I have an Alpkit Kraku stove:

But no pots to put on it. What would people recommend for lightweight walking/bikepacking trips?
but not sure the heat exchanger bit would fit around the stove.
Knowing this place, Le Creuset....

(sorry).....
Zebra stainless steel billy can or any of the Zebra brand stainless steel stuff.

I switched to Primus Eta pan a while back (it's big enough so that my stove and fuel fits inside). Really, really recommend it. The heat exchanger really does seem to make a difference.
It's quickened my boil times and I find it easier to use in inclement weather...like in last weekends mega cold and windy camp...

Why buy a £250 bike when you can have one costing £3,000
Also Le Creuset fail the lightweight test, you need something in a high tech metal just like your special brake levers 😉

Great pots, will last a lifetime, not in anyway lightweight though!
The Alpkit MutiMug/MytiPot/MytiStax options depending on what you want to cook are great value and lightweight.
^^^ Yep agree the Alpkit titanium pots are pretty good - lot of bikepackers using them.
Also have a look at ultralightourdoorgear.co.uk [url= http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/equipment-c3/kitchen-stuff-c8/pots-and-pans-c9 ]linky[/url]
If the titanium stuff is too pricey, all the good camping stores/websites have nice alu pots that may not be as light, but are certainly tougher, and a lot less expensive.
Get a decent windshield while you are shopping. It will cut your boil time dramatically.
the browndog - wow that is a lot of choice!
At this point I would rather get something reasonably priced until I find out what I want exactly. So I guess I may be best going the Alpkit route.
Given that I want enough to make a dinner and a breakfast along with a cup of tea what combo would people recommend. I suppose I would like the capacity to do this for two though I recognise there is a weight space penalty that comes with that.

If I am going lightwieght then a MytiMug will do me just for boiling water for instant porridge for breakfast and dehydrated/freeze dried meals for dinner, and of course boiling water for tea.
I use http://www.outdoorsgrub.co.uk for ordering dehydrated meals.
If you are wanting to use a wider pot for more cooking options, then I am not so sure the Kraku stove is best for this purpose. Those types of stoves are generally made for boiling water fast and flames are concentrated for narrow/tall type pots. Flame adjustabilty tends not to be great either for varying the temperature for traditional cooking.
For cooking meals (not dehydrated stuff) for two then I would look at a remote canister type stove and a more traditional aluminum camping cookset.
