Great cookset!
jim: 
I hate carrying a lot of weight on my back. I ditched my old cook set and went with this Snowpeak titanium cook set. I highly recommend it. You can pick it up when it's hot (the little handles don't seem to conduct much heat). Another really cool feature: when your water (or whatever) is boiling, the lid makes a faint jingling sound. No need to keep checking it. Just wait until you hear the sound.
perfect...at least for one
Amy Leigh:
This is a perfect ultralight cookset for one person. It could come up a bit short if you need enough water for two meals, and I have used it primarily as a tool for boiling water. However, if I do try "actual cooking" in the pot, I believe it will work better than in other set because of the depth-other pots are much shallower and therefore prone to liquid boiling over, etc. Since the pot fits down into the mug, the interior of the pot is free to pack in a micro stove or whatever (as opposed to other "nested" sets, which, though they fit together, they represent an overall bulk item in your pack). Also, in response to the reviewer who said the lid doesn't fit the mug, actually if you flip it over it does fit over the mug (just not tightly inside like it does in the pot). I'm impressed with the quality and highly recommend this set.
Snow Peak Solo
MedicineMan:
You will have to decide whether you want a tall pot or a more squat pot. If you want a 'taller' pot then there is no better one than the Snow Peak Solo. For several years I tended to keep my kitchen in an outer side pocket of the Mithril-this meant a taller pot was the way. The Snow Peak Solo has covered almost a 1000 miles of the AT with me, several hundred miles in many national parks, and been taken on too many paddle trips to remember. It still is dent free, it still heats up and cleans quickly. The fact that the cup nestles onto the bottom is a nice feature (I avoid putting anything flavored into a bladder and the cup is nice for drink mixes). I've got a Snow Peak stove but discovered alcohol stoves (I use a Brasslite) and prefer them over lugging an empty canister out. An alcohol stove, a pot gripper, mini-bic, micro scrub set, and leatherman micra all fit inside. To keep things from rattling I stuff in a water bag.My only complaint on the Solo pot is the little triangle lifter on the lid-it is hard to pull off the lid with just it, that is using the pot gripper.All in all a great product that, like the Brasslite stoves, should become an heirloom.
not really a cookset
ferg: 
While light, versatile and having good capacity, this 'cookset' doesnt really stand up to close flames. Charred severely on the first usage.
mini solo
jec: 
The size and weight pack well. I am not to sure about doing much other than boiling water with it. I have used this pot with several alcohol stoves with good results.
