Pot recommendations needed

Post by mattpage »

I have a Jetboil already and while its brilliant, it is also quite big.

So I am after a pot that I can combine with a micro Alpkit Kraku stove I have. Ideally to also fit a small gas canister inside it and extra small bits maybe.

Lightweight, titanium I am guessing.

I have a 600ml Alpkit mug, 96mm ID I think, and a gas canister fits inside perfectly. A load of space on top for the small stoves like a Kraku, few days worth of coffee etc.

Edit, thanks Stuart, 650 it will be.

As James says the Alpkit 650 is the pot of choice for many and especially those who use gas.

PlanetX have a 450ml with lid that would also do the job for £20 but you'd need to check whether you'd get your stove inside along with the canister, pot's 70mm high.

It looks like the 650 is out of stock unfortunately.
Any other brands of a similar size that would be recommended?

Alpkit do have the 400, but I expect that will be too big.

Snap, was going to suggest Somango... 🤷‍♂️
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

I have a GSI pot and it’s been fantastic.

Great for boiling water, less good for cooking in though

As a quick update the Toaks mug arrived today - a decent 77g with lid.
A gas canister fits in nicely with a 110g leaving plenty of space. It might even fit a 240g, although I don't have one to test.

And as a nice little bonus, the coffee press for the Jetboil that I already had also fits.
