I wanted to try out a more traditional shaped cooking vessel for backpacking. I have the snow peak trekker set and love it for its durability and overall features. But I wanted something wide like the 1400 made by snowpeak but shorter.
I snagged an Evernew 0.9l ultralight.
It is noticeably lighter and the pot will flex some where the snow peak did not but this is like I said. Noticeably lighter. And it's titanium material means stronger than you'd think.
The overall shape means I have to relearn how to pack my stuff. For example, my windscreen wrapped around my water bottle instead of inside the cook pot.

So far I really like the traditional shape of this pot, the wider surface area for my alcohol stoves as well as a traditional and functional lid.
I was able to cook a regular sized complete box of Mac and cheese and have room to add some meat to it such as dehydrated hamburger or summer sausage.

I was able to get a perfect simmer using the simmer ring on my Trangia stove.

No burnt noodles or sticking of the food.
Clean up was super easy with the wide shape.
So far I love the purchase!!
