Any recommendations for a compact single cup travel kettle?

I call ahead and many hotels will have a kettle they will drop off in the room which is great but not all do this. I use a Jettle kettle and it’s ok. I can pack my grinder inside it. For pouring you need to use a Melo drip but it’s still a pretty messy pour. I don’t want a full on gooseneck, but is there something really compact that pours a little better? I’ve seen collapsable ones but those seem like mold incubators. I’d love something like a jettle kettle with a small spout adapter.

    I’ve heard stories of people boiling weird things like underwear in hotel kettles so I don’t trust them anymore because I’m paranoid…

    That said I use https://a.co/d/3SzUQ4Z

    It’s slightly larger and doesn’t have temp control but boils a decent amount of water and supports both 120/240v so I just stuff it full of things when I pack it.

      I know people piss in them thats for sure, and at the very least water is allowed to stand in them far longer than I would allow with my own kettle, I cannot stand stale tasting water residue.

      Well there’s a story I would have been better off not hearing, but at least they are boiled I guess! That’s really not good for your undies BTW. I usually run a batch of tap water through the kettle and then wipe it down to descale it a bit. I don’t care about temp controls too much. Most of these kettles start dropping temp pretty quickly and you lose 7F with the mellow drip so I just go about 30s off boil. I also like light roasts so this higher temp works out.
