Snow Peak Trek Series Backpacking/Camping Cookware Sets, Trek 700 Pot, 23.6 fl oz

I used a different titanium pot until recently, due to unexpected abuse (I slipped and tumbled off the trail, down into a ditch, and landed upside down on top of my backpack - the pot was inside the backpack) the pot became dented, badly, beyond repair or use. The dented pot was a less expensive, thin-walled titanium pot. I read that the Snow Peak Trek 700 is made of a thicker titanium material. This Trek 700 pot is much sturdier, and is still very, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT. A better quality pot compared to my previous, dented pot. It heats quickly, and retains heat a bit better than the previous pot. It will take more cooking use to evaluate, but burnt food (ramen, egg) seems less prone to stick to this pot, so far. The pot lid is also quality titanium, does not snap-fit on the pot, yet remains planted on the pot while cooking. The lid has a drain hole, for draining off pasta, and a sturdy side-loop lid handle. The pot handles fold flat for packing, and open to provide a very sturdy grip for the pot. The handles do get hot while cooking (pot holder recommended). When packing up, the Trek 700 holds my ISO butane canister and stove burner under the lid, with a little extra space left inside for packing small items. The 700 ml capacity makes it large enough for boiling water, cooking pasta and ramen, plus just the right diameter for comfortably drinking coffee or tea (as a mug) without spilling. Pouring hot water from this pot into a cup, or to rehydrate a trail meal, is easy to do. I plan to cover the lid handle with something non-snaggy to protect the mesh carry bag from getting snagged or ripped.

This is an awesome lightweight cookset. Perfect size for one person. Just right for cooking oatmeal, mac n' cheese, tea, whatever, while backpacking. The small canisters for my jet stove fit inside it for better use of space, which is awesome. Seems really durable, and we'll see how the handles hold up. I've seen friends with similar gigs with the handles, and those held up for a long time. Lid is nice too for straining water for stuff like cooking macaroni. The mesh sac that this comes with is nice too because the pot will get a layer of carbon on it if it's used on a campfire, so it keeps the black soot from getting your backpack dirty. (The carbon buildup is good because it helps with heating stuff faster.) The lid seems pretty good too, although it clings to the pot almost too well with the two little clasps on it so when you're taking it out of the hot coals you have to kindof tap it off quick with your fingers. Overall this is awesome for lightweight backpacking, and will be in my gear every time.

Very happy with the purchase.Great cup. Lightweight and durable.Best use with the hotlips acessory. Don't want to burn your lips while drinking coffee or soup.Made in Japan.

Its a well made cup. It s thin and light and heats up water noticably faster than steel. I LOVE the lid. The whole product is very sturdy. Only problem is the titanium really changes the flavor of many foods, especially coffee. It makes coffee taste really weird. I havent decided for sure, but I might be going back to a steel cup for that reason. I would like to try a titanium cup that is polished on the inside. That seemed take a flavor difference with the toaks titanium long handle spoon, which seems to have no flavor at all. The pot is a perfect height and it fits perfectly on a standard nalgene bottle. The pot would be perfect if it weren't for the flavor with coffee and some other things. It works great for heating water for Mountain House meals. It doesn't seem to affect the flavor of those at all.Edit: I have been using the cup for quite a while now and I don't really notice any of the flavor anymore. I don't know what was causing this, but it seems to only be a problem when it is new. It is now one of my favorite pieces of equipment, because it is so versitile and so light. I have it in a Condor H2O case with a pocket and I have a fire starter and the lid in the pocket. A Nalgeen bottle is nested in the cup. If I needed to go ultra light, I could just pull this pocket off of my gear and leave with that and a knife. This is the best canteen cup I have ever seen.

The 700 might be a little more than I need size-wise, but it's a pretty light, so I don't mind. I can fit my stove (MSR Pocket Rocket) & a smaller gas canister inside of it. If I'm packing a slightly larger gas canister I can still fit other gear in it & try to maximize my space usage that way. I've used it over small wood fires & my gas stove - it took both well (last time I burned over wood, I was in a pine forest - I so don't recommend boiling over burning pine... so much sticky soot. Bring a small bag to put it in if you're cooking over a wood fire & don't want your other gear to get black ash/soot marks. It still cleans up pretty well when I get home, though - just rub some dish soap directly on the soot & let it sit for a while before rinsing. Obviously, if I'm cooking over the gas that isn't an issue). I use it for boiling water so I can't say if there are any hotspot issues that will burn your food if that's how you intend to use this cook cup. I love that the handles fold & don't get overly hot when being used. Haven't burned my lips when drinking from it either, granted, I don't put it to my mouth as soon as I pull it off the heatsource ;)
