Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

My wife and I were looking for a little more volume in our next cook pot when we came across the GSI Kettle at our local REI. 4 cups (1 quart) fills it to the bottom of the spout and it pours perfectly. It’s short and squat with a lot of surface area along the bottom for excellent heat transfer. Perfect for our style of backcountry cooking which amounts to no more than preparing boiling water for freeze-dried meals and hot beverages. Also, while this may sound strange for a tea kettle review, it’s a great looking piece of gear. Our last cook pot was anodized aluminum as well and this kettle should last years and years. Its design caught our eye, and its lightweight (and light price) sold us.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

A friend and I just got back from a trip to the Smokies. We usually carry the soloist on our trips and use it for all our cooking. On this trip we decided to try and use this kettle for all cooking and leave the soloist at home to save weight. Let me just say that I am sold on our new cooking system. This kettle is super light, durable and stable. The snow peak stove fits right inside and the spout on the pot makes pouring hot water into a pouch into a one man job. We were able to free up tons of time with this little pot and didn't miss out on any other luxuries.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

I don't like to cook when at home. I certainly don't want to cook when camping. So-- my needs involve freeze dried or freezer bag cooking, or boiling to purify water or to make a hot water bottle for a sleeping bag. Boiling and pouring. Boiling and pouring. The GSI kettle does both extremely well. If you needed to, you could hang the kettle over a fire or coals from the handle. And if you HAD to cook in it, the opening is big enough to do so. If your needs involve mostly boiling and pouring, the GSI kettle is as light as a comparatively sized titanium pot. It's also cheaper and more practical.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

Great addition to my BP system of cooking. I do alot of hiking with boy scouts. The other men and I drink coffee. While the boys are still boiling water, we men are enjoying our coffee.

Gave one star off because the handle needs to be attached better to the pot. Kind of cheap and can get hung up or tear items in the pack. Have to becareful with it.

It's nice to not have to use a glove or rags to pour your water.

I'm going to try putting a cork in the pour spout to see if that shortens the boil time even more.

Ditched my large nesting pot and took the Kettle. Pours great & heats quick. Used it for instant oatmeal, easy-mac, raman or anything that needed boiling water. Before long other backpackers were borrowing it.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

My fiance and I got this little tea kettle a little over a year ago. It is so versitile that we rarely use our expensive cookset. We have pretty much switched to all dehydrated meals. Boil water in the tea kettle and eat, we make instant mashed potatos in it. Cleans up real quick, for coffee or tea in the morning. Love it, no other cookware needed. I have been less than gentle with this little pot as well. It does not show though, the construction is top notch.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

I used it to boil water for coffee. It is super! It boils water so fast. I did not spill when I made my coffee. It is light weight and the price is right. I only do car camping so I am not sure how it would work for heavy duty campers.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

Excellent light weight teapot. I use it for boiling drinking water and for cooking. The handles stay cool and the teapot pours nicely. When solo I use it for one pot meals and eat right out of it. The anodized metal is easy to clean and the product seems to have an overall solid construction. Some smaller backpacking stoves may fit inside of it to save packing space, my MSR Dragonfly does not. Win some. Lose some.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

Love this little thing! Extremely durable, lightweight, and packs in tightly. However, on our "family" outings when we do the full car camping experience and I have 6 people waiting on coffee in the morning this unit doesn't cut mustard. If you're heading out for high speed, low drag situations in the back country, then this is the best way to go and you will not be disappointed. If you want large capacity, spend your dime on something else.

Comments about GSI Hae Tea Kettle:

My kettle evolved from a way to boil water into my do it all cook kit. Then one day I noticed the black paint on the inside had worn off into my food. Man I hope that is not lead paint. The little kettle seemed ideal for cooking. Even cooking directly on the fire. If someone makes a titanium kettle just like that I will buy one. Cooking on the fire was certainly a lot easier with a tea kettle, so I could grab the up right handle out of the fire without burning my hand.
