I just use cheap ordinary mugs - wrap them in tea towels for transporting.      OK we've not broken any when camping so far, but wouldn't be too upset if one did get broken.

Same here. Take a couple of spares in case you have an accident, be careful how you pack them, I don't see why you should be any more at risk of breaking a mug camping compared to being at home.

I got stainless steel (enamel coated) mugs from Wilkinsons last year.

The rim is stainless steel, and thin so it is similar to drinking out of a fine china cup.I too hate drinking out of melamine/plastic mugs, and I don't like big chunky ones either. For me these are perfect for my morning cuppa. I haven't seen them so far this year. as I would consider getting a couple more.

Fairly old post this, but I have just upgraded our camping mugs, as our old melamine mugs are shot at, although my trusty 15 year old Snow Peak Titanium double wall mug keeps going, but is realy intended for backpacking duties.

What I was looking for was a set of mugs with a pot like feel that could stand upto the riggers of camping.

First mug I came accros was the Arcoroc Daring 30cl (10oz) mug, nice soft white finish, but is still only porcaline, but is super strong and classed as proffesional crockery and even comes with a 3 year warranty against chipping, but is by no means indistructable afterall it is just a pot mug, not cheap at £3 each.

So my mug of choice was the Luminarc Bock 29cl (9.75oz) in a bright white finish and very slightly translutant. these mugs are made from a laminated glass material but almost have the look of porcaline and at just £1 each seemed a good buy, so have added 4 of them to our camping kit. They are classed as shock resistant, so although not indestructable they are arguably stronger than a porcaline mug.

And having just had a brew in one they definatley pass muster.

White glass mugs that are part of my Tesco Value set at 7.00 GBP for 4 x 4 settings (now discontinued).

Broke one so far since having them in 2007 by dropping it on a hard ground.
