A very well-balanced, succinct review that hit all the points of interest to me. Thanks! I found that Snow Peak makes a nearly identical bowl called the Trek Bowl. It’s also 550 ml, same height of 6 cm, only slight difference in diameter (Keith = 13.7 mm vs. 13.5 mm for Snow Peak) and only slight difference in weight (Keith = 55 g vs. 52 g for Snow Peak. The interesting thing is the price. At Amazon in Germany, the S.P. is several euros cheaper. I‘m tempted to go with the S.P. But what I‘d really love is a 450 ml version of either brand, I would be using it mainly for soaking and eating my muesli in the morning, so a slightly smaller diameter would be fine, and lighter of course. I’d just use it to pour hot water over my muesli from my S.P. Titanium Trek 700 pot that doubles as a tea mug. That way I can keep the cooking pot/tea mug clean and have muesli and tea at the same time. :-) Plus the bowl will come in handy for shared food, an occasional salad, chunks of cut bread or cheese, or even special tasks like scooping water from shallow sources or soaking toes in need of salts or disinfecting. ;-)
Good review. I got my first Keith mug 2 months ago and now I have 3 more items from Keith on the way. Imo Keith is the most affordable and best quality titanium stuff.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS ADRESSING THE CLOGING ISSUES of those stupid seams, ill buy one of these mugs too, probabbly keith since snowpeak would be pain with shipping unfortunatrly, but i also want that keith titanium fry pan, but it has that stupid bend edge, ig ill just hammer it flat or idk terrible design, its cookware, so it should have minimal amount of seams to keep nice and clean
Thanks for the review. I had never heard of them until I got a Keith 900 Cookset with frypan lid and a spork as a gift. A surprising thing about this cookset is that it can be used as a double boiler. Not sure if I will ever utilize this feature but it would be good for at least warming stuff up. So far I love the Keith brand. I was about to order the smaller double wall mug with a lid but decided on the bigger one now. I was carrying a ziplock container but I think I'll give that up for now. They have a titanium coffee drip listed on their website but I can't find it online anywhere yet.
The US metal manufacturing industry maintains two levels or grades of quality for food grade titanium-1 and 2 with 1 being superior. I have no idea what grades those mugs are but that would be interesting to know.
After some years of use, do you still like the 600 mug with lid? How is the lid holding up, is it tight? I am considering using this for rehydrating freeze dried food - and figure that when hiking a week, the extra weight of the double wall design is countered by weight savings on simple plastic bags instead of the ones made for rehydrating the food directly in the bag. Any thoughts?
Awesome! I've been looking for a "large" insulated titanium food container! I'm thinking of rehydrating lunch in the morning before breaking down camp with the hope that lunch will be ready and still warm on the trail. How long does the 600 double wall Keith typically keep things hot? How secure and leakproof is that Keith lid?
@@fish9468 Hi! Since I was trying to avoid plastic, I ended up getting Snow Peak’s 600 mL double wall titanium cup when I discovered that a silicone/Pyrex lid that I already had fit it quite well.
Also i would recoment i guess clean kanteen insulated waterbotthle that tk-wide , it got plastic lid, but contact points with inside it has stainless basically sheet so all liquid is in stainless, and well, i never drank crom id directly, but i left that bottle with clean water in it for about 5-6weeks in about 17degrees celsius in garrage, n after that i found it n opened it , n it still had that clean stainless smell like damn, but still ill look into some titanium stuff probably that vargo bot, since its all titanium, u can sterilise it w fire in nature even cap, n has wide top, tbh idk why pll still buy these small top bottles, u need it at least size of ur hand to fit so u can clean it.
