Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I purchased this to update my old aluminum cook set. I chose this particular size over the others because my hand can easily fit inside of it to clean it out, and it is not overly bulky. I have only used it to boil water to heat my son's bottle while on an urban hiking trip to the DC cherry blossom festival. It was perfectly stable on my snow peak giga power stove, and heated half a quart in no time flat.
My primary interests are solo/group backpacking where I occasionally cook a meal for two. I cannot wait to hit the trail with this.
Note: the fry pan lid is rather small for cooking, and does rattle in your pack. A rubber band from a head of lettuce fixed the rattling problem quite nicely. But hey this makes for a really light weight, yet expensive, bear bell ;)
Service and delivery comments:
Prompt as to be expected by REI.

Good light weight combo, great for boiling water and cooking light meals.
Did not give it a 5 star due to the fact that the pan does not fit the cup tightly like a lid should.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I have to say I wasnt to pleased with this cookset. First of all, the mesh sack that comes with it is to big. I cooked on it for the first time with nonstick foil and the frypan looks horrendous. I should have spent my money on a nonstick set.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I found out that this is the perfect size for my solo backpacking trips as i do more than just boil water for my meals. I also use the lid/ pan as a plate.
I pair it with the snow peak mini solo cookset if i want to enjoy a cup of coffee while cooking or if i'm cooking for two.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
The handle on the miniature fry pan is not stable enough. The fry pan scorches immediately, and the food stuff sticks stubbornly.
My romance with titanium has finally come to an end. After having tried many of these items, I find them to be light weight misery versus a good backpack utility.
Although the cost has been driven downwards over the ensuing years, the problems with titanium remains constant.
You save weight, but you have to deal with poor heat transfer, which equates to more fuel burned over time.
Whatever weight you saved, you end up losing by virtue of the amount of fuel you must carry with you. Remember, it's not just the fuel, it's the bottles to carry it in.
I'm back to hard anodised aluminum. It's the only answer which makes sense at this point at least to me.
I've the titan tea pot still, but the other titanium products are destined for unasked for gifts, to the unsuspecting members of the hiking / back packing community; with whom I'm not too close.
Others I know real well, would slip into my tent, and most probably murder me in my sleep. It's hard to sleep with one eye open...

Great set for backpack cooking. Lid is just the lid & measuring cup, everything else I use the pot for. Starbuck's Via in the morning, check! Water for Backpackers Pantry, check! Cooking the mac & cheese, check! Carfull with the heat, no issues with warping or not normal discoloration.

I bought this with the smaller 700 (ml)? version. The smaller version fits inside this one like a glove and of course you know the stove fits inside that one. We just came of a section hike of the AT and this was constantly used for boiling water and a small amount of cooking. The reason I love and will always carry both size pots is they give me the ability to boil water and drink a cup of coffee or have oatmeal at the same time. Then boil more water for clean up, its just a piece of cake using these pots.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I have to agree with the complaints about this system's handles. They are thin, not terribly stable, and man-o-man do they get hot. But seriously now, is it that difficult to grab a bandanna, and temporarily call it a "potholder?"
This system works well if, like me, your backcountry cooking consists mainly of boiling water for drinks/freezer bag meals. Plus, the lid is a great skillet for some basic culinary feats-- I've used it to tast nuts, caramelize apples and onions, and even to grill little cheese sandwiches (although the intense heat conduction required me to use more oil than expected).
If you want something that enables you to cook massive pots of stew for a large party, look elsewhere. But if you hike on your own, make simple meals, and want to save volume/weight, this ain't a bad choice.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
I ordered this along with the Trek 700 Mug and the Mini-Solo so I could compare them all. This is the one I ended up keeping.
Trek 700 vs Mini-Solo: These are about the same in size/weight but the Mini-Solo comes with a mug and is 50% more expensive. It's the nicer of the two.
Pros: I kept the Trek 900 because it's only slightly larger than the 700/Mini-Solo models but the size allows for the storage of 2 of the larger fuel canisters (8oz/227g) or 1 canister and a stove. The mesh bag is extra tall so you could also put a fuel can + stove inside the container and stack another fuel canister on top and close the bag around it. This flexibility is great for extended trips.
It can boil enough water for two people at once (4 cups), is more stable than the other narrower units and only adds a marginal increase in size/weight. For me personally, it fits better over the flame on my stove so there's better heating efficiency. It also nests with several other Snow Peak sets/mugs if you want to go that route.
Cons:
I wish the handles were insulated like my old Evernew product. I put heat-shrink around them to help out. That frying pan thing is fairly useless. I would have preferred a simple lid to keep the size down or a drinking mug like the mini-solo.
It's marked at odd measuring increments. The imperial measurements on the side are 10, 20 & 25 ounces and the metric measurements are 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 liters. FYI, I think the .4 liter mark is about the 2 cups you need for cooking Mountain House.
The Snow-Peak titanium spork is too tall and does not fit in the canister. I had to put it between the canister and the mesh bag.
Overall: It's a very light, compact and efficient cookset for either one or two. Snow Peak could definitely improve a few aspects but it's certainly worth the modest sum.

Comments about Snow Peak Trek 900 Titanium Cookset:
Used this light set for solo backpacking. It would be great for two people as well. Sure, the handle gets a little warm, but it's a miniscule minor detail for a set this light. My MSR canister and my pocket rocket wrapped in a small pack towel fit inside perfectly. I like that detail. The net bag is big, but I also pack my GSI cup with it and it's fine. The size is perfect too.
