small and light, not mega expensive, what is there and what fuel do you use or should i stick with my flask?
Half-decent flask does me (still mourning the loss of my favourite most heat-retaining flask ever).
Minimalism is where it's at. 🙂
msr pocket rocket.
Theres pocket rocket clones about for around half the price, or if you like spending money theres the optimus crux. On a day ride i'll generally use a small flask or drink water.
Don't have one but look good:

[url= http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/news.php?id=2514 ]Primus Spider Express[/url] - amazing stove. Had one for a year now and it's super fast, very economical on gas too so you only need small cartridge.
I got mine for about £35. Bargain performance for that price

They are remarkably good, bit of a techique to getting them going but thereafter very quick to boil. Bit bulky for a bike I would have thought compared to the MSR and a metal cup.
Jetboil
I have one of these, very small 🙂

+1 for the jetboil
Pocket Rocket + any reasonable size ti mug + C100 100g gas canister.
All fits in the mug, just add water.
I can get my brew on in less than five minutes.
Tastes good and if I take some noodles I get hot food instead of a squashed sandwich.
I also have a Jetboil, really good bit of kit, boils water [i]so[/i] fast, but a bit big for the 'small and light' requirement?
under 300gms for the Kovea and a C100 cartridge 8)
Psychle.
Have you used the stove much? Does it seem made to last?
Trying a bit hard if you take a stove for a day ride. Technology has brought us containers that retain heat rather than having to carry fire with us.
true, put fire is fun:-)
btw tried the new D'wich canal towpath the other day, gonna be a good little divert off the busy road when it's finished

Had mine for a few years now, still works fine, though the piezo thing is buggered 🙁 just use a match now 🙂
what about making a coke can stove?
msr pocket rocket.
all the old boys from the R.S.F use em to make a brew when out.
tea tastes better when brewed up outdoors.
too much hassle for me, i prefer a small thermos.

But get a smaller gas cartridge from a hardware shop for about £1.30....
