Flatworld dishes come in several varieties, but we’ve settled on a set of cups, bowls and plates as the perfect combination, along with a Light My Fire spork each to round off our travel dishes and cutlery needs. These amazing dishes weigh in at next-to-nothing, pack down flat, but prove to be resilient and useful when camping, eating in hostels, or for a snack in your hotel room.

The cups can handle hot liquids and, because they have a stick-out handle, you can hold them without burning your hands. They also seem to transmit less heat than metal travel cups we’ve owned, so they feel much nicer to use. The plates and bowls are also easy to eat from, and can also serve as fruitbowls and storage containers if you’re stopping somewhere for a time.

You can find Orikaso Flatware on Amazon.
