TOAKS LIGHT Titanium 550ml Pot (Ultralight Version)

The TOAKS LIGHT Titanium 550ml Pot is perfectly sized for solo minimalist cooking OR for a wonderful, mug/bowl-sized compliment to a larger cooking kit.At exactly 70g (2.5 oz) with its included lid, the pot is wonderfully light. At 3-3/4" in diameter, it is just wide enough to perch stably atop my Emberlit Ultralight stove. At 3-1/8" tall, it is just barely short enough to fit under the lid of my MSR Stowaway 1.6L pot and/or the lid of my 1L GSI stainless kettle. As a result, it extends the versatility of my already very flexible cookset.If I'm camping solo and ultralight, this is the only pot I need, with sufficient capacity to boil 2 full cups of water with 3 fl oz. of space to spare (preventing water from boiling over to extinguish my stove or fire underneath). Indeed, with 19 fl oz capacity, it could even eke out enough boiled water to rehydrate a meal for two.If I'm camping with the family, I nest it inside one or both of the other pots I mentioned above, and use this little pot as a handy mug that is sufficiently generous in size for my wife and I to share for morning coffee. Since it's titanium, it can also be set over the coals or an open flame to cook a nice side dish, such as a generous portion of rice or baked beans.The lid is not a friction fit, but it does fit nicely and its grab tab can be slid into a locking groove to ensure it stays upright so you will never have to burn your fingers trying to lift the lid. Small holes in the lid also allow steam to escape, giving you a pretty good idea of when the water is boiling without having to constantly remove the lid to check.This pot could be improved by adding measurement markings on the inside; however, you can always add them yourself, if desired. I may also drill a small hole under the rim on either side of the pot so that I can attach a wire bail handle to hang this over a fire as well. (Smaller pots can be tricky to set over logs; it's easier to hang them.) Some people may also wish for a tighter fitting lid, but on a pot this small and light, I actually prefer the slight looseness, as it makes it easy to remove the lid without potentially tipping/upsetting the pot if it is perched somewhat precariously over the fire.All in all, I think this is the single most versatile size of small pot you're going to find, and I especially appreciate its shorter/wider form factor for better stability on a cook stove than other taller/narrower pots. It also seems plenty durable for its intended use.

I've only tested this at home so far but it seems like a great little pot/cup. The pot weighs 53g and the lid 17g for a total 70g versus the tag specification of 72g. Always a nice surprise if things are lighter. The orange mesh stuff sack with drawstring and cord lock weighs 10g. The mesh is well chosen for cushioning with low weight. I had wondered if the pot walls would be too thin for durability but I'm confident it will be fine with care.The pot measures 100mm at the rolled top lip (outside diameter), 95mm through the body (OD, as specified) and 80mm high (as specified). Internal diameter is 85mm; a 110g/4oz canister fits inside perfectly. So it's slightly squat, which is what I wanted, both for stability and low spoon angle. Bonus: it will be great with a short handled spoon.The lid isn't a tight fit which is fine with boiling liquid, and the lid tab lock groove works well so you can easily lift the lid for a peek. With a measured 500mL water to test, there was a little space at the top so 550mL is capacity to the brim. All up, it seems like a well-considered unit for minimalist solo trips.

Great item, light weight. Toaks is great and the prices are fair. Very light, nest able, and just what you need at very fair prices.

If you are using a "brs" style stove drop this in first with a mini bic. The dome on the bottom of an isopropane 110 gram canister will fit over the stove with the canister nipple below the lid. Hold the lid on with a rubber band or hair band or shove it in a small Smelly-proof/ziplock bag.I think it is about the perfect size for a solo backpacker unless you are a really hearty eater. I have the 750ml as well but it is a bit too deep to reach into for cleaning and just more pot than I use. I also have the evernew 900 ml wide pot, also too much for one person, imho.It took me a wile to shift from aluminum to titanium but I think in the scheme of things the added cost is worth it. Mainly because it heats quickly. And cools quickly. Rinse it out and set it in the sun and its dry. Or use a bit of stove heat to dry it. Wipes out well with leaves.

I just used this little pot on a backpacking trip and it worked great for both my dinner and my coffee in the morning! Nice and light!
