MSR Titan Ultralight Titanium Backpacking Kettle — 0.85L, 4.2 oz with Lid

Overview

Designed for fast and light adventures, the MSR Titan Ultralight Kettle is forged from durable titanium and weighs just 4.2 oz with the lid. Its compact 0.85-liter capacity makes it ideal for solo meals, coffee, or tea on the trail, while the tight-fitting lid and drip-free spout simplify pouring in tent or camp settings. The kettle measures 4.6 x 3.8 inches, maintaining a small footprint inside a pack or when tucked into a cook system.

Versatility is built into the design: this kettle can function as a pot, mug, or small bowl, and it is crafted to nest with the MSR Titan Cup (sold separately) for a tidy, single-shelf setup. The combination provides a cohesive cooking solution that balances weight and practicality for backpackers who value efficiency without sacrificing reliability.
