If you want cheap and to only boil water.... Make your own meths burner out of a Coke can, or any can (loads of vids on youtube) Make a pot stand out of a wire clothes hanger. Buy a small saucepan from the poundshop. Get a 500ml bottle of meths from wherever.
Jobs a good un.

I'm not a great fan of instant coffee, prefer the real stuff and with the cafetière mugs (mine is branded Zyliss) it's dead easy

Thats a nice setup, i like it..... probably too pricy for the OP if he want cheap tho. Must be about 40 to 50 quids worth there.

Prior to your trip, start gathering up the wee sachets of milk that you get in McDonalds and put them in your brew kit-very handy (thumbs)

Just buy a little gas burner with ignition, a canister of coleman gas and a little stove top espresso maker(2 cup version)

Pick yer own blend and have a decent blend in a few minutes every morning. total price, around £25

A zebra billy can will cost around £10 for a 10cm pot
I have both a 12cm & 14cm with a tatonka meths burner & stand in one, and a clikstand with a generic brass meths burner in the other. The 14cm pot has a folding stainless steamer in the bottom, with a melamine coffee mug where the burner is stored, along with several small items Inc a foam scrubbing pad, cotton wool, tea bags, & stock cubes.
The dish in the top holds the burner stand, pot grip, matches, spoon/fork, salt/pepper tubs and Thai soup spoons.
My 12cm pot holds most of the above but not the steamer

Buy a Tragnia for £20 off of ebay second hand..use it a few times then sell it on here..it will sell as they always do.

That is bar far the best and cheapest way of doing what you want.
