I've taken this out three times already. It works very well for small amounts of water. Great for single serve coffee, tea, MRE's etc. Light weight and I've had no issues with the handle. Keep it upright during heating and don't put it over an oversized flame. This isn't designed for a large open flame. I use it with the GSI Glacier Camp Stove and it's perfect. The burner even stows away inside of the kettle!

Kettle looks brilliant, and is very lightweight.Unfortunately the new design by which the handles attach to the body (see photo) are slightly taller than previously meaning when you try to stack it in your Trangia 25, the frying pan no longer fits flat on top. Some people might not mind this, but I didn’t like the idea of it scratching or denting the frying pan if you were to secure it tightly.

Alles super, schön leicht, Henkel rastet ein bei senkrechter Stellung, große Öffnung.... Empfehlenswert.

Great little stove kettle , when unboxing the product I realised it was a lot smaller than I imagined however it still holds 1 litre, feels and looks good quality , no control concerns.

Very high quality product

Pratique pour la forme ,la matière facile à nettoyée.Par contre la contenance est juste juste .....un litre il ne faut pas bouger

This thing is the bomb. It is lightweight, sturdy and just works really well. It transfers the heat into the water very efficiently. It is not non-stick, but pretty easy to clean. It doesn't seem to scratch easily in my experience and it will heat a decent amount of water at once. You can use it for more than water or coffee - you can cook in it too. It can easily be your single pot for everything.You can fit one of the smaller, mixed gas cylinders inside it.You can get one with a complete mess kit that fits inside, but this is the one that is just the kettle with nothing else.You do want to be careful with the handles. Cook with the handles straight up so they can't come in contact with flame/intense heat of a stove. On the highest setting with some stoves, the flames will lick up around the edges, but that is true of almost any lightweight, backpacking cookware. I also wouldn't ever use it with a campfire - the little spout is always open to ash etc. and the heat-resistant handles would melt. But it works great with a Pocket Rocket stove. It works so well you have to watch it carefully. That stove and this pot boil water really, really fast, even in colder weather. I think it is because the wider surface area at the bottom more effectively catches all the stove's heat than a narrower pot.

After spending time this weekend with this little kettle, it's clear that kettles are pretty critical for car camping. You need the for tea or coffee or soup/instant noodles or to warm a bucket of water for cleaning.... Can you survive without one on a car camping trip? sure. Would you want to? Heeeeeck no. The compact nature of this unit makes it a little more convenient to pack, but what I've learned this trip is, if you're running really low on space and need to go uber compact, take this kettle. If you can load up the car and afford to take a larger kettle, do so. a kettle is worth the space and weight cost.That said, the likelihood of me bringing this on my next solo backpacking trip is pretty low. when hiking solo, 1 GSI cup for heating and drinking is enough, a kettle, no matter how compact, just isn't worth the weight and space resources.----As long as you're drinking from 8 oz cups, this little kettle is good for about 4 cups of coffee.If you're alone, this may be a bit of a luxury, but if you're two people, this is perfect. And if you don't mind making morning coffee in batches, then this will do just fine.I've done two survival test backpacking trips this year. It'd really nothing more than a simple test to see if I can stay out and about for a few days and still make it back without getting sick. On both of these trips, I went alone. This kettle would be overkill on such one person backpacking trips, but if you're a couple backpacking together or two friends, this would just about be perfect.Given the silicone overlay on the handles, this kettle is not well suited for campfires, but a small alcohol, gas stove, or a small coal or fire, this should be okay.The biggest shocker is how light it is. It's hard to believe. It feels solid, it looks solid, but it weighs less than the uber thin mess kits I've used as a kid. Hard to believe but this is more durable than those kits. I did a little test today and it worked just fine. And with a car camping trip planned for this weekend, I can't wait to test this out with some cowboy coffee in the mornings.Some other little notes. While this little kettle seems very sturdy, certainly sturdier than any plain aluminium mess kits, it's still based on aluminum, and therefore not immune to dents. Also, there must be some kind of coating on it because the first test yielded quite a bit of smoke. The second test was much less, so there's some burnoff that needs to happen before you can really use this.Another note, as you can tell from the image, there is a little notch in the main kettle handle. And this is well balanced for hanging off a tripod. Again, though, the silicone will probably melt fairly early on in usage, though it shouldn't be hard to re-coat with something if you're so inclined.It heats very fast, but also cools very fast, so I'd imagine that you would want to drink as soon as the water is boiling. As an owner of the GSI cup, I did notice that the cup is thicker and heavier than the kettle despite being smaller.All in all, though, I truly like this cool little kettle and as it's ideal for a compact alcohol or gas stove, it will likely be a stable part of my 3 day emergency bug-out bag when not in use as a car camping essential.

Recently I've been upgrading my camping gear and puchased one of the Solo Stoves so I was looking for a small kettle that would fit nicely on it. I ordered this GSI Outdoors Halulite Tea Kettle cause it was small and the price was right. Much like anything else I've never owned before that I order online, it was a crap shoot. Once I got, I was very pleasantly surprised by it's quality right out of the box. I've already taken it out camping twice since I've gotten it and it not only fits on my Solo Stove perfectly (as if it was made for it ;-)), it stands up to being beat up at the camp site and getting knocked around in my bag on hikes (so far, no dents whatsoever). I love the big opening because not only did I boil water in it, but also used it to heat up my soup, which I threw in some bits of veggies and meat to make a stew out of. So it has more uses than just a "tea kettle".. you can use it as a pot as well. I've read some other reviews that the handle melts but that wasn't the case in my experience. Maybe those folks put this little guy on some larger fires, if so I could see how they melted their handles.. but using this kettle/pot on the Solo Stove, my handles are still perfectly intact. It seems I made the right choice with this purchase... it works great, has more uses than just a tea kettle (you can easily use it as a pot too), fits nicely in my backpack (very small footprint), and is a very sturdy little guy. I'd recommend this to a friend (actually already have).
