MSR Titan Kettle 900 mL

Whether you’re brewing morning coffee or heating water for a freeze-dried meal, the MSR Titan Kettle 900 mL is a lightweight whistle kettle that lets you know when it’s reached a boil, so you can get back to enjoying the trail.

Built from titanium, this kettle weighs in at just 130 grams, making it one of the lightest options for backcountry cooking. Its 900 mL capacity is enough for a couple of servings, and its compact profile tucks neatly into most cook sets. The integrated spout with a built-in whistle gives you a clear heads-up when your water’s ready, keeping you from hovering over the flames.

Titanium is prized in backpacking gear because it combines high strength with low density—standing up to dents and corrosion without adding bulk to your pack. While it doesn’t conduct heat quite as quickly as aluminum, its durability and weight savings make it a popular choice for anyone logging serious miles.
