My Ultra Light Cookset consist of the GSI Kettle 1 Liter, The White Box Stove & REI Ti Ware Folding Spoon. I am looking to kind of create more of a "minimalist" cookset using a 1.5" tall alky stove (compare to the WBS 2..25" tall) and it weight just little less. It has the same diameter. I assume they are using the sampel bottle. I wanted a smaller pot. What are you thoughts on this one? I am familiar with the the Backcountry.com 700ml, but it is kind of pricy. This Snow Peak one is only $21.95 Any thought? It aslo comes with a mesh sack.

Depending on your diet, You could get by with such a small cup.
But, Noodle side dishes require 16 ounces of liquid to prepare properly, I am not sure about Rice Sides since I prefer Noodles.
I would think you would be better served with Snow Peak 450 which holds 14 ounces and weighs 2.4 oz. or the highly popular Snow Peak Trek 700, Although it weighs 4.8 oz., It holds 24 fluid ounces and has a lid to optimize your boiling time and fuel conservation.
Basegear.com has it for 39.95 and enter the coupon code MEMBER20 and it brings the price down to 31.96, Order 50 dollars of gear and get free shipping.

It is a very sturdy piece of gear and though a little more weight and money will serve you well and last a very long time.

Really need more info on how you cook or plan on using it. I think 10 oz is a little light. You also need a little head space.
too small unless you're just drinking coffee out of it. that amount of fluid it says it holds is filled to the brim... get a 600 +

I used a Trek 700 on my thru. It would be hard to cook much in anything smaller. Also with thru-hunger I often wanted something bigger so I could cook large dinners but I think the 700 was the best of both worlds. If you are going to carry a stove you might as well have a pot that can handle a real meal.
If you are wanting to use a alcy stove you may have a problem with that pot. I recently bought a Cobalt Blue Soloist for my Trek 700 and still could not get a boil. But the stove performed great on my GSI Kettle because of the larger diameter. The Cobalt was geared toward pots like the Trek 700. I think I am just going to stick to the kettle even with the weight penalty.

I have this cup, but I use the double-walled version. Single walls singes your lips. It's good for coffee/tea maybe oatmeal, but def not for cooking a proper meal.

I would not recommend putting a double wall cup over a direct flame...

I have this Snowpeak single wall .7l cup (from the starter kit), which I use mainly for coffee, but I could boil if I wanted to.

I also use an REI TiWare 1.3l pot for my boiling/cooking. 95% of my hot meals on the trail are Freezer Bag Cooking.

Anything smaller than 700ml is just too small to be useful and a waste of weight. If you just want a zero-weight drinking cup, just cut a water bottle down to whatever size you like. Free and fun.
The backcountry 700 is really excellent, light and has a great ti lid. Worth saving up for.
If you want to cook a real meal (anything more than boiling water) think more like a .9L or 1.3L pot. For a few bucks and an ounce or two more you get a LOT more options.
Watch MacSac/Steep&Cheap/Department of Goods for sales on the BC 700 mug. Or watch the used gear forums, people will sell theirs used around $20-25.

Actually, I am looking at getting this spoon, mainly because I do freezer bag cooking:

It weighs .6 oz and is indestructible. Perfect for reaching into the bottom of those freezer bags.... :)
I have the double wall version. 10 ounce capacity. I like having my coffee in it. The double wall keeps coffee hot even in the winter.

Is that spoon the aircraft alloy version or the titanium?
I have the alloy one, wish I got the titanium one, worth the few extra bucks.

I have the exact same spoon and I love it. I do the freezer bag thing and it works like a charm. Long enough to eat without getting messy knuckles and fingers. Mine has a micro biner attached. I wonder why your picture doesn't :-?
