Making a list of must have stuff, that includes a water heater, how do you heat yours, OK, a budget of $300, extra points for cheaper, probably be used more for making coffee! Make, model, fuel used, why you use it.

More for just making Coffee? For how many people?
Just one or two people? Coleman Peak1 or Classic Primus Trail Stove on a butane dome with a Stanley Adventure cookset stainless cup of water. Which I use also for my Mountain House meals. But for coffee, add a pour-over. I have a Stanley camp pour over and a Stanley 16oz Travel Mug w/ French press.
Coffee for more than two? Coleman two burner classic propane stove and a percolator from GSI. Mine is dark green speckled enameled finish but they come in blue and maybe red, too. Or pull the the mechanism out of it and use it just as a pot to heat up water for...yep...the pour over or French press.
Stanley and Yeti both make camp pour overs and French presses, either single serve or in a larger pot. I have several Yeti travel mugs for coffee or ice water, and several Stanley "thermos" bottles to keep hot coffee or food jars to keep cooked meals or soup hot. Here's one I have

Either system you decide to cobble together it will be under $300, especially if you realize that "Sierra" stores are to REI what Marshals and TJ Max are to Macy's. You never know what you will find. You cant say, " im gonna get a light blue Yeti 18 oz travel mug with white chug top" because they may not have exactly that. But you go in frequently and grab the deals of the day, and if not too choose on colors, you can have real manufacturer stuff for half price or less, sometimes for blemishes, sometimes for no other reason than it is last years model.
Hope that helps

Absolutely, thanks, that's good info! I think I already have a Stanley X. And whatabout those shower units?
bought this one years back and works pretty good. also bought a similar unit of the "Gasland" brand and it is also pretty good. uses 2 "D" batteries to ignite the burner and I use a small 12vdc pump to supply it from a Jerry can. if you cut back on the flow, it will get hot enough to scald, so it is a serious water heater. does very well on fuel and I've gotten weeks on a 5 pound propane tank

I second the Gasland heater! Love it.
A cool idea is to wire it into your 12v system and forget those batteries! All you need is a buck converter to lower the 12v down to 3v! I have an internal water system with a pump and having instant hot water is awesome. Never thought about it for coffee water as I have a small boiler!!
