Fazit

For ultralight backpacking: MSR PocketRocket 2. For fast boiling and convenience: Jetboil Flash.

These stoves serve different philosophies. The MSR PocketRocket 2 weighs almost nothing and works with any pot you own. It is the choice for gram-counting ultralight hikers. The Jetboil Flash is a self-contained system that boils water in two minutes flat, even in wind. For hikers who primarily boil water for freeze-dried meals and coffee, the Jetboil’s speed and efficiency are hard to beat. For anyone who wants to actually cook on the trail, the MSR’s compatibility with real pots makes it more versatile.
