I have been using esbit for ages. I have a ti cup--just over an ounce, and the little ti tripod stand--about half an ounce. I use a scrap of foil for a lid and small foil windscreen with a foil tail for a rock to hold it down. For a setup this small i can often get by with half an esbit tab--i stick my knife through the plastic and give a twist and it usually breaks cleanly. I like that the bottom blackens up because things heat up faster. For packing everything fits in the cup and it all goes in a plastic produce bag with the bottom carefully put where the black mess was. I have found it takes warm water to remove the black so I wait until I am home to scrub the bottom of the cup.
