If you could carry only one pot on your next technical adventure this would be purist's choice.

Designed for maximum heating efficiency, rounded bottom edges offer more surface area to the flame
A dripless spout controls the flow and the tight fitting lid won't come loose halfway through the pour
Folding wire handles fold flush to minimize space in the pack

Superior strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is 45% lighter than steel and stronger than aluminum. Titanium also offers excellent corrosion resistance and is chemically nonreactive.

Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

As a solo minimalist, I really like this puppy! It has enough useful capacity (3cups/750ml) for me, myself and I. The handles do get a bit hot, but are easily handled with the pliers of my ever-present multi-tool. A few tricks I picked up: Note that there are three rows of three indentations on the inside of the kettle (where the rivets connect to the handle). These rivets are strategically placed at the one, two and three cup levels. I've also found out that an 8 oz. MSR ISOPRO cannister fits perfectly and rattle free inside the kettle with room to throw in a couple of other small items.

It's not absolutely PERFECT but it's pretty close. Since there is no 4.5 rating, I give this little gem a 5.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

Since the handles were too short, I fashioned some coat hangers as replacement. Now they extend about 3 inches out. This was the key modification and it has been my essential pot for a few years now. I dont know why they built it with such short handles in the first place.

I also drilled the hole a little bigger in the lid and it pours a lot better and can be used as noodle strainer.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

The kettle is a quality product. I like it in all ways except for the following. I like to repackage my dehydrated food in lighter, smaller ziplock bags. They pack easier into a bear can. I use my kettle to heat water and then add the food into the kettle, sometimes let it simmer for a little bit to aid rehydration, and eat it right out of the pot. It works great with the contents of a backpacker food package for 2 people as long as it calls for only 2 cups of water. Anything over that doesn't fit. If it accommodated another 1/2 cup of water, it would be perfect.

Handy kettle to boil water

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

The best part of this kettle is that it will exactly fit an isobutane fuel canister. Combined with a compact stove like MSR Pocket Rocket or Snowpeak stove, it makes an excellent soloist cookset to boil water for dehydrated meals. Lid fits very snugly.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

I think this is a great pot. it is really light weight and compact. its great for people who like ultralight gear because it weighs like 2 ounces.
the only problem i have with it, is that the handels get too hot, and that the lid is too tight which makes it hard to look in too it when your cooking.
if your thinking about getting this pot i would recomend getting a pot lifter because the handels on it get really hot. and its easer lifting it with that then lifting the pot with your sleeping bag or your shirt.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

There's no question this is about as perfect a cooking item as you could want in your backpack. We found, however, that if we wanted to cook an entree or breakfast, plus a beverage like coffee, having two of these was the optimum. And, since you can stash a Pocket Rocket in one and a fuel can in the other, there's no wasted space! Yes, they are expensive; but IMO, they are absolutely worth the price. I JUST WISH THERE WERE FLUID VOLUME SCORE MARKS ON THE SIDE, LIKE 1 CUP AND 2 CUPS.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

Titanium equipment is super-light, but also expensive. This is one piece of Ti cookware that's worth it. This is best suited for cooking about 2 cups (maybe 2 1/2 cups) or less, which is a good size for ramen noodles, oatmeal, rice, spaghetti (break the noodles in half!), etc., for 1-2 persons -- which also means you can use it as a single pot, and then leave the rest of the pots and pans at home. It's also perfectly sized for using with alcohol or "soda can" stoves.

Tip: You'll need pack a pot clamp or lifter with you when using this - the thin wire handles will get too hot to grab with your bare hands.

Comments about MSR Titan Tea Kettle:

I bought this little kettle after I received a Pocket Rocket stove for a birthday gift. I use the kettle with the PR as a light-weight, minimal cooking solution. The handles DO get hot, but that has been my only issue. I use a little makeshift "pot holder" that I fold and stuff into the PR case that also prevents the stove from rattling. Compared to the Jet Boil, it's lighter and I actually like packing two smaller items (stove and kettle containing fuel canister) as opposed to the bigger Jet Boil unit. The Jet Boil is a great product, just not the one I have in my pack. People have complained about the lack of measure lines... Either make a mark yourself on the outside, or measure a cup of water ahead time so you know how much it "looks like" in the pot. It doesn't have to be perfect for a freeze dried meal. Pricey, but I got the PR as a gift so I didn't mind. Amazingly light and right!!!

This kettle serves double duty as both my cooking pot and drinking cup. In respone to the handles getting hot, I took some tygon tubing, cut it open, attached it to the handles, and secured it with small electrical ties.
