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.

Added this to my Ultralight hiking setup. Used to take a Jetboil with me, but when I saw this I decided to buy it along with a small foldable stove that fits onto the fuel bottle comparable to a MSR Pocket Rocket. It’s been on multiple hikes with me and can use it for coffee, boiling water, or whatever else I can throw at it. Can even use it over a small fire. Very happy.

As part of an overall backpacking cook kit, I think that the Trek 700 strikes an extremely good balance of lightweight useability and portability. For my scenario, a normal trip would consist of 3-5 nights, eating mostly packaged backpacking food and with coffee in the morning. Rather than carrying a much larger pot, I elected to use the Trek; the main reasoning being that I'm really just boiling water for rehydrating food and for coffee. For those purposes, the Trek is absolutely the perfect size. 700mL is enough to rehydrate food and for a small cup of coffee. But beyond capacity, there are other advantages: -The Trek 700 can fit a 100g fuel can plus a stove and stand inside it. If you're using the Snowpeak Spork, it can fit into the lid spout and the whole package is therefore extremely compact -The Trek 700 can also fit the Jetboil coffee press (and optionally, the Jetboil lid), and that ALSO fits in with fuel and stove -You can use a compact stove, like the BRS-3000T or Snowpeak LiteMax very effectively. While the flame output from these stoves tend to be slightly too narrow to cover the bottom of a larger pot, they are basically perfectly sized to hold and heat the Trek 700. So the whole package is very compact and lightweight. There are two 'downsides', but this is kind of depending on preference: -The lid is kind of useless for me to begin with, but my problem with it is that it just sits on the rim rather than secures around it, meaning it slips around while transporting. It's also actually kind of heavy for a lid, though this probably doesn't matter unless you're the kind of ultralite hiker who shaves grams using thinner socks. You can use a jetboil lid though, which helps because it means you can also use it with the jetboil coffee press and it also provides a lip protector (so you don't need to use Snowpeak's Hot Lips). I sometimes bring one with me, though I find that a homemade cozy is good enough for most use cases. -The handles actually feel kind of weird to me when they're 'deployed', as they spread my hands out pretty wide. I've seen some people fix this by using a different set of handles and added some tubing over them for heat resistance, but I've left mine as is. For me, what I've done was ditched the lid, and created a cozy (top and bottom) out of reflectix. I carry my coffee press, can of fuel, and a BRS-3000T stove inside of it (I can't fit my preferred spoon, a long-handled Toaks titanium one inside it so I keep it separate- which by the way I also highly recommend for eating food out of bags). I would boil a full pot of water, dump some of it into my food, and then throw ground coffee into the pot and put it in its cozy for about 3 minutes. Then I stir, use the coffee press and pour it out into a small cup or just drink direct from the pot. Perfect. If you're someone who likes variety in your food or just likes to actually cook, then you might want to consider an actual pot rather than the Trek's "big cup" design. The Trek by virtue of being a big cup is pretty good for ramen packages and soups for one person, but obviously less so if you were to catch fish on the trail or feeding more than one person, for example.

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 ;)

Pricy for what it is, but I've tested a few other similar TI mugs, and this one is the sturdiest of the lot. Have been using it heavily for a while now and just wanted to give out my thoughts. Incredibly durable piece of gear. I could take or leave the little 'lips' on the lid. Also, regardless of what you have heard, the lid is indeed titanium (email to SnowPeak and also according to their website), it is just heavy. At first I hated the little 'dongle' tab hanging off the lid, but I have found it to be genius after using it. It really is useful. As far as packing it up, I usually end up putting the lid in the bag first (with the dongle tab thing facing up) then put the cup in with the opening on top. Then inside the cup I put lighter, fuel cubes in a baggie, one of those collapsible bellows things (like a metal TV antenna), Emberlit Fireant (yeah it fits perfectly), some coffee/tea/sugar-packets, a mini scrubber, TI spork, some tin foil for emergency windscreen, some TI tent stakes, and there is still room left over in the bag. For what it is, it is expensive. But at the end of day, it is extremely durable and probably the last mug in this size you will ever need to buy (your not going to break this thing under normal use, it will outlive you). I ended up picking up the 1400 too because of how impressed I was with this mug, and for use with multiple people.

This is the first piece of titanium cookware I have owned, and it's amazing. It weighs NOTHING! I mean, absolutely nothing! Perfect for my bugout bag, where every ounce counts. It is large enough to hold my Esbit folding stove, 2 boxes of solid fuel tabs for same, and several packets of coffee, tea bags, creamers, and bouillon cubes. But not quite long enough to contain my titanium spork. If I ever have to actually grab my go bag and escape, I can remain secure in the knowledge that I will be able to heat water for a drink or my Mountain House meals, without adding anything to the weight of my bag (and not a lot to the volume). Wonderful little kit for hikers, campers, or anyone who likes to have a hot drink on the go.

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.

I have only used it at home so far, instead of the normal ceramic mugs I always end up chipping and breaking, and it's perfect. I read the discussions about single wall vs double wall titanium mugs and was worried that boiling tea might cool down too quickly. Not a chance. Straight from the kettle and into this mug, it is still piping hot 35mn later with the lid on, and still very hot 20mn later without the lid. Perhaps liquids cool down faster when camping in cold temperatures or when the mug is only half filled, but at room temperature this mug keeps liquids hot longer than an ordinary ceramic mug. And since it's single walled you can even cook in it when camping. Light, elegant, impervious to rust, volume measures etched inside and excellent at keeping liquids hot. It's brilliant.

Works great with my new iso stove! The lid doubles as a strainer and speeds up boiling. 100g iso canisters fit inside with the stove, and the net holds everything together. After using it on a full day XC ski trip, I’ll definitely keep it in my day pack!

Only the mug was delivered in the box. The picture and and listing stated a set of 3 items but only 1 item was delivered.

Top quality like all snow peak kit. Nothing to complain about. Would like it to be slightly thicker walled but still plenty strong. Some people don't like the lid but I've never had any problems with it. Plus it is titanium and not stainless like some claim. Just seems to have a slightly different surface finish probably to do with how it's pressed compared to the pots main body. Really can recommend.
