Yes, it is appropriate.
A 40 oz Klean Kanteen can be nestled in both the smaller and larger GSI cups. The cup's diameter is the same, but the height is different. You'll have to wrap tape or something around the bottle to keep it on the bottle, or put it in a sleeve if they don't fit snugly. It won't be an issue if you just put it in a pack to save space. This is just a heads-up.
I'm not sure what your 1 liter Nalgene bottle's outside diameter is, but if it's less than 3 3/4 inches, it'll fit in this cup. This cup has a 3 inch inside diameter. 75 inches in length
Selected User Reviews For GSI Outdoors Rugged Glacier Stainless Steel Bottle Cup 20 oz for Solo Camping and Backpacking, Small - 20oz (68214)
I took it camping with me and cooked in it several times on my backpacking stove with no problems. I filled it with creek water, built a fire around it, and boiled the water to make it drinkable. It was a little discolored when it came out of the fire, but it came through like a champ, a little discolored but none the worse for wear.
Fits a Kleen Kanteen 40 fairly well, though not perfectly. We are unable to comment on the durability of the product at this time.
Before purchasing this one, I had a standard size GSI nesting cup. The height is the only significant difference. It is made of high-quality materials. The larger size makes it easier to fit a can of chunky soup or a package of Ramen noodles while still leaving enough room to stir. It's ideal for work. Perfect for a camping trip. br>br>PS: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words " A 30 oz tumbler's lid fits perfectly.
According to the item's label, it's 20 oz, but it's actually 18 oz. It's a perfect fit for my Nalgene. After a week of camping, I'll give an update.
The stainless steel is quite thick, and it can only be flexed by squeezing it hard. The handles are well-made and dependable. Because the innermost part of the handle is hot, you'll need gloves to take it out of your backpacking store. If you want to drink from it, you'll need to wait for your coffee/tea/etc. to cool down because the cup's lip is hot. I've had a few small pots before, and this one is particularly nice. a strong category However, if you're using a white gas stove with limited flame control, make sure you keep stirring your oatmeal/potato pearls/noodles or they'll burn. For small pots on hot stoves, this is fairly common - Simply keep stirring. Because it fits my GSI insulted cup well, I chose the larger version. (Sorry, my crappy Apple computer is stuck in French/English mode, which results in some odd spellings. ) Anyway, the GSI insulted cup is my "bowl," which holds about 16 ounces and is suitable for breakfast and single-serving drinks. This larger stainless cup has the advantage of being able to boil about 22-ounces of hot meals and hot drinks or coups. Drink 24 ounces of water and consume 12 ounces of food. 16 times per meal, with a little hot water left over to clean your cup and spoon/utensels. (sp). This is a real winner if you're cooking alone or in the old-fashioned canteen cup style. It obviously fills a Nalgene bottle for those devoted old-schoolers. There are people out there like me who go to school. It'll probably last you a lifetime, and if you do burn your underwear, it'll be a minor inconvenience. Keep in mind that the cup contains hydrated ramen nodules. To remove the charred noodles or whatever else is stuck to the bottom of your GSI cup, mix baking soda with warm (not hot) water and gently scrub away. That's all there is to it for the time being. If you're a solo backpacker or prefer dehydrated meals, simple Knorr packets, ramen noodles, or mac-and-cheese, you can buy with confidence. There was cheese on the trail. Just keep that in mind. OR ELSE, STIR CONSTANTLY WHILE ON THE FLAME!.
My first bottle cup was great, but after about 6 weeks of heavy use, the rim cracked slightly. I contacted GSI and sent them a few photos, and they promptly sent me a replacement. It's one of my favorites as well. br>I think the cup is a fantastic little piece of equipment, and the company's customer service was excellent.
br>br>The Stanley cook set, which includes a lot more, is almost the same price and is much more useful. I believe that paying $14 for this large mug / small pot is excessive. br>br>Perhaps the ozark trail cup from Walmart, which costs $5, would be a better option.
This will fit a thermo flask perfectly, and everything can then be placed in a thermos carrier. Use this to cook food at night with your small fold-down rocket stove. Cook in the evening, eat half, and keep the rest warm enough to eat in the morning in your thermo flask. GSI is known for producing high-quality work. The only thing missing is a stainless steel lid. It would allow you to cook things faster while also reducing the amount of fuel you have to carry and gather.
