multi-functional cookset

I blew right past the more expensive, lighter-weight, titanium cook sets when I bought this set about a year ago. At the time I was looking for an inexpensive, simple means of boiling water for coffee and oatmeal for an overnighter I was going on the next day. Even though my packing skills (i.e. gear) have improved since then, I think that I would still buy this set again for a number of reasons.
The first is that I really like the tall/narrow profile of this set. It is indeed limiting in what it will allow you to cook on the trail, but as long as your needs are simple, I find that it is much easier for me to pack than some of the shorter/wider pots available. I normally stash this set in an easy-to-get-to water bottle pocket on my backpack, as an example.
Secondly, I really like the cups that come with the set, and even more the fact that two cups are even included. I understand that these cups would be a source of complaint for many backpackers as they are heavy and add about 6 ounces to your load, but they are insulated, don't scotch my lips, and they nest inside the pot with room to spare for my Gigapower stove (in it's case, even!). If I were going truly ultralight I know that I would probably be eating and drinking out of the same pot in which I would be cooking/boiling water, but having the extra cups makes sharing easier if you are hiking with a companion. Also, for me, the added weight is offset by the space savings from not having to pack a separate mug or bowl.
So far, I have primarily used this set for boiling water and making soup on the trail. The strainer lid feature means that I have found that this thing can make a really good cup of coffee. Instructions: Boil water in pot, let sit for one minute, add *coarse* ground coffee, stir and let sit for another 4-5 minutes. Fold handle back over the top of the pot to hold the lid in place, then slowly pour coffee through the strainer lid. Pour too fast and you might get some extra grounds in your cup.
In sum, this is a great set, especially for the price. It is made out of medium gauge stainless steel, which means more weight in your pack, but greater durability, and also better heat retention than aluminum or titanium. This, along with my Estwing Sportsman's Axe is one of the few comforts that I'll take on the trail despite its heavier weight.

Needs stove with small base
Wobblerite5 years ago
The bottom of this is just a tad over 3 inches in diameter and so the stove you use must be able to support small diameter pots. My dragonfly does not work. The cookset falls through to the burner. I was not able to use this with any of my current stoves.

Awesome cookset for us
10 years ago
My wife and I invested in one of these at a local sports retailer with a modest camping section 2 1/2 years ago for our first camping and backpacking adventures. Since then, we've spent ridiculous amounts on the lightest packs, tents, sleeping bags and pads, even a new titanium cookset. You know what we never ditched? this. We even bought a second. Sure it weighs a few ounces more than my titanium cookset. but not much. and that doesnt come with these awesome cups we use for everything from coffee, to hot cocoa, to wine, to water.. so easy to clean, and also it is actually campfire friendly for car camping. we've it them for both, and it's a staple in our backpack. usually the titanium stuff ends up left at home unless im going out solo and my other pot holds my stove and canister, only cause its wider. as a couple on the trail, this thing is our favorite cookset. go stanley!

This is my third purchase, buy it.

This is simply the best pot combo I have used, and has actually replaced lighter and more expensive gear in my bag. It is the third, because one was in my truck when the truck was stolen, and the other I gave to a friend. (It’s that good) Take one of the cups out, and the pot will fit a small butane stove AND fuel canister, (along with a couple of packets of three-in-one instant coffee) and with the lid latched over top of it all. Stove, fuel, insulated cup, coffee, and pot - all in one handy unit. An essential part of my trail bag.

Simple and strong

So far I’m loving this product. I ditched the two small plastic cups included, and I replaced the plastic tab on the lid with a keyring, but the basics of this product are solid. Handle is solid and locks well, lid fits well, pour spout is functional.

Exactly what I wanted
7 years ago
I recently purchased a backpacking stove, and naturally needed something to put the water in that I wanted to heat up. Thanks to some friends I went camping with who had great little plastic cups, I also wanted a set of cups to enjoy coffee in. Lo and behold, the Adventure set! It's such a well-thought out cup with a locking mechanism in the folding handle, and stackable cups. If you don't need the cups, you can put a 4oz fuel inside the canister instead. The one downfall I noticed is that food being cooked in this scorched the bottom a bit, and I couldn't get the spot off when I tried cleaning it at home. But, for something meant to be used in nature, I better get used to it being a little roughed up. Highly recommend this set!

Great all arounder for hiking
5 years ago
While I agree with some of the critics here, this set works great for me. Cost effective, acceptable pack weight/size & functional. Sits well and heats up quickly on my MSR Pocket Rocket stove, despite long, narrow shape. Great for tea/coffee and eating instant meals right out of the pot (eg: rice, noodles etc). Cups are well insulated and a real convenient fit, inside the pot. Recommend strongly for beginner, until you find what's right for your pack. Still using mine.

Great beginner cookset!
7 years ago
Love this cookset. The only downside is that it is relatively tall and you have to be super careful when putting it atop some stoves. Also, it is stainless steel which isn’t nearly as light as titanium, but you really can’t beat the price compared to other cooksets. I don’t use the included cups because they’re too heavy, but I am able to fit a MSR gas canister (small) in it along with a cloth for drying, sponge for cleaning, soap for washing, lighter for lighting, and a foldable titanium spork for eating. Really great beginner cookset for the price!

Great starter set
5 years ago
I've had this set for a couple years now and it's well designed. The 2 cups nest perfectly in the pot, the handle keeps the lid on and all of it inside. If you use a cat food can stove, that will fit in there too, along with matches and a measuring cup for fuel, etc. Also, if you take a 110g fuel canister, that'll fit in there too, perfect diameter. IIRC you have to remove 1 cup for it to fit. It is a skinny pot, so type of stove matters. With a fancy feast stove, windscreen placement is critical, and hard to get right. Since it's stainless steel, cleanup is pretty easy. However, stainless steel is also its greatest weakness. As with titanium, heat transfer of stainless steel is nowhere near as good as aluminum. And frankly, a tall narrow pot seems to be slower to boil, all things being equal (sometimes you never do get a boil, even in moderate temps). A shorter, wider stainless steel mug boils more readily, and an aluminum pot boils much more readily. I wish Stanley would make this in aluminum; I'd definitely try it out. The cups are nice and they insulate well, even without any lids on them. The top doesn't just vent steam, but you can use the holes to strain water from pasta. Great product to start with.

Two things would make it perfect
9 years ago
I have been using this set for a couple years now an absolutely love it. Yes, there are lighter cookpots out there, but they are not as functional, or durable. Titanium flexes too much and gives food an odd taste in my opinion. I prefer good old fashionable stainless steel. Some of my buddies have this set and ditch one cup to save weight. I still carry both because i want my codde and oatmeal together. As i said two things would make this set perfect. I've heard of people buying a cheapo french press, and using just the filer and plunger with the pot, so there is no need to bring a seperate french press. Also a lid for the cups would be great for keeping the morning cup of joe piping hot. I have yet to find a lid or french press filter and plunger that will work with this set. Stanley would be dominiating the market if they upgraded this for a version 2.

Decent design
8 years ago
This is a pretty standard design. Works fine on a small portable stove but I'm unsure about using it on an open fire. The reason being that the lid has a plastic handle that would likely melt if any flames lick it.
