Inspired by my interest in the Primus ETA Packlite I tried the Jetboil with my Caldera Cone.
With 1 oz of fuel just misses bringing 1L of water to boil, but it does boil 500ml in 8-9 min (fiddling a bit with the pot to stove distance), it burns for about 14 min. (a few tests around 18c/64f)
The surprising part, to me, was that 20 minutes after the boil had stopped most of the pot was still too hot to keep my finger on it and without any cover ( cozy).
At 205 g (7.23 oz), including those silicone rings, it is rather heavy for a 1 L pot but if you happen to own a Caldera Cone for the 500/550/600 ml (?) pot (mine is the 550ml from Ti Goat) and a JetBoil it may be worth looking into it. Note that I was using the lid from the 550 pot.

Caldera Cone and JetBoil
To add to the first comments, the JetBoil pot is not very efficient used with the CC as I can boil 500ml faster with the original Ti pot and you could also boil 1 L with a CC original set up.
I did that simply because I already had the two.
