Pretty good cup/bowl

Rating:*****
I picked this up because I also have the bowl. I carry them in my backpack to work and the university along with a can of soup, beans, or whatever else I might pack for my meals. If you let water sit in the cup for about 10 minutes it will start to taste like plastic, not terrible but noticeable. I have a regular water bottle so I typically drink other liquids - tea, coffee, juice, etc. - in the cup so it works fine. I've cooked peas, instant oatmeal, and cereal in it as well. Very easy to clean. I also use the cup to fill up my water bottle if it can not fit under the spout of the fountain or the sink. It is lightweight and collapsable, fitting neatly inside the bowl. I saw that if I had bought the bowl and cup together it comes in a nice zipper carry case but it works fine without in my backpack because I keep it in a flat front zipper pocket without much space to shift around. The silicon is firm enough that it will stand by itself with any worries of tipping over or collapsing. I've used it (and the bowl) in the microwave without any i'll effects. The post below, by Packrafter, has some very cool videos about baking with the cup and I think I will be giving those a try pretty soon. Overall I get a lot of use out of the cup and am happy with my purchase. Although I mostly use it at work and school, I have brought it out on some camping trips for my friend to use because he did not have his own mess kit and it worked perfectly.

Awesome Mug!

Rating:*****
I wrote a similar review for the sea to summit bowl:

I think its fantastic myself. Its lightweight and holds quite a bit of liquid. I also like that this fits into the center of the sea to summit bowl when collapsed. The two combined take up almost no room in my pack and can fit into so many places. I mostly use this over 2-4 day trips. I have not had any of the issues others have reported about smell/stain/taste with this bowl. I have been with others using this on my trips and they all love it too. With that all said, I think its a toss up between this and the guyout squishy bowl/cup which has the advantage of being .2 ounces lighter and $11 cheaper but holds significantly less than the sea to summit cup/bowl (22oz oz vs 16oz for bowl, and 16oz v 6oz). Plus the sea to summit has the convenient measuring marks in the bowl and cup. So the size plus measuring marks made the difference for me, but I don't think you're wrong with the Guyout either. It depends on your wants/needs.

multi-purpose

Rating:*****
I was looking for a small water bowl for my dog - and was lamenting the fact that travel bowls for dogs are not easily washed. So I headed over to the camping aisle and found this. It is absolutely perfect and can even be formed into a mini 'dog dish' shape. I love that it folds flat for the glove box, and can fit in my pocket for day hikes with the pooch. The best part??? It is about half the price of bowls made for dogs!

Flat = Space-saving + lightweight

Rating:*****
Regular cups/mugs are bulky and heavy. This thing is amazing as it flattens - takes very little space and weighs just 2.1 oz. Flattened, it fits into my cook pot but expanded it's a full 2-cups large. It even has measuring-cup markings. I drink hot coffee in this and there is no plastic taste and I can hold the cup by the rim and not get burned. I love it.

Compact usefulness

Rating:****
I appreciate how this folds down to nothing and takes up almost no space. The many graduated markings help when you need to know exactly how much liquid you are adding to a freeze dried meal. It protects my digits from hot liquid and is easy to clean. From whiskey, beer, coffee, & crystal light - I've not had any residual smells after I cleaned it. Dishwasher safe too!

great with bowl

Rating:****
Not as awesome as the X-bowl, and if I didn't have the bowl I might not get one of these, but the nestling feature makes it worth it. works well for everything I tried, but a cheap plastic GSI cup would do it too, or a nalgene-type cup. never had a taste or smell stick around, even with tea, hot chocolate, and some ungodly combinations of booze.

Love it!

Rating:****
Great for travel to Europe where there is very little "to go" available. We love to buy a bottle of wine a hunk of cheese and bread instead of lunch in a restaurant...so this is a perfect, no bulk wine glass!

Trail Baking with the Sea to Summit X-Mu

Negative Reviews:

absorbs smells

Rating:**
I just got back from a 10-day bike trip and brought this along as my general purpose mug/bowl. Loved it for the first two days but after that the smell became intolerable and I reverted to my stainless mug. It was used for: Coffee, Wine, Whiskey, rice & beans. I rinsed it in water and a little camp soap after each use. Now no amount of scrubbing gets the smell out. I think it would make a good dog bowl.

Two cups not the same

Rating:**
For the most part these cups are practical, however we own two of these and much to our suprise while in the back country we figured out that the two cups were not the same size even though the graduated markings on the inside stated otherwise. They both say 2 cups but one is about 1/3 of a cup smaller (measured it when we got home). Disappointing from Sea to Summit.

Neutral Reviews:

Good design/Smells like dishwasher soap

Rating:***
I washed this in the dishwasher with everyday dishwasher soap. Now it smells/tastes like the soap. I like the design of this product. I won't clean it with dishwasher soap again, and hope the smell leaves eventually. I have yet to try lemon juice. I did not notice any cleaning recommendations on the packaging etc. so that is a negative.
