Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Overall I'm very happy with my purchase of this cook set. It's not too expensive but it's durable and packs very well. At 13.5 oz it's light, but keep in mind that it's also pretty small. 24 fl oz is the same as two cans of soda. The handle also serves as a latch to keep it all together which is a very nice touch. The two cups are well insulated and a good size. You can drink boiling hot coffee out of these cups and only feel a gentle warming of your hands. This set seems to be designed primarily for the backpacker with a propane/butane stove and it would be a great size for that as many other reviewers said. However, I use this set with a fire pit and placing it above the fire will take at least 15 mins to boil, but you can cut that down if you place it right down next to the logs or near the logs with some kindling around it (see pictures). That brings me to the flaw in the design... If you intend to use this cook set with a heat source anywhere but BELOW the set, then expect the plastic handle on the lid to melt. I placed this next to the fire for a couple minutes and saw it start to melt so I tried to form it back into shape using tongs (see pictures). I'm going to replace this part with something that can withstand the heat better (maybe a paper clip?) This is a solid cook set and it cleans off pretty easily. It pairs very well with the collapsible drip coffee maker as shown GSI Outdoors 79480 Collapsible Java Drip Coffee Maker. I would still recommend this product but I hope they change the design in the future.
