Kupilka Cup

This has now become my everyday cup. Prior to this, i had a ceramic mug with a "manly" touch to it. it was my favorite mug until this one. I recently started getting more into bushcraft and i saw that bushcrafters would normally use a kuksa, but i just wasn't feeling comfortable using a wooden mug for my everyday beverage consumption. So...i looked up a synthetic alternative and came across this, and I'm glad i did. this cup is actually made of natural plant fibers and resin, and it's biodegradable, so it technically fits the overall theme of bushcraft. Another cool thing is that when you have a hot beverage such as tea or coffee, the mug will insulate you from the heat and it's safe to touch. it's also very durable, and just very cool. Plus, it comes with a little teaspoon, which i wasn't expecting. Now, it is on the small side so if you want something that can accommodate more of your beverage of choice, they also have a larger size.Overall, i give this item two thumbs up. It is on a pricey side as far as mugs are concerned, but compare it to a kuksa, it's actually very reasonable. Plus, this cup i think is durable enough that it will last you for many years. i highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing item...if you have a reason to own it. I got this for re-enactment and LARPs (hah!) where atmosphere-correct cookware that looks the part, is washable, and doesn't burn your hands is the holy (literal) grail. The Kupilka Cup fills these needs, looking at home on any pirate's belt, Viking camp stump, Colonial Militia table, or other fantastic setting.Has maintained looks and washability through 4+ years of hard use, including multiple instances of being rolled over on rocks by a large man in plate mail, dropped, tossed in a trunk with coffee dregs still inside, and generally abused.I don't really know why you'd buy one of these instead of more conventional wares if you didn't 'need' the looks, but you have the reason (or just the want) it's exactly as advertised.

I love this cup. It's constantly clipped to my bag, and gets used almost daily. Lightweight, durable. I don't have to worry about breaking it. I have purchased many more for family and friends and they also love it.It has a bit of a pine tar smell/taste, doesn't bother me though.UPDATEThe pine tar smell/taste has gone away. So it appears to have a break in period.

It's not the lightest cup for camping and hiking, but it is the coolest. I've used this cup for many years for eating and drinking. Unlike the traditional wooden Kuksa, this cup can be washed with soap, so it can handle oily foods and milk whereas you would NEVER have any of those things in an all wood cup. I even 'branded' the bottom of the cup with the Philmont cattle brand...makes a great souvenir.

One of my favorite purchases a few years ago. It's become a signature item for me. I use it outdoors, it goes with me even on a short day hike. I drink coffee out of it on Sunday mornings at home. I drank scotch out of it at my wedding and you can see it in a few of my wedding photos.It is sturdy. I replaced the natural cord it comes with some leather I can take on or off. I normally have it hanging in camp or secured to my pack when walking. It insulates enough with hot drinks in it that you will not burn your lips or hand.You could do well enough with any old plastic cup for outdoors drinking, or a nesting cup, or some such. I'm a simple guy and I like my outdoor gear simple and multi-use. This cup is a guilty pleasure, one of the few "premium" items I take with me on my outdoor adventures.

it feels like the plastic/composite its made of. it looks pretty rustic. Its a bitbigger than a tea cup, smaller than a regular coffee cup. The spoon is teaspoon sizedFor what it is, its very nice. Its a cute gift for the hippy in your life - or the treehugger in youI like it and will probably buy more for gifts

I like this cup. It is a fun item to have in your kit. If you are a traditional bushcrafter who prefers a wooden kuksa then you probably wouldn't like this cup, but if you're more modern then; Pros: easy to clean, dishwasher safe, will not absorb odors or flavors like wood may, won't easily crack or break, nice old world style kuksa with modern practicality.Cons: I think a little pricey for a cup, has a faint odor that does dissipate after a couple of weeks, cannot be placed anywhere near a fire like a metal cup can be, so not a versatile in that respect.

Awesome cup! Came with a spoon, nice touch. Fraction of price of a 'real' wooden bushcraft mug, and not prone to rotting/bacteria/odors/whatnot. Going to love having this at my desk during the work week, and on weekends out in the woods.

Nice

These are ridiculously expensive because of shipping, but if you want one that's the price you pay, I did.

Wanted something durable for camping which reminded us of trip to Lapland- and this is perfect!Only room for improvement would be the addition of a reindeer hide/sinew/leather strap to hang it up with- that would have been a nice touch!

Lovely product and comes with a spoon too!

Great kit

It's a lot smaller than i expected it to be. Still a talking point while out camping though

Purchased for a gift recipient very happy

very good cup, very strong with a free spoon cant be bad

Good

My husband bought this for camping and he won’t shut up about it. It’s a problem. He takes photos of it. I’ve never seen a grown man react this way to a beverage vessel. If you have a mountain man in your life, buy him one of these. But buckle up, you’ll be hearing him talk about it for the next 20 years.

Kupilka produziert schon lange diese Tassen und jeder Nordlandreisende wird sie in den Geschäften Finnlands schon gesehen haben...Kuksas sind die klassischen Gefäße der Samen...oft im Miniformat am Gürtel baumelnd(für hochprozentiges) oder als große Universaltasse. Gefertigt sind die aus Birkenknollen....Kupilka hingegen fertigt sie aus einer Polypropylen-Holzmischung(Spritzguss mit vorheriger Holzspaneinstreuung.)dies macht die Tassen sehr stabil und hygienisch...herunterfallen, draufteten...alles kein Problem! (Holzkuksas hingegen leben ihr eigenes Leben....Risse, Undichtigkeit, Eigengeruch....und sollten pfleglich behandelt werden)Vielseitige Begleiter:Wasser schöpfen, Müslischale, Beerensammler, Tasse, Becher, Zahnputzbecher, Messbecher(ohne Skala) ...in Skandinavien ideal-an jedem Bach kurz halten-Tasse eintauchen-trinken!Die Tasse kann auch noch bearbeitet werden(Initialien, glattschleifen,...)Meckern: Auf den Fotos ist die Holzeinstreuung immer perfekt-in der Realität schwankt diese (zu) sehr stark! Beim Löffel okay(Stabilität) sollte aus optischen und Gewichtsgründen bei der Tasse mehr Holz heinhaltet sein! Der Löffel könnte einen Tick größer sein. Preis ist sehr hoch(schon in Finnland etwa 15€...aber hier nochmals..) und es gibt keine Angaben zum Kunststoff-bzw lebensmitteltests..Fazit: im Gegensatz zur Holzkuksa ist diese preiswerter und deutlich stabiler+ pflegeleichter bei holzähnlichem Charakter. Isoliert gut und ist extrem praktisch und vielseitig...aber auch deutlich teurer als eine Wilbo-Berghaferl...

So far I’ve only used it for tea but the cup is sturdy, has no problem with being dropped, transmits heat enough to warm your hands , and I love that it’s recycled material All good! I Had a couple of small issues with the order but thanks to the great staff of Passion 4 Outdoor - Amazon Marketplace those issues were quickly resolved.Thank You

oggetto leggero e pratico, ottima alternativa alla tradizionale tazza in legno, soprattutto per questioni di pulizia e praticità.

Cómoda taza. Perfecto para llevar a la montaña y disfrutar de una taza caliente de té o café.

Habe lange mit dem Gedanken gespielt mir eine Kupilka Tasse zu kaufen. Meine Wahl ist dann auf diese gefallen und ich bin echt Begeistert, sie ist auf meinen Wanderungen mein dauerhafter Begleiter. Würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen!
