Half-Pint 700mL Mug-Pot
Evernew Titanium
Evernew’s Titanium Half-Pint Mug-Pot is a testament to minimalist design executed flawlessly. This 700ml mug-pot blurs the lines between a drinking vessel and a cooking pot, designed for the truly ultralight solo backpacker who needs to boil water and nothing else complex. It's constructed from ultra-thin titanium, achieving an almost unbelievable lightness in hand. The handles, while simple, are functional and fold flat against the body for efficient packing. The capacity is ideal for a generously sized coffee, tea, or a single serving of rehydrated trail food. What sets Evernew apart is their attention to detail in material and construction, resulting in extremely lightweight yet surprisingly rigid titanium. The lid fits snugly, with a small handle that’s easy to manipulate. Like other titanium pots, its strength is rapid boiling; anything more involved, like simmering, will be a challenge due to uneven heat. Its form factor allows for a small fuel canister and a micro-stove to nest inside, making it a very compact and self-contained cook system. If you value ounces above all else and your backcountry meals primarily involve adding hot water, this Evernew mug-pot is an elite, no-frills choice.
