Hot Water Heater One Cup Tip for Travelers

One cup heater for backpackers.

This is a heater in a Tupperware container. About 5 minutes and this water is hot enough to boil water or wash clothes.

The ones that are best are the coiled wire type. This one is home made I am using the heating element out of the slow water heat for showers that exist in Central and South America. They sell them in most places in the world.
