At any Publix in Miami, which literally has the grocery monopoly here, they've got some REALLY cheap and super-light aluminum pots (with plastic basket) from Colombia for about $12. Our first one lasted 8 years. We use them on bp trips to boil water, in fact, in the past few years, for weight savings, we've gone with instant coffee and left the basket at home -- but still bring that Colombian aluminum pot since it's the fastest, lightest way to boil water.
