Forgot my kettle yesterday but was travelling light. Thought to just put my metal mug directly on the stove and it worked well. So much so that I don't want to go back to the kettle when fishing without the barrow. Tea stayed hot longer in the heated mug and made a nice hand warmer.
Occurred to me there might be a camping mug for this specific purpose given the convenience. Only things I'm missing is a lid to reduce heat loss and an insulated handle.

Make sure it's a single layer mug and not a double layer insulated mug. It will explode if it's a double layer.. Also you can get silicon lips to go on the titanium mugs to protect your lips from burning.

Done it for years backpacking, titanium single wall the best, think mines Lixada, Alpkit in the uk do a similar one 650ml from memory, fits a 100g gas canister, tiny £10 titanium stove, foldding titanium spoon and lighters all you need, get one of this charity silicone bracelets to put around the rim to protect your lips. Bladder and water filter and you've a proper lightweight piece of kit.

Yes but have you seen our Kevin Ellis cup ? Lovely geezer but total disgrace drinking out of a frigging plastic cup ???
He clearly has no conception of how nice a decent cup tastes out of a China mug

The lid does make a difference to the boil time IMO
But you can pick them up cheap enough of eBay
