Good quality, although there are small flaws, such as uneven legs. The stove is not as versatile as a gas one – it works slower, leaves a soot deposit (when using Flambit bioethanol) and requires more precise adjustment. On the plus side, there’s no risk of the cylinder or burner becoming unsealed or exploding, no need for special winter fuel, and the fuel itself is much cheaper and available even in small village shops, which cannot be said for the EN417 cartridge.
A compact travel set consisting of a pot made of high-quality stainless steel, a spirit burner and a stand. The material from which the set is made determines its low weight and high durability.
The handles attached to the pot are foldable, which has a real impact on minimizing the space taken up in the outfit. There is also a shatterproof embossed measuring cup on the pot, which allows precise dispensing of the contents.
Faster cooking and longer maintenance of the temperature of the prepared meal or water is facilitated by an extension in the form of a smaller pot. The extension has a handle, thanks to which it can be freely put on or taken off .
The stand, which is also a shield for the heat generated by combustion, fits freely into the pot, thus saving even more space in your equipment.

A good set for one person or two minimalists. The pot’s capacity seems smaller than stated – my measuring utensils showed a maximum of 930-950 ml. You can easily boil about 800-850 ml of water. When cooking thicker dishes, you need to watch out for burning. It’s a pity that the stove base doesn’t protect the flame from the wind. The lid works great as a saucepan, mess tin, or small frying pan. The burner works excellently – I used methylated spirit. It’s a good compromise between weight and functionality. It could use better wind protection and a slightly thicker pot bottom, but despite that, the pot does its job and lets you prepare a warm meal.

I have no major complaints, just be careful when adjusting the flame – it’s best to shield the stove slightly, because when the fuel heats up, it’s easy to burn the pot.

Great and complete set. I tested it and boiling 750 ml takes 13 minutes. Stainless steel makes it lighter, but more solid than aluminium. I definitely recommend it.
-
Not used yet, but the workmanship seems very solid and inspires confidence.
-
The set is carefully made and very spacious. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

A solid and aesthetically pleasing set. A big advantage is the lid with handles. The whole set is well-designed – it’s easy to fit the components inside each other, like Russian dolls. It’s light and thoughtfully practical.
