Has anyone used one of these? The good, the bad, the ugly?

Do you have a link?

There's a bunch out there, but I posted a link to one above

I used one last summer to heat water in the morning for coffee and oatmeal. There were two of us and it worked great. Since I was the only coffee drinker in the group, it did not make sense to pack the old reliable percolator. It would not be so good for a larger group.

Not too long ago I owned a set of the silicone collapsible cups, bowls, and plates. It wasn't a cheap "test". I ended up selling them. I found that you spent too much time cleaning them, trying to get into the crevices. They warmer they got, the easier they collapsed when you didn't want them to. But the deciding factor was two of them cracked at the folds after only a handful of uses. I don't think that no matter how much I mis-treated my aluminum or titanium tea kettles or pots that I could get them to leak. Also in the event of a stove failure, the aluminum and titanium can be used over a fire. Just my $.02. If you need the space savings these would be your best bet.

My vote is a no. An aluminum pot does not weight much. You can fill the inside with stuff so you are not waisting space. I’ve had collapsible cookware before from Snow Peak. It’s just ok, I’ll stick with titanium or aluminum.

My apologies for not posting the link correctly.

Based on the two reviews, I think I'll skip them. Was hoping that it would save some space, but I don't think it's worth it.

Looks interesting, but I didn't use it.

Everything about this review is spot on. I have encountered the same exact things with collapsible silicone stuff. For me the biggest is that I couldn't use them over a fire if needed.

Agree 100%.
