Can anyone tell me if the 550 and/or the 650 pot has measurements on the side?

Neither of my 550 Toaks do (I have it with and without handles). They are the lighter variant, I don’t know about the heavier one.

The new version of the 550 has them, I just picked it up last month. It’s 5 bucks off on the toaks website currently.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Based on the comments, it sounds like the new “Light” versions do not have measurements. Appreciate the help.

Scott: on the 550 the “LIGHT” version is actually older, the heavier version with marks is newer.

I had some time and looked at all versions under 1L to compare, here’s what I found:
```
550 LIGHT            - No
550 LIGHT w/o Handle - No
550 New (heavier)    - Yes
600                  - Yes
650 LIGHT            - No
700 LIGHT            - No
750                  - Yes
750 w/o Handle       - No
750 w/Bail + Handle  - No
850                  - Yes
900 (115mm)          - No
900 (130mm)          - No
1L                   - No
```
So only 4 models under 1L have volume markings. Comparing their specs:
```
Vol - Weight - Weight (w/Lid) - Price (TOAKS)
550 - 80g    - 100g           - $25
600 - ?      - 109g           - $28.50
750 - 94g    - 110g           - $35
850 - 84g    - 102g           - $39
```
It was surprising to me that the 850 weighs practically the same as the 550, and is lighter than both the 750 and 600, and has the better (insulated) handle design (IMO). Of course these are claimed weights, and someone would have to confirm.

Hopefully this will help others.

Edit: Trail Designs seems to confirm the 850 weigh (85g pot, 16g lid) https://www.traildesigns.com/cookware/toaks-850-ml-titanium-pot
