If its just a kettle your after then i reccomend the below from ebay;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2L-Port...557308?hash=item1a0efc2cfc:g:PREAAOSwuAVW1BxX

Its 1.2L which i find better than the smaller ones since it gives you the option of 2 good size brews with a bit of water left for cleaning the mugs or it can be used for 1 brew and a boil in the bag. The large opening helps with getting things in & out, as well as cleaning. Here is it in use just before winter on a fire;

If your after something a bit more compact then a recommend a bottle with metal mug. I always take the same set-up and i can use it to make a brew, heat a bag etc.. Obviously you can't boil much water but it works well for a quick day or weekend out. I find the US kit is a very nice set-up with a bit of extras, it makes a very compact kit, pic of it below;

You can pick up a french canteen set for about £10 from ebay also, its all aluminium so you can boil more water in the bottle as well as in the mug itself;

Loads of other options out there too,

I've got both the French canteen and a trangia kettle clone almost identical to the one the Bushcraft Store sells for 4 quid - on top of a stove the kettle (with a plastic mug) wins hands down, faster to boil by a country mile (and you're less likely to burn your lips on a plastic mug). It's a pig to clean if you use it on an open fire though, the French canteen mug is a little easier. Obviously, don't let either boil dry.
