So, probably not adding a lot new here..but after 2 pages of talking about JetBoil, not sure anybody can. I agree with everything stated, JetBoil (or similar setups) are really one trick ponies. Depending on what you need to do, they're just easy for the one thing they do. If I just want to make a cup of coffee or tea, it's much quicker to just fire up a JetBoil (or similar) rather than getting out my stove, pot/kettle, etc. As far as actual benefit, if you don't care about the extra setup/cleanup, I don't see a lot of use in the *overlanding* world (as most overlanders are carrying some type of stove). If that ease of use is worth the money/storage of the device, then it is (to each their own, I have both since many of my breakfasts don't require any cooking...I can just fire up the JetBoil for coffee and it's done).
