One step forward....
So much to love about this recent update to the Titan. I used the previous iteration for several years, and just finished a month in Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia with the new one. The increased volume, measurement marks and coated handles are welcome improvements. The big drawback is the quality/durability of the silicone, both the lid lifter and the handle coating. After a month of use, the silicone is worn/ripped/torn. Definitely won't be getting years of use out of this new pot. No worries though, I still have the old one!
Great product but a little pricey.
I bought this cook pot to pair with my MSR Pocketrocket Deluxe which it does very well. However my main issue with this pot is the price, I mean $65 is a lot for a titanium pot. I suspect it is mostly brand you’re paying for when buying this item for $65. If you want a cook pot that has almost the same features with high grade titanium as well for a lower price, I’d go look at the Evolved Supply Co 1100 mL cook pot. It is around $46 and sold by a small company.
Back to the drawing board
Great kettle except for the lid button. The black silicone tab gave out by being sliced by the sharp rough hole it sits inside of. Luckily my bamboo toothbrush was able to open it by sticking the handle inside and prying it up.
Mixed bag.
The second generation Titan Kettle is a bit of a mixed bag. The good: the lid fits MUCH better now (almost spilled boiling water when on my stove cause it almost lifted the kettle with it!), the silicone wrapped handles are very nice, the shape of the handles now makes sense for a human hand, and there are graduated markings inside. MSR says the spout "pours better", but it seems about the same to me. The titanium seems slightly thicker/stronger, as the kettle is much less prone to flexing than the first generation (and is only slightly heavier at 4.4oz compared to 4.2oz). We'll have to see if this translates to longer boils or not. The bad: the hybrid silicone handle/lid hanger is a complete gimmick. Not only is it a potential failure point, but once it fails you have absolutely no way to remove the lid anymore. You'll have to get really creative to make a new handle that won't fail, as the silicone one is mounted smack dab in the middle of the lid. I'm certain the first failure on the pot will be the skinny silicone grab handle; the bulk of the handle *should* stay put in the lid, but the portion you actually grab stretches a concerning amount when tugging the lid off of a boiling pot. I'm already planning on replacing it with something riveted, or even a screw with a wingnut on the end. I have very little confidence in using this kettle anywhere near an actual fire, as I find it likely that the silicone is affected and suffers a shorter life. The annoying: the extra capacity is awesome, you can actually boil 3 cups (or 2 cups with noodles in it) without constantly worrying about boil-over like the older, squatter/wider Titan 850ml. But why, why, WHY do the graduations stop at 16oz, with an unmarked 20oz above? You couldn't at least mark to 24oz for a nice even 3 cups? There's a solid 1.5 inches above the final graduation that is just empty all the way around the kettle; it looks lazy and unfinished. The one saving grace is there is kind of something like the old Titan (where the rivets lined up in cup increments) or my Stanley Adventure Cup (marked to 16oz, 24oz is exactly where there is a sharp line where the cup flares to a wider diameter, basically a marked graduation); 3 cups will put you right at the bottom of the spout. While yes, it technically works, I'd expect a nearly $70 kettle to have the extra attention paid to have consistent graduations, especially to the probably second most common amount of water to boil. Torn on the kettle overall. Feels very nice in the hand, the reduced width/increased height makes it actually fit into side mesh pockets on my pack, the lid fits a million times better, and the handles don't require reversal like the previous gen. But the gimmicky silicone lid and the apparent laziness with the graduation leaves a sour taste in my mouth that's tempting me to go back to my local REI and buy back my trade-in first generation Titan. This second generation would be a 9.5/10 if it had the same locking lid handle as the first generation; hopefully MSR makes either update kits or sells the silicone grab pieces by themselves, as after only a few test tugs I REALLY don't trust it. Or I'll be stopping by the hardware store for a short screw and a wingnut.
Great for solo travelers
So far this kettle has been excellent. It weighs 2 grams more than the 700 mL titanium pot I was using before in my ultralight cooking setup, and it’s wider than the 700mL pot. Being wider makes the pot more stable on the stove and off, and lets me turn the flame on the stove up higher for faster, more efficient cooking. The pour spout and the insulated handle are nice touches, too. Being able to fit a Pocket Rocket Deluxe and a small fuel canister in the kettle make this an excellent ultralight cooking setup for one person.
One step forward....
There's a lot to like about the updated Titan pot. I've used the previous version for many years, and just finished a month in Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia with the new model. The increased volume, measurement marks and coated handles are all welcome improvements. However, the quality/durability of the silicone is poor. There lid lifter and handle coating are all ripped and worn from only a month's use. Definitely won't be getting years of use out of this new version. Back to the old one it seems.
Excellent, but could be better
I've had and used the Titan kettle for years. As part of my cook set (consisting of the kettle, lid, Pocket Rocket 2, a titanium folding spark, 4oz MSR Isobutane canister, piezo igniter, Snow Peak's Hotlips, and Toaks bag) I carry it in my rucksack whenever out in the mountains. The model I have has a silicone coated titanium lifting handle that flips down flat and looks in the upright position. I drlled drain holes in the rim to drain water. My version doesn't have the gradations on the side, nor does it have the silicone on the handles. My issue is with the new top. The older design has a better lid, with the exception of the drain hole. It folds flat! The newer model has a silicone handle that always sticks up, but still doesn't have drain holes! Best small mountaineering cookset for spring, summer, and fall trips.
Perfect!
Perfect! MSR sure got this right. These kettles can be used for boiling water and cooking food. Nest perfectly within each other for compact storage. I own all the old style kettles, but these are better.
Perfect Fit
I needed just a little bit bigger pot to nest my cup and fuel cannister; my luxury item is a kettle. The Titan 900ml was the perfect fit. I've ditched my old kettle and my toaks pot and now have a nice nesting kit.
Great kettle
Well made ultra light kettle. I have the previous version as well. I don't know how the handle will hold up with open flame. Titanium is the way to go if you want to save weight and want to avoid aluminum.
