Backcountry.com Titanium Cookset - 700ml Pot /Spork - 2008 BCS

Great set for a great price.
The lid more less sits on the pot. Kind of a pain as it falls of rather easy.

I finally got my pot/cup in and I love it. It is my first Ti cup. (And it only makes me want more.) I initially wanted a Snow Peak however I realized that the lids on the SP were not Ti. When it was pointed out to me that the BC pot had a Ti lid, plus about $5 cheaper, I went with it. I actually spent the extra $5 and got the Ti spork with the stove......so I still came out even!
It is super tiny, yet big enough for what I need it for. 3.1 oz by itself, or 3.6 oz with the lid. I can't wait to use it in the field, however I have already boiled water in it quite a few times. It does marvelous. The handles do get hot, but give it about 30 seconds and they will cool down. Just a few more seconds and you are good to sip from it safely.
I will be using the White Box Solo stove in conjunction with this pot. My entire cook system will weigh less than 10 oz (fuel included).
I like how the stuff sack fits over the pot and the spoon fits in the sack, but my problem is that I don't really plan on using my canister stove with this pot. If there is not a canister packed on top of the stove in the sack the spoon makes cinching the sack down a little awkward, it's just too tall. I will more than likely pack my spork separately as I have always done. Also, the sack is a little heavy, so I may just wrap the stove up in a hanky (of course with my stove, windscreen, heat shield, and fire inside) and go with that. But for storage, it is nice to have.
However, I'm not knocking this pot. It's all fun to have!

Would definitely recommend. (Go for it)

not really a review so dont pay attention to the star rating (although if its anything like my other backcountry.com Ti cookware it would get 4 stars). just wanted to note that a customer service rep just told me this thing is 5 inches tall by 4 inches in diameter. i find dimensions with a volume gives you a more accurate picture of an item when you cant hold the thing in your hand. hope this info helps.

The spork is beautiful, love it.
The pot is pretty as well, lightweight, well built and the best price for a titanium pot. Its design however, could be easily improved: It is too narrow and tall - its proportions make the pot not so heat-efficient and prone to burn the food at bottom while cooking the rest. The lid could fit snugger to make draining easy. Bottom line: I like it and I'm happy to have it but you'll struggle if it is your cooking pot. Great for boiling water and use it as a mug/bowl. It's clearly behind the (overly priced) MSR Titan Titanium Kettle.

I love this combination! Small/Large enough, very light, cleans well and lasts extremely well. The spork works well too and cleans well. Pick it up and it'll turn into your favorite!

At first I was skeptical because of it's light weight and thinness, but Ti is wicked strong, and it proved to be a very durable and reliable little 'pot.'

I agree with many of the reviews; it is more of a mug than a pot, but it is absolutely perfect with the MSR Pocket Rocket on hikes or climbs...warm up soup (on low, of course...Ti has tendency to burn things on high heat), boil water for tea, coffee...etc. It is very light-weight and the Pocket Rocket fits right in there, with some hot cocoa packets.

For summer backpacking trips with freeze-dried food, or for making breakfast in the morning, this 'pot' is perfect.

I actually bought just the pot so I can't speak on the spork. I will say that the pot works great for me. It's 5" tall and has a 4" diameter. I use it to boil water (and sometimes make ramen) over my pepsi can stove. Nice boil times. My entire cook kit (pepsi stove/windscreen/bottlecap measurer/bandana) fits inside quite nicely, weighs just over 6 ounces, and doesn't take up much room in my pack. The stuff sac is a nice addition. I've found that once I pour my boiling water into my freezer bag meal and seal it I can put the whole bag inside the pot. I then put the pot in the mesh stuff sac and this whole thing works quite well as a cozy to keep my dinner piping hot while it rehydrates. This pot also works quite well as a mug for coffee/hot choco. The only thing I don't like about it is that the lid is not tight fitting at all, it just kinda sits on top of the pot. No big deal though and not enough to deter me from buying the pot again. Great little pot for the price.

My titanium cookware was among my most useful pieces of gear when traveling the arctic tundra. The 1-liter Nalgene water bottle fits perfectly inside to conserve space. I loved this product so much that I purchased another immediately upon returning to civilization.

This pot is all i could ask for!!! I can fit a 110g canister and my giga power stove in the pot! I can also fit an additional canister on top of the cup and a spork and hot pad-bandana all in the included stuff sack!!! boil times have improved by almost a full minute and its sweet looking on top of it all!! Buy one! Infact buy 2, you wont regret it!!!! I recommend you to buy the spork with this pot,you will eventually anyways and i didn't! I finally bought the b.c. spork and ended up losing money to pay shipping twice!!!so buy it and love it 'cause it's bad ass

I bought this on sale, without the spoon. One of the best Ti bargains I've purchased. This 'pot' is more like a large mug... The only complaint I have is the lid is not tight fitting - which is good and bad. I assume it was designed so the lid can be easily taken off this light cookware without tipping the mug over with boiling water, etc. This is probably the safest design, but I prefer MSR's snug fitting lid on their Titan Kettle although their design usually necessitates grasping the handles for stability before lifting the lid, or risk tip-over.

