I’ve had this stove out now for a dozen or so days and am really loving it. I’ve gone from old 90’s white gas stoves to an original pocket rocket to a BRS and now the Amicus. While the BRS is incredibly small, light and inexpensive, it’s not confidence inducing and absolutely terrible in windy situation.
After all those stoves, the Amicus feels and operates like a Swiss watch. The seal on the canister is precise, the armature locks into place, the valve opens smoothly and the piezo lights reliably. I still keep a back up mini bic in my backpack, but it’s now relegated to my repair/emergency kit. And it’s wind performance really is pretty amazing. It boiled 2 cups of water in my toaks titanium pot in near freezing temps next to a windy lake no problem.
The only improvement I would make is to the accuracy of the fuel valve. There’s about a half twist before any fuel flows and I always seem to underestimate having it open enough to light it on the first try. Then I open it a little more and it fires up. I’ll get used to it and it certainly has a nice range after this for simmering or fast boiling.
The other consideration is its size, landing squarely between the old and new pocket rockets. And the BRS, of course wins in this category. When carrying the BRS, I can fit a 4oz canister, the stove and a lighter all in a 700ml wide toaks. With the Amicus, the canister has to live outside of the pot. Again, this isn’t really bad vs good. Just have to adjust accordingly.

I used the SOTO Amicus on the JMT last summer. Overall I was really happy with it. Build quality was excellent and, although I was mainly just boiling water, I appreciate that I could get the flame down to simmer level if I needed to. My only complaint was with the peizo ignition. It failed to spark 15 % of the time, just enough to be annoying. With that said, I still plan on using it for future solo adventures.

Great little stove. Super light and ignitor works well. I picked up a snap on stand/feet for it was well. Great for bikepacking!

I'm a moderately experienced backpacker, somewhat ultralight. I've used Whisperlite, MSR Reactor, a few others. Since I've purchased, I've used the Amicus on solo trips in windy Colorado and sandy Joshua Tree NP. It's really a great stove. Light. Small. Convenient. Sturdy. The ignitor model is definitely worth the extra 1/2 oz for me (stupid easy so others in my party, even kids, can use it). Can simmer pretty well (I use it to cook, not just boil water).

Super light and super dependable
Really a great stove that handles well in wind. Only one that handles better is it’s big brother the wind master.
