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.

Re: Small brew kit
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

Re: Small brew kit
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

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
Re: Small brew kit
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.