Additionally, the lid's holes for venting steam are too close to the lifting tab, which will burn your fingers if not cautious and not well suited for straining liquid from noodles, etc. I had to put a notch in the end of my spoon to lift the lid from the pot while boiling to avoid the vents and pinch the lid down when straining. The stuff sack serves as a pot scrubber - pretty cool.

Lightweight. Looks cool. It is BIG. Not a mug. Don't expect a small mug for drinking coffee (although you can still drink coffee out of it.) It is a great pot for lightweight excursions. My stove fits neatly inside it. The spork is nice too. Works as it should. Great product, great deal.

Love this Ti set! I just bought a second -- now one stores my Snow Peak Giga stove, fuel, & pot holder/cleaner & accessories and the second serves as a mug/spare pot/loaner. I've found that my Nalgene bottle fits nicely inside the mug, and the stuff sack fits the bottle perfectly as a cover. I drop the lid in the bottom of the stuff sack first in case I need it, and the excellent spork still fits inside with the Nalgene bottle in place as well! This pot & lid are perfect for heating water, which is my primary use for it. Best value in Ti gear and still one of my favorite pieces of kit! If you can get it on sale you can't lose!!!

Pretty legit so far. I plan on using this as a pot/bowl/mug combo. I expect it to perform well. It is light in weight and very clean construction. My only complaint so far is the stuff sack. There is padding underneath the external mesh shell. Although it doesn't weight very much, it is pretty much useless. I cannot remove it because it is bonded to the shell mesh fabric and this is extra weight. Super lame.

I love this thing, whenever I am at work and wish I could be outside I use this cup!! I fill it with tea and coffee and then just daydream!! it motivates me to get done so I can go do the things most dream of. Very lightweight and durable.

I should have been more aware of the size of a 700ml pot. It was a little small for my liking and since I usually don't camp alone this thing probably won't get a whole lot of use. However this pot definitely has a purpose. If you know you can get by with 700ml, then this is a good choice. Very lightweight combo and barely takes up any room in your pack. It gets a good rating because it's my fault for not looking into it more.

Used mine for the first time this past weekend...was lucky enough to have caught it on SteepandCheap...it's a great set, my MSR Pocket Rocket fits inside with no problem, and the storage bag is nice to have. I really wish I had snagged a couple of them on SAC...

I just got this pot off department of goods but I assume its the same thing. It's lightweight, well constructed and I was able to boil 2 cups of water using my homemade supercat stove. I'm definitely gonna need to insulate the handles though. Flames kissing metal for 5-10 minutes equals ouch.

this seems to be the best value when it comes to minimal titanium cook sets. performs like it should. my only complaint is that i wish it held more water. around 4 cups would be ideal when it comes to mountain house food. but the smaller size is nice for packability, so its a great buy. super light too.

Awesome light weight pot with spoon.
Pros - Light, sturdy, can fit all of my alcohol stove setup inside pot and windscreen rolls up nicely around pot and all fits in included bag.

Cons - Cinch string broke quickly but easily replaced, matte finish does scuff from included spork.

Definitely have to recommend this one to any and all!

Love it! I tuck my alcohol stove and windscreen right inside - makes a great light weight cooking system. I used this for the 2nd half of my AT thru hike. Other hikers were surprised when I told them the price! I could even cook 2 packs of ramen in it (it's a bit full but you can do it!). I would like to see this with a longer handle - if Backcountry redesigns it I would buy it again and again!

The pot is lightweight and solid-seeming. The lid is terrible, hardly nestles into the pot at all, using the strainer hole can be a possibly dinner-losing experience. Been there, it sucked, and I'm not clumsy or inattentive by nature, it's just poorly designed in that respect. Also, there's a finish to the pot that can scratch off, leading me to think it was a coating of some sort, Backcountry said it was just a processing of the titanium, not an additive and no health hazard exists. The spork is slick, but the stupid holes cut in it easily accumulate gooey foods like peanut butter. Not really hard to clean, but just a sign that aesthetics were more important than function in the design. I like the look of that Light My Fire spork with full spoon and fork on opposite ends of a smooth handle. Glad to hear that silicone lid works with this pot, I haven't used it since I lost that dinner, bad design pisses me off. At least the pot itself is pretty sweet, and shopping here is always easy and quick. Have a Marmot Driclime wind shirt on the way, my second, super stoked.

There is a reason we spend our hard earned cash on titanium - we want the lightest possible gear. This pot is very functional and is everything one would expect from a pot like this, except it is heavier than advertised. It actually weighs 3.95 oz (112 grams) on my calibrated digital scale, not 3.7 oz.

On a good note, the spoon weighs 0.56 oz (16 oz). The handle is rough textured for a good grip but the bowl is highly polished smooth.

Finally, the price can't be beat. So, bottom line is that this is a good deal!
I just wish that specs were quoted accurately.

Boil water, eat, repeat. Amazingly light and useful

I use this for all my cooking, was impressed how fast it cooled down, can use lid to strain water. Spork is great, lightweight and built tough..

