Kept hearing about those expensive titanium camp mugs... but I finally caved on a trip to Utah

I was dead set against spending $35 on a titanium mug. Thought it was just a hype thing for people with too much gear. Then I took my old enamel mug on a 4-day hike in Canyonlands last October, and it chipped on day two. Picked up a Toaks 450ml at a shop in Moab out of frustration. Three trips later, no dents, no weird taste, and it actually cools my coffee fast enough to drink. Still feels dumb paying that much for a cup, but I can't go back now. Anyone else resist a piece of gear for years and then get converted?

The real win is they double as a tiny pot for boiling water.

Is it actually that practical though @val974, feels like a gimmick to me...

That tiny pot sounds too small to boil anything useful honestly.
