A must have!

By Matt S. Ranked #225 - Canister Stoves June 19, 2009

This is without a doubt the best stove I have ever owned for basic trail food and a continuous addiction to coffee! While you are pretty much limited to food that needs to be boiled or simmered, I love the fact that it boils water in a couple of minutes. Throw in the coffee press (also made by Jetboil, but does come with the stove) and it makes a quick cup of tasty coffee any time you want it. The coffee press does feels a bit flimsy, but it has held up well so far. The attached insulated cup is a nice feature, and I'm a real big fan of the semi protected heating element that works well in weather that would prove hard with my white gas stove. If you use the smaller Jetpower fuel canisters (100g) you can even mail them ahead of time (ground only) to your destination. All in all, a great simple stove as long as you realize that you won't be grilling or frying anything.

Also, keep an eye out for the new redesigned PCS, the "PCS Flash" which is supposed to be released sometime this fall (2009). It looks like it comes in new colors, has a see through lid, and has added strips on the side that change color to show temperature.
