There was an old timer on the AT (geritol on the pct : ),  that used an
alcohol stove.  He stored his fuel in a plastic bottle (not sure of the size)
that had a flip and sip top.  He'd use one squirt for for a cup of coffee, tea
or coco and two squirts for dinner. This seemed to work well for him.  

This was Model T's, third thru-hike, ooooga!
