Lots of good ideas.<br>
<br>
When I carried a Sierra Club cup (remember those), I used a screwdriver
and hammer to punch an indentation into the cup at the one cup (8 oz)
level.<br>
<br>
Now I carry a 300 ml titanium cup and I can eyeball the amount of water
I need close enough. Just start with a little less water, then add more
as needed.<br>
<br>
Of course one could always use metric measures and make using the .9l
pot and .3l cup easier. <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>
