Kupilka 21 Classic Cup - Eco-Friendly and Durable Drinking Cup - Brown

I bought this cup after seeing one being used on Youtube. I know that may sound lame but it was highly recommended in the video. It also looked cool....and is Finnish. We all know, if something looks cool and made in Finland AND seen on Youtube it must be good. Right...that's what they say right....don't they? Anyway, I had been in need of a drinking vessel of some sort to take camping for quite a while. I almost bough a standard aluminum cup but after seeing the Kupilka cup I changed my mind. It seemed like a more fun option. HEY, metal or thermoplastic impregnated with wood fiber as to give a cool "wood" look, which would you want? So I went out on a limb and bought two, one for myself and the second for my brother - he thought it was neat as well, and I am really glad I did. Aside from being a great gift, the cup is lightweight, perfect size for a cup of coffee - or tea...or water...or hot chocolate...you get the idea - and again the looks are pretty cool. The cup insulates quite well and you won't burn your hands when you put hot liquid into it. Rather, it nicely warms your hands when it's cold out. Kupilka cup works equally well for oatmeal or other cereal type food stuffs. It's a little small for a cup of Ramen, but as it is quite lightweight you can always bring an aluminum cup along to put over a fire/stove for soup cooking needs and not add too much extra weight. The little hole in the handle is perfect for a small paracord lanyard, leather strap or anchor point to wrap the handle...with paracord or leather. All in all I've found it to be a great addition to my equipment list. I'd recommend Kupilka cup for anyone looking for a unique piece of kit. I wish I could write more...but it's a cup. It holds liquid - hot or cold, I like it, I recommend it, it arrived in two days with Amazon Prime...oh and it's dishwasher safe. Buy away!

This has now become my everyday cup. Prior to this, i had a ceramic mug with a "manly" touch to it. it was my favorite mug until this one. I recently started getting more into bushcraft and i saw that bushcrafters would normally use a kuksa, but i just wasn't feeling comfortable using a wooden mug for my everyday beverage consumption. So...i looked up a synthetic alternative and came across this, and I'm glad i did. this cup is actually made of natural plant fibers and resin, and it's biodegradable, so it technically fits the overall theme of bushcraft. Another cool thing is that when you have a hot beverage such as tea or coffee, the mug will insulate you from the heat and it's safe to touch. it's also very durable, and just very cool. Plus, it comes with a little teaspoon, which i wasn't expecting. Now, it is on the small side so if you want something that can accommodate more of your beverage of choice, they also have a larger size. Overall, i give this item two thumbs up. It is on a pricey side as far as mugs are concerned, but compare it to a kuksa, it's actually very reasonable. Plus, this cup i think is durable enough that it will last you for many years. i highly recommend it.

I like this cup. It is a fun item to have in your kit. If you are a traditional bushcrafter who prefers a wooden kuksa then you probably wouldn't like this cup, but if you're more modern then; Pros: easy to clean, dishwasher safe, will not absorb odors or flavors like wood may, won't easily crack or break, nice old world style kuksa with modern practicality. Cons: I think a little pricey for a cup, has a faint odor that does dissipate after a couple of weeks, cannot be placed anywhere near a fire like a metal cup can be, so not a versatile in that respect.

I like everything about this Kupilka cup. I don't know where to start. I bought its little brother which seemed like a shot glass and liked the design and material, so I bought this one for more practical backpacking use. The size of this cup and the fit to my hands is perfect. The ladle style handle is comfortable and practical as well. It has a very nice look in the woods, is extremely light and easy to clasp right to the outside of my pack. Is perfect for a cup of coffee or soup. Also received a spoon with my purchase, its nearly weightless. Very easy to clean and a great conversation starter. I love it

I am an avid hiker and backpacker and I bought this cup after seeing favorable reviews on some of the hiking blogs. I wanted to get a relatively inexpensive, but unique, gift for my girlfriend, as we set a $20 limit on Christmas gifts this year. I bought two, one for me and the other for my girlfriend. I have been using mine at work and getting a lot of comments along the lines of, "What in the world is that thing?" One guy said, "It looks like the kind of cup Jesus would use." It is definitely an attention getter. Don't know if I will use it for backpacking, as there are lighter options, but I have to say that I like the thing and have become quite attached to my "Jesus Cup." It is made in Finland of half pine fiber and half plastic and at first it smelled a little like wet plywood, but the smell, which never bothered me in the first place, has dissipated the more I wash it. The ladle style handle has a different feel than a finger hole, but is surprisingly functional and I am getting used to it. All in all a functional, well designed, and unique little cup (holds 8oz) that would make a great gift.

I love this little cup. I used to be a "one pot" purist in the woods, everthing from coffee to mashed potatoes cooked and eaten out of the same oversized mug, but this thing is small and light weight, and I don't really begrudge the room it takes up in my pack, and it has alot of character and is really a pleasure both for morning coffee and evening scotch or wine. It's one of those things like a good knife, a well broken in pair of boots, or a walkingstick with alot of miles on it that makes no sense from a UL backpacking standpoint, but will become a trusted friend and something you can't imagine heading out without.

It's a nice cup. It looks like a kuksa, kind of. I seen a lot of good reviews on it playing it up. It looks plastic, like there is no wood in it at all. It gets hot when hot beverage is in it (unlike some youtube reviews have said). It is very difficult to pack because of the handle that sticks out. and if you want it for a traditional bushcraft look, well it isn't that. If you are not getting it for the traditional look, there are better options. So in conclusion, I would not recommend.

it feels like the plastic/composite its made of. it looks pretty rustic. Its a bitbigger than a tea cup, smaller than a regular coffee cup. The spoon is teaspoon sized For what it is, its very nice. Its a cute gift for the hippy in your life - or the treehugger in you I like it and will probably buy more for gifts

El precio elevado, de acuerdo. Pero cada vez que me tomo un café en ella en el monte, es un placer. Después de usar tazas de titanio, plástico, aluminio. esta es mi favorita y predilecta. Su textura forma de coger y aspecto la hacen especial.

Die Tassen sind gut der ursprünglichen finnischen Holz-Tasse nachempfunden und zweckmäßig im Gebrauch!

GENIAL ! La meilleure tasse de rando que je n'ai jamais testé. Je n'en veux plus d'autre ! J'en ai deux et je les utilise même à la maison. Le look est super mais ce n'est pas l'essentiel. La matière composite (résine/bois) est virtuellement incassable, légère, agréable au touché. Cette tasse à l'avantage de ne pas vous vous brûler les lèvres quand vous buvez du café/thé chaud. Je les utilise régulièrement depuis 3 ans et elles sont comme neuve. Même après de nombreux passage au lave vaisselle.

These are ridiculously expensive because of shipping, but if you want one that's the price you pay, I did.

The texture of the cup and the curve are just perfect. Feels good whenever you drink. But only one thing to be aware is the color of the cup will change either darker or lighter.