Me and my guy both got one of these after using homemade heineken can mugs for over a year. They are slightly bigger than the large heineken cans, are super durable, super lightweight, come with an awesome spork and carry bag, and the built in handles are great (tho they do get really hot if the fire is right on them).

We use it with homemade mini-penny stoves made out of the tiny V8 cans. The penny stove, pot stand, medium sized Dr. Bronner's soap bottle full of denatured alcohol, lid, spork, and cup all fit quite nicely into the provided stuff sack (the alcohol bottle stick out of the top opening just a little). The whole package fits in the outside side pocket of my backpack.

I love this cup and have used it as my sole cooking device for several trips already. We have used it for 2+ weeks in Olypmic NP, a week each on the Green and Upper Missouri rivers, and in Glacier NP. The only thing you have to be careful of is how hot the handles get. Otherwise it's perfect.

Titanium is nice and light, but it transmits heat too efficiently. It's good for boiling water; does the job for ramen - take care not to burn your stew. Also, be careful where you grab it when drinking your hot toddy. If you're going to hump a fifth all the way to the summit, you don't want to sacrifice your warm adult beverage to the mountain gods.

Overall I love the system! Comes with a very nice mesh storage bag which hold both pot and spork. The pot was the perfect weight and size for my needs. The pot doubles as a storage device by holding my beer can stove, fuel, windscreen, matches, and leather. Lid does not do much- but will help water boil faster and will keep ashes and debris out of your pot while cooking. Spork is nice, lightweight, a little flexible. Very happy with this purchase- especially for the price!

Buy it. Great product at a great price.

This is the Backcountry version of the Snowpeak 700ml Ti pot. There's a couple differences, more good than bad. The good is that the handle has a great indention near the bottom where a finger can lock into making it much easier to handle and the lid is titanium (not aluminum). The two things missing are the little hanger on the lid to put it on the side of the pot and the volume measurements. The lid hanger is fairly useless anyways, and it's really not hard guessing the volumes after using a measuring cup the first two or three times. I guess you could lightly scratch a marking to indicate 1or 2 cups if you are feeling a bit OCD. This works great with my alcohol stove setup as the handles are outside of the windscreen and don't get hot even though the pot itself is under direct flame. Lightweight, spork is worth the extra, and really cool stuff sack with spork pocket. I'd recommend this to a friend for sure.

This pot is light weight, holds plenty for one and is a great price. The spork is pretty cool too. The only downside it extra caution needs to be exercised when using it with the pocket rocket or similar stoves. The pot can be a little tipsy so be care not to burn yours with hot water. Overall, I don't think you can beat the value this set offers!!

Great weight, durability, heat transfer, size and cleanliness. I fit 2 supercat stoves and my alcohol inside.

Handle's don't retain heat and the lid is a press fit but won't stay on to drain without help. Overall I love it

This is a great personal pot for cooking single serving meals such as top ramen, rice, etc. This pot also doubles as a cup for your hot chocolate or morning coffee.

this pot is super light, and strong. good for cooking ramen or coffee/tea. comes with a good mesh bag and spork.

This is great set. Ultralight and small. Perfect for boiling 2 cups of water for my dehydrated meals. I don't know why you would need 3 of them going at the same time. Found mine on the SAC website for 50% off.

This cookset is awesome -- it packs quite small, is impossibly lightweight, and has an awesome built-in handle. I love the way it doubles as a mug, and it also comes with a lid so water and snow boils faster.

Lastly, and here's the kicker: my entire stove (MSR Pocket Rocket), including fuel canister, fit inside the included sack! The stove, inside its own plastic case, fit in the pot with the lid on top, and the fuel easily fits in the extra room in the sack. Great buy.

Great lightweight pot and spork. Only reason it did not get 5 stars is because the lid does not seal tight, it easily comes off. 2 thumbs up to sac

This is an awesome little pot, it's lightweight and tough what more can you ask for? Oh yeah.... a titanium spork! Honestly it's cool to say let alone use. If I start a band that will be the name. Oh and the carry bag is pretty cool too.

I use it to brew myself a fatty coffee boost. Super light and the spork looks cool.

I picked up a couple of these dudes and was pretty excited about it. I had never had Titanium cook ware before. I have to admit that they are super, SUPER lite. However, the pot is extremely small. I'm talking like coffee cup small. I'm a big guy and I would need three of these fellas' go'en at the same time to get enough food in me. Definitely go for a bigger pot.

I love my little cooking pot and as a poor college student I use it all the time for making top roman, oatmeal, single serving soups, or making hot chocolate at home. I just throw it on the burner and eat from the pot when it's done cooking; it's very convenient for me. I also use the bag it came with to hold it when the metal is still too hot to handle and the lid as a strainer. My only compliant is the price, $40 buck is too much in my opinion, but since it was a gift I can't complain too much, but I can't see myself ever paying that much for a 700 ml cooking pot and spork even if it is lighter than a pair of socks.

The perfect size cup/bowl. Love the weight. The lid is useless.
