(Or Lixada 750 ml stainless steel mug with bail and butterfly handles and nesting Nalgene type bottle)
Esbit stove used from the German army (or British army folding stove, especially if you choose a British army bottle with BCB stainless steel Crusader mug.)

The equipment here would also work well for traveling in most areas in Europe and can easily get specialised for the rare exceptions where it doesn't work optimal.
That means it's a good starter kit.
