You are right the emergency cook kit is tiny. I've used it once so far last winter, when considering my options. Thankfully I managed to get down though lots of hours after I originally planned and a storm blowing. Sitting there drinking a hot drink helped me and could have had a few if I had sat it out all night.
The titanium cup is about 80g
Esbit folding stove 12g
Couple of esbit solid fuel tablets 14g each.
Bit of foil for wind shield a few grams
Lighter and some hot chocolate sachets. It all fits in a 400ml cup.
Not everyone will agree but it works for me.
