BOT XL

The XL is a great idea... on paper. In real life, I can't fit a Solo Stove Lite in it. I can't fit my MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe (with a 230g canister). And it's way too big/heavy for cold soaking. This pot is for very specific use and not very versatile for the price.

I was looking for a camping pot with a screw on lid. To my surprise I discovered it essentially dosn’t exist. Neither in camping nor just in regular pots. Maybe this is because of liability reasons since if you use it with the lid on it becomes a dangerous pressure cooker that can explode with high heat. Nalgene made a stainless steel one and discontinued it. Eventually I discovered this product. I thought wow titanium that’s cool. I wanted a 2 liter pot. But Vargo seems 3 sizes. Like 700ml, 1 liter and the XL (which is this one) that I’d 1.1 liters. I honestly didn’t know what that volume looked like in real life I just knew it was smaller than I was looking for and it was the biggest one these guys make. Like the title says it’s a well made product but it’s way way smaller than I anticipated. It’s like a slightly larger coffee cup.

I love it, and now I can make my coffee with it.

I have the Bot HD with batwing handles. Recently acquired the Bot XL.
The XL is, hands down, the better of the two, IMO. Slightly larger capacity, larger diameter and shorter. The bottom corner is round instead of being an acute right angle like the HD. Easier to mix and stir foods. Retains the batwing handles for holding options. Shorter and wider stature makes it more stable when on your heat source. Retains the oring sealed lid for retention of liquids. Being shorter and wider makes it easier to eat out of and to clean.
It's the bomb!

BOT XL

I´m sorry, for 100,00 € or $ for a thin pot with screwable lid everything has to be perfect about this product and even if it would be 100 bucks is way too expensive.

But it isn´t perfect, because the lid has a lid fold. Why the hack is it folded? As the man in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS28WXMaNVQ ,

is stating, the lid cleat is folded and by that the fold will collect dirt from foods or beverages and it will become a harbour for mikroorganisms and zoogloeal film, because it´s difficult to clean.
If I am on a longer trip and I want to transport some juice or food, it will become contaminated by this biofilm (zoogloeal film).

A price of 50,00 € would still be high priced, not only for my taste, but that are also the words of this guy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA_ALVRqDl0&t=348s .

60,00 €, because of the economical situation in the western world, would also be okay for this time period, but not 100,00 € or more!!!!

So my rating would be:
5 Stars minus 1 Star (because of the failed lid fold) minus 2 Stars (because of the price) makes = 2 Stars.

The Bot XL is amazing, screw top lid is liquid tight so I can store extra water or overnight soak outs or keep the morning brew all day long. This bot-pot is the perfect match for the Triad stove. A full 900 ml of water boils in 9 minutes with a wind screen in place. Thanks folks at Vargo, super happy with this set-up so simple and no canisters!

Great size. Screw top. Transmits heat quickly. Titanium is awesome stuff.

Love it perfect diameter.
Just what I was looking for

The diameter is perfect. Been looking for a cup this size. Plus I got a bottle aka bot lol
