The Optimus Crux high performing foldable stove is extremely lightweight and compact.
The large burner means it boils water even faster and more efficiently than the industry's darling: MSR PocketRocket. The wide arms on the burner mean that pans are nice and stable and the controls allow for really easy simmering temperatures. You really couldn't ask for more.
While it doesn't fold up as neatly as some other stoves, fewer moving parts means that there's less to go wrong. It's still incredibly easy to transport, stores in the base of gas canister, and is supplied with a carry bag to stop it scratching pans if you stash it in there.
