less, and you get slightly more volume capacity, but have to forgo the sturdy fixed handle and rubber base.

Pros
- Extremely light weight
- Very sturdy handle, very impressed to this type of handle welded onto titanium
- Mug has a nice rubber base that should help prevent most spills
- Lid fits cup very well and not too noisy
- Titanium has a very premium finishing
- Easy to clean, never have to worry about rust

Cons
- Expensive even compared to Snow Peak
- No lock on the lid.
- Doesn't insulate as well as stainless steel (doesn't bother me, as I usually finish my coffee in less than an hour)
- Made in China. I would have liked to see this made in Japan or U.S. at this price point.

To put some objectivity to Stanley’s claim that it keeps your drink hot for 2 hours, I tested this mug against a 14 oz Yeti Rambler starting with 12 oz of 180F water at 75F indoor ambient temperature. I took temperature readings every 15 minutes for 2 hours, and after 2 hours the Stanley water temp had dropped to 130F and the Yeti water temp dropped to 135F (about 10% less heat loss in the Yeti). In both cases the lids were left on the entire time, and for the Yeti, the mag-slider closure was left open to mimic the Stanley… For me personally, neither mug kept the contents “hot” after two hours, which in practice really doesn’t matter as I usually will finish a drink long before that.

I recognize that Stanley was keeping the weight down by using a single-piece plastic lid with no closure, but I would have preferred some type of closure to slow heat loss and reduce spillage if it is tipped over.

I do like the rubberized bottom on the Stanley and really wish that the Yeti had the same (could be a dirt magnet when camping, but nice to have if using it at home on hard surfaces).

The weight of this mug is nice, but overall I was underwhelmed. If I'm really looking to cut weight in the backcountry I'll continue to use one of my Sea-to-Summit non-metallic cups; and for car camping, I'll be sticking with the Rambler... particularly at a $93 price point.

I purchased the Nightfall (blue) colored mug. Positives: Love the color, light weight, high quality production, tight fitting lid, no-slip rubber bottom, and thermal properties. Negatives: High price, lid does not have a closing latch (mouth opening has no closure), you must hand wash, and cannot use it directly on the fire (mug has a rubber bottom). It was made in China, in case you're wondering.

The Stanley Titanium Camp Mug is clearly a well-made product. It's strong and sturdy.

It's a bit wider and shorter than other mugs I've used. That makes it well-balanced. So, while it's a bit too wide to fit in my truck's beverage holder, it didn't move when I placed it on the area in front of the holder - or even on a seat.

And it most certainly keeps a hot beverage hot and a cold beverage cold. I didn't test it for the full times listed (2 hours, hot; 3 hours, cold; 10 hours, iced). But I readily believe my beverage will maintain the temp I want it to be for as long as I desire.

One thing to note: The lid has an opening to drink through. You'll want to use that, especially with a hot beverage. I took a sip of a very hot cup of tea without the lid and I felt it.

The lid does not have a covering over that opening. So, if you knocked the mug over, its contents could spill out. Then again, given the mug's balance, it's probably harder to knock over than other mugs.

Sooo... given I have so many nice things to say about this mug, why only two stars? Two reasons:

* First, it weighs twice as much as the mug I've been taking backpacking. So, while I'll happily reach for this Stanley mug for home use and car camping, in my opinion it's too heavy to take with me on the trail.

* Second it's really pricey. Given its quality, I don't expect it to cost as little as the (plastic) mug I take backpacking. But I've seen other metal mugs (probably not as well insulated) that cost much less than this.

So, if money and weight are no object, the Stanley Titanium Camp Mug could work for you. If either of those is a show-stopper, though, you may want to consider a different product.
