Crazy, isn't it. I paid I think like half of the current 1.7 litre price just a few years ago before COVID...
They also seem to be mostly out of stock – MSR did a voluntary recall of the Reactor handles last year, and they are probably still tooling up for new ones. Apparently they had a few reports of the handles falling off when pouring a brew, so did that as a precaution (US company, sue‑happy North Americans, et cetera). But hey, they sent me a grabby standalone handle instead
