Tiny but mighty
I opened the package and found everything very well packed. All items where included.I was initially concerned about the Pot size. It's a bit smaller than any of the others I've used.I would not take two cups of water when I went to test it with ramen.All functions work.I will probably get a larger cup or small pot and use the cut supplied for coffee.Overall I'm very happy.

Great value for the low price point
Very lightweight. Needs a wind screen but I’ll figure that out before my next trip. Could boil water twice with one bottle of denatured alcohol. I like that it all fits together. Won’t use every piece every time but nice to make coffee while on a cool day hike. Great for a back up.

Christmas gift
Got this for my husband for Christmas and he seems to really like it. It heated water for coffee quickly and is really lightweight.

only missing two necessary items
this is a great little hiking/cycling/lightweight trekking cookset... it is only missing two items:1. a striker (a small ferrocerium rod and piece of steel for making sparks or a vintage Coleman lantern lighter)2. a 6-inch tall windscreen (make your own out of an aluminum oven liner)this cookset is otherwise fairly complete and works well - it will NOT work without a windscreen out in the open; inside you will find:16 oz cuplid with hinged folding tabsilicon grip (thumb and two-fingers for handling hot cup or lid)folding spork2 oz plastic fuel containeralcohol burner w/storage bagstorage bag for the cookseti tested the cookset under optimum conditions (70F, no wind) with the following results:1. add 1 oz alcohol - there are 1- and 2-oz gradations in the stove2. light and prime for 60 seconds - this allows the flames to emerge from the burner holes3. added 8 oz water to cup, placed lid on top, placed cup onto stove - there are no legs, so stove must be level!water came to a full, rolling boil in 5 minutes, including prime timeand then, with 16 oz of water:1. added two oz of fuel2. primed for 60 seconds (seemed like larger flames?)3. placed full cup with lid on stovewater came to a full, rolling boil at the 8-minute markafter the water has boiled and you have transferred it to another container or bag of food for rehydration, place the empty cup over the stove and it will extinguish; you can then reclaim unused fuel from a cooled stove - i was able to get an ounce reclaimed from a 16 oz boil using two ounces of fuelthis shows that the stove design is efficient - you can also see what looks like stainless mesh inside the weep holes for fuel (i do not know what is used as a wick - fiberglass?)not a bad design! weight weenies should know that the entire cookset weighed about 7 oz - don't see how much lighter you could get for ultralight trekkingHINT: as you may know, alcohol stoves do not work well if the stove and fuel is cold - keep the stove and fuel separate, in an inside pocket or under an armpit before setting for boiling water in freezing conditionsfive star product even though most cooksets of this type include a cheap windscreen

Great Pot/Cup & Utensil
I got this for my wife as she has started to accompany me on my hikes.Pros:- Light Weight- Titanium- Compact- Bail HandleCons:- No Venting in Lid- No Measurement Lines/Scale- Titanium Stove- HandlesWhat you get in the package:- 1 x TREKOLOGY Titanium Pot/Cup- 1 x Lid- 1 x Titanium Folding Spork- 1 x Silicone Finger Heat Resistant Glove- 1 x Titanium Stove- 1 x Plastic Fuel Container- 1 x Mesh Carrying Bag- 1 x Nylon Pouch (For Stove)This TREKOLOGY Titanium Pot/Cup holds 450ml and is made of Titanium which makes it strong and light weight.The Pot/Cup is roughly 3.7" in height by x 3.15" in Diameter. The Pot/Cup weighs approximately 2.34oz.The Lid is roughly 3.15" in Diameter and weighs approximately 0.76oz (3.10oz together). The mesh bag weighs about 0.38oz. The Titanium Spork folds in half and is approximately 0.54oz. The small silicone finger glove is heat resistant and weighs about 1.2oz. The Titanium Stove is roughly 1.7"x 2.8" and weighs about 1.6oz. The fuel container can hold up to 30ml of fuel.What I like about this Pot/Cup mainly is that it is Titanium. Titanium used to be quite expensive when this type of gear was introduced some years ago. But it has come down quite a bit and is relatively reasonable to purchase now. Titanium is ultra light, but very strong. So it is perfect for backpacking. The Pot/Cup seems to be quality. The folding Spork is also nice as it is all Titanium. I have purchased utensils in the past that are half Titanium with a Stainless Steel handle. I appreciate that it is all Titanium which makes it as light as possible.If this is your first time considering Titanium or you are new to hiking. Do yourself a favor and go for it. You will not regret it. Titanium is strong, thin and light weight. It may not seem like it makes that much of a difference on the trail .. but it truly does.What I didn't care for about this product is the stove. I was hoping it would work. but the design didn't seem like something that would lend itself to trail use. In testing that proved to be the case. The stove was difficult to start and it took a while for it to heat up. You had to be in near still wind for this to operate well. I ended up trying to test this in my garage, as in the outdoor was impossible. Even in the garage, with a cardboard box providing a wind screen ... it was still difficult to use. Anything that requires that much protection just to keep the flame going is not trail worthy. I ended up failing the stove in my testing. It is simply not a useable outdoor stove if you have to erect wind screens just to keep it going. I went to my goto stove which lit immediately and I was able to complete my testing of the pot/cup. The lid of the cup does not have vent holes to allow steam to escape. While not a deal breaker by any means, it was a simple fix with a drill and bit. The pot/cup also lacks any scale or measuring lines, which make it easier to measure on the trail. Again, not a deal breaker, just a convenience. The handles on the pot/cup do not have any resistance in the mount so they tend to rattle slightly inside of the pack if they are not packed correctly or move during hiking. Lastly, while the Spork is good .. it does not have a locking clip to keep the utensil from folding accidentally while in use. It did not fail holding any food in my testing, but again ... just another common feature in most modern equipment that is not present.I was unable to locate any warranty either in the product information or item description.I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All in all, this is decent titanium pot/cup and spork. It is well made, light weight. Although it lacks so convenience features that can be found in most similar products these days. There are little details that the manufacturer just didn't put thought into IMO that would have made this All-in-one product better. From the rather useless stove to the lack of any scale lines. For the price, you could find something better. However, its saving grace is the pot/cup and Spork. I found those to be well made but you can find a pot/cup and Spork for a lot cheaper. As it fails miserably as a complete Mess Kit.This product is made in China.

Very compact, sturdy, and light weight.
This is a simple kit, with stove, intended really for one person. The cup/pan is 450ml. That's just a bit under a pint for those metric challenged. Everything fits into that for storage. There is a lid, a spork, and a little alcohol stove. It comes with a small plastic bottle for the alcohol fuel. There is even a silicone hot pad included. All metal parts are titanium, which is light, strong, and tough. It withstands heat well, and also does not leach anything into the food. To use the included stove you just pour in some alcohol and light it. When done you can either wait for the fuel to run out or invert the cup over the stove. If you have a campfire, you can also just put the cup on the coals. This will not harm the titanium. All in all, this is a well thought out little cook kit. It comes with a bag to keep it in as well. Finally, I had a quick question, so I sent a message to the manufacturer and I had my answer back in a couple of hours.
