First, I love this product. It has replaced both my cook system and my water bottle because the nature of it allows it to be used as both. However, like others have commented, if Vargo could increase the height of the lid by just an inch, and attach a fold out handle to the rim, it would turn the lid into a small bowl/skillet allowing for much greater utility. I could make my noodles in the bot while also fying up some eggs and sausage to pour into it.

I suppose technically if you had a pot lifter you could already do this, but its not deep enough to be able to really cook anything in it. The lid already exists so I feel making a small adjustment like this to it would add a world of utility.

Plus because Vargo also sells a bowl to nest it into, we could have a pot, a frying pan, and a coffee cup all in one self contained unit making it the perfect cook system to take out onto the trail for a single person.

Please make it happen Vargo!

I never leave this home. Every time I camp or backpack I use this as a backup container for food or drink. So lightweight and items can be placed in it not to be crushed in the backpack. I bought this several years ago. I looked it up to show my friend. I was surprised the price has not gone up. It was originally a splurge for me, but so glad I made it.

Have used this in an open fire, on a stove and once where I forgot my jet boil pot. Does an amazing job, so light. Perfect for light and fast adventures and well as car camping!

Used it to cold soak but not much else yet. Seems to work as described and expect it to last for years
Didn't get the one with the handle... if i was to do it again I'd get the one with the handle..... maybe???
Typical Vargo quality!

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. Haven't had the chance to use it a lot yet, but he is very happy with the bot. No leaks and very versatile.

Great product, couldn't be happier. Bought the 700ml for solo trips and this 1L Bot for duo bikepacking and backpacking trips. Both Bots also easily slide into Revelate Designs Joey downtube bag for a perfect storing solution.

This isn't the best pot. If you're only cold-soaking and not reheating when you get to camp, I guess this works. However, be very careful when/if you go to reheat your cold soaked or other meal. It will burn inner perimeter of the pot almost instantly.
Also note, I burned the inner of my pot on low heat when I was reheating oatmeal. You have to stir continuously, and by continuously I mean do not stop. If you stop, the edges will burn.
Maybe I have a lemon? Maybe not? IDK, but possible a non stick or tougher coating on the inside.
For the price, not sure I'm happy, however, I do understand the cost to manufacture titanium is high.

This thing must come with an inflatable sherpa. $100 for a metal water bottle. Damn. Too bad Telante Jars don't come in 1 liter. You could pick 1 up for $10 and get free icecream. I like and use Vargo products but this is ridiculously expensive.

I have had this BOT for about 6 years and WAS found of it until about a month ago. I had filtered some water and was going to store it in the BOT for tea the next morning. My friend got up earlier than I did and ask if I wanted hot water for tea. I replied that I already had some water in the BOT and to use that to heat up. He told me he couldn't open it up.
I came out of my tent and tried to open it up. No way! it was Welded shut. We tried having one of us hold the bottom and the other tried to turn the top. No luck, We finally gave up. We both are about to turn 70 years old so we aren't as strong as we used to be. Later three trail runners came by the trail and I asked for some help. Two of them were in great shape so I figured that they could get the lid off. Nope! I ended up packing that heavy (full of water) useless thing around for the remainder of the trip. Once home I was able to use a vise and oil filter wrench to get the top off. There was no great altitude or pressure change on that trip. It is a good thing that my friend had a 2 liter pot so we could heat water and cook. My BOT was out of commission. I no longer have faith that I can tighten it up enough to seal the contents inside and still be able to open it in the back country. Just be warned that I had used this product for years without an issue but once it stuck it was not only useless but extra weight that I had to carry around!

Great Product. Will be buying from this company again.

Stop carrying (and paying for) a water bottle AND cooking pot--the Titanium BOT is made to replace both! Half water bottle, half cooking pot, it performs both functions exceptionally well while weighing less than most standard water bottles. It converts easily from a water bottle to a cooking pot with a simple flip of the lid yet its watertight, temperature resistant O-ring won’t melt when exposed to heat. Graduated measurements in 100 ml increments makes measuring food and liquid a snap.  The BOT fits in most standard water bottle pockets. What it doesn’t fit into is the convention that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Just another Vargo original idea.

Features:

  • Made of the highest quality of titanium available free of linings or coatings
  • Screw-top lid with a watertight, heat-resistant O-ring that doubles as a cooking pot lid
  • Wide mouth design to make cooking, cleaning, and using a lot easier. It can fit your entire hand inside it while still fitting in most water bottle pockets!
  • 1.0 liter capacity to make measuring, cooking meals, and sterilizing water more convenient
  • Graduate measurements in 100 ml increments from 300-900 ml.
  • Both pieces work well with pot lifters

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

From Brian Vargo - On a backpacking trip around 2011, I noticed that the size and shape of my cooking mug and water bottle were basically the same.  I thought that if I could combine the two products into one, that it would be one less piece of equipment that would be needed to backpack.  There were several things that needed to be considered. 

First, the product had to be straight sided (unlike all water bottles) the top had to be designed so that you could insert your hand inside in order to clean the pot when being used to cook in.  Second, I had to design a lid that would work as both a water-tight lid and also convert as a cooking lid.  Third, although the size needed to be large enough to insert your hand, it also had to be small enough that it would fit into most water bottle pockets of a backpack. 

With all these features in mind, the BOT (a combination of the word Bottle and Pot) was born.  Although a simple design, it was unique and frankly took many years for customers to understand the beauty and versatility of the design.  It was not until about 4 years after introduction that the BOT began to gain in popularity and understanding.

Yes, the Titanium BOT is designed with ultralight titanium construction, ensuring durability while minimizing weight. Despite its lightweight nature, it is specifically crafted to handle the dual functions of a water bottle and a cooking pot, making it suitable for outdoor activities where durability is crucial.

The Titanium BOT features a lid that serves a dual purpose: as a water bottle lid and a cooking lid. The lid can be flipped easily to convert the container from a water bottle to a cooking pot. Additionally, the lid is equipped with a watertight and heat-resistant O-ring, ensuring that it effectively seals in liquids when used as a water bottle, preventing leaks and spills.
