Jetboil and equivilents
Discussion
The Mrs is after something compact to produce hot water rather than lugging a separate stove and kettle when hiking.
Jetboil is the obvious answer, and I think the Zip should suit her needs, but the Primus ETA light and MSR Wind Boiler look to be similar. Any others I should be looking at or issues people have had with any of these?

Looks like the Brukit is a bit bigger at 1000-1200ml to the Zip's 800ml, which might be a bit too big to use as a mug as well? Impressive kit for the money though.
Considering they're available for preorder there's a lot of reviews suggesting they've been on sale for a while, is this an updated version?

She says she's only really after it for heating water quickly and with minimal fuss. She supervises DofE trips, and the staff usually eat in a pub in the evening so it's only water for tea/coffee/porridge.
Much as I love my MSR Whisperlite it's a bit of a faff compared to these gas ones, but I mainly got it as I can siphon petrol from my bike rather than need to take a spare gas canister if I'm away for a few weeks, so a bit of manmaths suggests get her a better one and we can both use it on shorter trips.
