Jetboil pros: it's probably the quickest way of boiling water.
Jetboil drawbacks: whatever you eat or drink needs to be based on boiling water. So that's coffee, tea, rehydrated stuff like noodles or boil in the bag. You can't really cook real meals on it.
You can't 'gently simmer', it has two settings: off and 'rocket flame'. Look at the Pocket Rocket etc if you want more versatility.There's different capacities - the 0.8 is probably fine if it's just you, or the 1.0 litre if there's 2 of you.

I am going for a 2 week solo bikepacking trip, and I was thinking of buying a jetboil to sort out my cooking equipment, I mostly eat rice/porridge/soups anyway when camping on cycling trips..
Any drawbacks to using a jetboil?
