The blessing of solitude.
Whether you're detoxing from social situations for just one night or several, bring along the MSR Trail Mini Solo Cook Set. Its comforting hiss is a welcome replacement to the sound of human voices as you boil water for dinner, breakfast, or a drink in between. The entire set weighs less than eight ounces, meaning you can throw it in your pack next to your trad rack for a crag-side warming beverage—that you might deign to share with people—or snuggle it in by your sleeping pad for a solo campsite meal, without being weighed down. The anodized aluminum pot is durable and low-profile, and can contain a fuel canister and stove (sold separately) to maximize pack space.

The cup needs an update otherwise fantastic
Like many here I stumbled out to start making coffee and didn’t realize the cup was still on the bottom. Torched it and at struggling to find the replacement measuring cup. I agree change the color of the cup to stand out. Thankfully stove is fine but the cup is now toast. Help!

Love it... but....
Love this little cook-set and use it for bike-packing. The straining lid is very clever. Super light and perfect for one person. The pot gripper will scratch the inside of the pot, unless you wrap it for storage. A pot handle would have been better. AND.... like many others it seems, after NEARLY doing it twice... I melted the bowl by not noticing and removing it from the pot before firing up the burner. I'm in Australia and it seems like it will an ordeal getting replacement bowl, if possible at all??

Great System
I love this little kit (solo) however I wish that MSR would just add handles to the pot as that would alleviate the need for the pot gripper as it scratches up the pot. It would also alleviate the need for the silicone grip on the pot that eventually slides down anyway. Further, make the bowl orange so that it alerts others to remove the bowl before cooking. It would be nice if you could buy the pieces of this cook set separately in the event of loss or damage otherwise, this is a great system that I really love. It has replaced a few systems that I loved before this. My new go to!

Replacement of Silicone ring?
Silicone ring slipped down while cooking and didnt notice until it was on fire. Any chance I can purchase a replacement part for this?

Works Great, but don't forget the plastic bowl....
Set is compact and works great. Forgot to take the plastic bowl off when making my morning coffee and melted it everywhere. The bowl should be a bright orange color so it is more noticeable. Would love to order a new bowl, but do not see the option on the website

Great for solo backpacker
This is a smaller version of the two person kit. It works really well when I’m backpacking alone! I like having both on hand, though, so I have options!

Great little stove. Only issue
Great little stove. Only issue is I have to be careful not to set the flame too high. Same issue as the bigger set that you can melt the silicone ring. Other than that it’s by far my favorite stove!

Weak Design
I give it 2 stars for the light weight and the gripper. Sending back. I was trying to beat out my GSI Minimalist Kit for a very slight weight advantage. I love MSR stoves and have had several of their cook kits over the years so I was surprised to see how poorly designed this item is. I venture to say that anyone that loves this kit has never compared it to the GSI Minimalist Kit. Virtually the same size and weight but so much more functional. Pot versus Pot (GSI is lighter). Lid versus Lid (GSI Lid flips to turn the pot to a drinkable cup...once slipped into the neoprene cozy. MSR pot would burn your lips and the provided cup is only cold rated and would burn your hands). Rubber Rand versus Neoprene Cozy (MSR rand could melt if stove flares up and is so narrow there is only a small safe spot for your fingers. The GSI pot is removed from the stove and placed into a full coverage neoprene cozy the keeps one from burning their hands and functions to keep the contents hot). Metal Pot Grabber versus Neoprene Gripper (MSR wins this one. The GSI gripper is virtually weightless but awkward to use and one could find hot liquid steaming their fingers. The MSR gripper is far more functional). Cup versus Cup (The MSR cup is cheap flexible thin plastic that will roast your hands if it has hot liquid in it. It also kind of disappears when stored on the bottom of the pot and people forget about it and melt it on their stove. GSI does not have a separate cup. The pot double functions as a functional insulated cup when placed into the cozy and when the lid is placed on top. For those that think that MSR wins in this area because of a separate cup, you will be disappointed. What are you going to put in it other than a cool drink? It is basically only a measuring cup. Some might not like that you do not get a separate cup with the GSI. If that is important to you, for what it is worth, the included cup that comes with the GSI Soloist Kit, slides right onto the bottom of the Minimalist pot. When this is done, I believe the difference between the two kits is about 2 ounces). I count ounces but 2 to 3 ounces for a fully functional kit versus one that is fraught with issues is a win for me. All GSI needs to do is create a decent pot grabber and it will be a complete Game, Set, Match. NOTE: Do not buy the GSI stoves. They are junk. MSR wins the stove battle at every level. So, in my opinion, MSR Stoves and GSI Cook Kits.

Worked great
Compact but big enough to fit my burner. It's part of the team now.

Works great. Boils water in around a minute.
Worked great until I forgot to take the plastic bowl off the metal canister. Only took seconds to melt the plastic and destroy my stove. Solo cook set was awesome. I was challenged!
