I bought the Stash last week and took it camping for the first time this weekend. This thing is extremely light, the burner stack is solid, doesn't feel flimsy at all. Burned consistently even with Nebraska's constant winds. It did everything is said it would, but with the reduced weight comes reduced features. I normally use a Jetboil MicroMo for my one person cook system. I almost exclusively use these for dehydrated food and coffee/tee. The missing koozie with attached handle required me to wait until my coffee was warmish to drink from the Stash, and of course it cooled faster than the MicroMo. The missing push starter is a bit of an inconvenience. The French press kit for the MicroMo is also nice rather than cowboy coffee. Basically, I think to use the Stash as I normally would, I would need to bring a seperate coffee cup and probably a pour over filter, which ruins the weight savings. In summary - it does everything it is said to do. If you want boiling water only, this is your best choice. If you want to expand even a bit outside that, you should go for another JetBoil stove. For all the ounce counters, beware that you will probably add weight with lighter and any basic gadgets for good coffee.
