Snow Peak Ti-Single 450: the titanium mug you can cook in
Checked on . Erika & Joe.
Our verdict
The Snow Peak Ti-Single 450 is the mug to buy if you want one ultralight cup that also boils water. Snow Peak says it's made of Japanese titanium, weighs 2.4 oz, holds 15.2 fl oz, and can go straight over a heat source [1]. It's $29.95 at Snow Peak, which advertises a lifetime guarantee [1]. The downsides come with single-wall titanium: the rim gets hot enough that one owner added a silicone band to protect their lips [4], and wood-fire soot is hard to clean off [2]. If you want hot drinks to stay hot, a double-wall mug is the alternative, though you can't put it on a flame.
The short answer
The Snow Peak Ti-Single 450 Cup (MG-143) is a $29.95 single-wall titanium mug [1]. It weighs 2.4 oz (70 g), measures 3.3 in across and 3.6 in tall, holds 15.2 fl oz, has folding handles, and can be placed directly over a stove or fire [1]. Snow Peak advertises a lifetime guarantee [1]. Owners boil water in it without trouble but warn about a hot rim and sooty cleanup [2][3][4]. Checked 2026-10-16.

What it does well
Light. 2.4 oz [1] is barely noticeable in a pack.
It's a pot too. Snow Peak says it can go directly over heat [1]. Owners say it's fine over a flame [2], and one boiled water in a 450 ml single-wall mug on a stove [3].
Packs small. Folding handles tuck away, so it packs flat against other gear [1].
Lifetime guarantee. Advertised on the product page [1], with service details on Snow Peak's warranty page [5]. Snow Peak lists the empty cup at 2.4 oz [1].
Pairs with Snow Peak's stove. Snow Peak suggests the GigaPower stove and titanium spork with it [1].
Where it falls short
Hot rim. Single-wall titanium passes heat straight to the lip. An owner added a silicone band to stop burns [4].
Soot. Wood-fire residue is hard to clean off [2].
No insulation. Drinks cool faster than in a double-wall mug, and a double-wall mug can't go on a stove.
No lid. None is listed with the cup [1], so boiling takes longer and wastes fuel.
SKU confusion. The URL and the spec SKU differ [1].
Who it's for
Who should skip it
- People who sip slowly and want drinks hot. A double-wall mug suits them better.
- Anyone who hates hot rims [4].
- Group cooks. 15.2 fl oz [1] boils water for one. Car campers might prefer the Lodge skillet for real meals.
Using it in the desert and at camp
Boiling water. It can sit over a stove [1]; fill it no higher than a finger below the rim so it doesn't boil over.
Fire use. Owners say it's fine over flame, but soot sticks [2]. Use a stove when you can.
Hot rim. Let it cool a minute or add a silicone band, as one owner did [4].
Midday heat. Titanium left in desert sun gets hot to the touch. Keep it in the shade.
Water conservation. Clean it with sand and a wipe at dry camps; Snow Peak's care guide covers routine care [6].
