For short trips and if I'm traveling solo, then my immersion heater is usually stashed somewhere in my bag along with cup or travel mug. For longer trips, if I'm traveling with a buddy or if having hot water is essential to my day then I bring a small dual-voltage travel kettle such as the Kenwood dual-voltage kettle, the
Austin House dual-voltage kettle or even my Sanyo dual-voltage cooker. Overall my favourites in terms of ease of use are my small travel kettles mentioned above. The Sanyo cooker is nice when you need to cook something as well and don't want any leftover flavours making their way into your tea.
I love the Sanyo travel cooker (

From what I can tell, it has been discontinued. There are a host of lookalikes from no-name companies and I got one of them but it is not the same. Not well made, pot warped, etc.
