Can't vouch for any of the accessories, but the stove itself is a generic model that is sold under countless brand names on eBay and Amazon. I have one and it's a) remarkably tiny and b) very reliable. Even the piezo electric ignition works well.

If you don't care about the accessories, the stove normally sells for around $10 or $12. Here's one currently selling for $8 [amazon.com]

If you like the idea of a small cookset with the stove but don't need utensils, bowls, etc, you can avoid the Woot app rigmarole by getting this for $16 [amazon.com].

Limitations of this stove:

Its tiny size is impressive, but really works against it for cooking vessels any bigger than about 1 quart. It becomes very unstable with those tiny support arms.
You can control the heat output, but it doesn't really simmer well, especially with thin-walled cooksets that are appropriate for a stove of this size/weight. Don't expect to saute/fry well unless you're very attentive. Best for heating water to reconstitute dehydrated foods, hot beverages, boil in bag meals, etc.

I was going to post the same thing. I got *almost* the same kit from eBay for $12 in 2020. But it looks like inflation has hit these little camping kits too. Looks like they're averaging $15 - $20 now.

And I agree, the stove is good, as long there is no or very little wind. It stays lit, it just doesnt heat up your coffee as quick as it normally does. You'll want to put it behind something to block the wind, or settle for warm coffee.

This is all true. I think I'll get this because I just found that the piezo ignition on my previous one no longer works.

I'd been holding out for a pot with a heat exchanger (fins on the bottom of the pot that absorb heat radiated from the sides of the stove) but for the price this is great just for the stove and all the accessories.

I know exactly what you mean about the heat exchanger. When I got my stove, I also purchased this [amazon.com] back when it was selling for $24.29. Obviously it's not nearly so hot a deal now.

However, poking around Amazon, I found this [amazon.com], which offers the same 1 liter capacity and except for the coloring looks like a dead ringer for the Olicamp I got, and an even better deal at $22.46. Assuming it also functions the same, it really makes these cheap isobutane stoves incredibly efficient.

There may be even better deals out there, but that's what I found with just a bit of searching.

All stuff on Ali express. I've been searching for a small kit and found all of this for various prices on Temu Amazon and Ali express. Not sure if it's a super great deal or not.

$19.79 on AliEx w/ stove. $11.98 w/o stove (red handles pot). Don't use Temu, but I'm sure it's there too.
