Self contained cook system
Has all you need for an alcohol cook system, it’s not titanium ultra light but it’s a good solid well built cook stove for camping.It is still light, has a great burner and all stacks inside itself, I even got my titanium cup a lighter and spoon inside too.Very versatile.I didn’t know which one to get, anodised looks good and is tough, light but you can’t cook certain acidic foods in them, if you get the polished one it’s heavier and has soldering for the handles.I like the covered handles, really helps with the accidental burn of picking the pot up.Really well made but is expensive.If you prefer alcohol stoves, this is a great choice.Remember, the pots are going to look black and worn out after a couple of camping trips, that’s normal, never use a metallic scourer to clean them either.

Still one of the best set out there, given the Use Case
This is still one of the best cook sets out there, given the Use Case...I USE THIS FOR:1) Generally shorter trips. I know every ounce counts, in theory... but that's at around the 4-5+ day mark. I need to give a stove to someone else. I can carry a couple of extra ounces for a couple of days2) I let other people us it, especially those new to backpacking, and we were all new to backpacking at one point. It's spot-on simple, wont break or blow up.3) I use it when I need a simpler solution and one that doesn't really look obviously like a camping stove. Like an outdoor unheated shelter or in a hotel room to boil water for tea or coffee. It's just handy to have around.4) It's excellent for car camping, as an extra burner to boil water for whatever.There was a previous version that had a heat exchanger attached to the bottom. That bottom was nice, but always got caught on the bag, and to me, was a bit of a pain. This is nice and smooth and there is a bevel on the bottom to fit in the burner cage.I DO NOT USE THIS FOR:1) Extended trips where ounces DO matter. This is not my preferred solution. On true distance hikes, I use a Trangia burner, Liberty Mountain triangle holder and a windscreeen with a GSI Soloist or Dualist, depending on how many people are going. There are lighter solutions, but this is the right weight/durability solution for me.2) Some gear you are betting your life on. As a cooking solution where it HAS to work, no matter what, it's the Trangia 27 (smaller size). True story - was camping the night of Snowmagedden outside of DC. That was BS snow and wind, and the Trangia was happily boiling ramen noodles, completely exposed to the elements. That built up a lot of trust. Pretty heavy, but if you are betting your life on it working, the 27 is The One...Anyhoo, this esbit is a great piece of kit. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Kleines Packmaß und leicht
Fürs Picknick und Zelten gekauft, um mir Wasser für meine Kaffee Wacaco Pipamoka Kanne und Trockenbeutel Nahrung heiß zu machen.Vor dem Kauf viele YT Rezensionen zum Set geschaut, im TV sah das immer sehr groß aus, aber in Realität ist es kleiner, aber mit großem Fassungsvermögen.Verarbeitung wertig, super kleines Packmaß, da ja alles was dabei ist, im großen Topf verstaut wird. Gut das bei dem Set Titan auch die Esbit Tabletten Wanne dabei ist, wieso das beim Edelstahlset nicht so ist, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis.Somit, wenn einem mal der Spiritus ausgeht, kann man auf die Esbit Tabs ausweichen. So ist man gerüstet, Setzt man z. B nur auf Gasbrenner und die Dose ist leer, und hat keine Ersatz Dose dabei, hat man ein Problem. Ist her nicht der Fall, da man ja auf Esbit Tabs, wenn man die für Notfall dabei hat, drauf setzen kann. Super. Testlauf/Funktionsüberprüfung in der Wohnung mit dem Esbit Spiritusbrenner, ca. 300ml Wasser waren in 10 Minuten ohne Wind am Kochen. Mir ist die Zeit egal, Hauptsache es funktioniert draußen Fehlerfrei. Nun kann ich mir draußen, wenn ich mit dem Hund länger im Wald/See unterwegs bin, Kaffee machen, oder auch mal eine Mahlzeit Trockenbeutel Nahrung machen.
