Need a Cup/Pot

I have a esbit stove that I carry on winter dayhikes to warm up some water for soup, coffee, etc.

I have been using my sierra cup, but the bottom of the cup is too narrow to fit securely on the stove. I keep spilling my water.

Does anyone know of a small cup or mug that will fit on one of these stoves? Something that holds 16 oz or so?

I'm not quite sure if this what you where thinking.

I have always used a stainless steel pot to heat water. Thinking of titanium. I use a Tupperware cup (w/snap lid) for all my beverages. I'm actually surprised it doesn't get hot. Over the years, I've gotten away from anything that I have to cook on the trail. I like ready-to-eat things with no clean-up, mess or down time. I actually rarely start a fire with the exception of canoe trips & very cold winter nights. (For back-up safety)

I absolutely have to have hot water on winter hikes. But I don't have an answer to Bacpac because even my little teflon coated 1-liter black pot slips. I scratched up the bottom and it helps a little, but I have to use my windscreen on the whitegas stove just to hold the pot on.

Snowpeak 600 Titanium Mug, holds 21 oz., weighs 2.8 oz., costs $30.

MSR Kettle, holds 28.75 oz., weighs 4.2 oz., costs $40.

I use the MSR as my main pot. The esbit stove can fit inside if the smell dosen't bother you.

I've been lusting after one of those Snowpeak 600 Single Wall Titanium Mugs, but $30 is crazy for a cup.
They sure are pretty!

Did anyone get one of those Jetboil doodads for Christmas? I'm on the lookout for a gear review.

That olicamp pot looks perfect. Thanks

I tried putting a nalgene bottle on my esbit. It did not fit either so maybe the Olicamp cup is not the answer either, but I like the concept of it.

I took an old hanger and cut two 'U' shaped pieces to fit over the esbit stove and my sierra cup fits fine now.

Why not replace the esbit stove with a smaller esbit stove - for example a pot support made of a cylinder of hardware cloth and inside the cylinder a supporting screen/platform for the esbit tab. Add a windscreen and it will probably out perform the stock esbit stove.

The esbit stove folds flat with fuel and my two pieces of wire inside.
