A Metal Cup is a small steel drinking cup that holds water and other drinks. It is kitchen gear rather than food. It holds up to 500 mL of liquid.
The cup has a few uses beyond drinking. Placed on the ground outside, it collects rainwater. A coffee machine can brew coffee straight into it. When it is no longer needed, it can be smelted down for steel.
Metal cups are found in Wild West themed buildings, camping stores and hunting lodges. A blacksmith can also forge one at a forge. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
The metal cup works as a drinking vessel. When it holds at least 120 mL of water, a thirsty character drinks from it on their own. That makes a full cup a handy way to keep thirst in check.
The cup counts as a coffee maker. The Brew Coffee recipe at a Coffee Machine fills it with a hot drink.
The Forge Cup recipe makes a new cup at a simple forge or better. It needs Blacksmithing level 3, and the recipe must be learned first. It takes charcoal, a sheet of metal, a smithing hammer and pliers or tongs. A steel sheet gives a Metal Cup, while copper, silver or gold sheets give cups of those metals.
An old cup can be smelted at an Advanced Furnace. It gives a Steel Chunk or fills a crucible with steel.
Recipes
Hot Drink takes up to 3 ingredients. It can also start from a Mug or a Teacup or a Ceramic Teacup. Every ingredient the game allows is listed with the hunger it restores, one kind of food per tab.

Locations
Metal cups are a fairly common find in Wild West themed buildings. The counter of a Wild West bar holds one more often than not. Dressers, side tables and wardrobes in Wild West bedrooms carry one about a fifth of the time. Lockers in Wild West living rooms do the same. Prison cells turn one up now and then. Camping stores, hunting lodges, pawn shops, army surplus stores and fishing storage rooms hold them only rarely.

Notes
- A metal cup left outside fills with rainwater when it rains.
- Wild West bar counters are the most reliable place to find one.
- The cup can be smelted for steel once it is no longer needed.
- Forging a cup from copper, silver or gold gives a cup of that metal instead.
