But you can still buy them.
Even for the car!
You can ask the cafe attendant for hot water, or just bring something like this (I think mine was under $10 at the local hardware store)
Sounds like you could use a [collapsable kettle] (https://www.amazon.com/Useful-UH-TP147-Electric-Collapsible-Travel/dp/B00ZJHXNIU).
Or even better, you could use an [immersion heater] (https://www.amazon.com/Lewis-N-Clark-Portable-Immersion/dp/B001U0PB1C/ref=pd_lpo_60_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=HQQTG0FG7821QSZJFXMB).
Immersion heaters work with any size container you want.
This is difficult to answer because everyone tours differently. It's entirely possible to travel anywhere in the US, Canada or Mexico and not spend a single penny on lodging. You have to be very flexible with how far you are willing to travel in one day and where you are comfortable sleeping though. Sometimes I can find a free place to camp within a couple miles of looking. Other times I've had to ride 20 miles.
If you like staying in motels plan on that costing about $30-$60 per night on average anywhere in the US/Canada. In Mexico they run $10-$20 on average.
Campgrounds in Canada are expensive--usually $15-$20 a night on average. Along the West coast in the US they have hike/bike CG's that charge about $5. There are no campgrounds in Mexico except a couple on Baja. It's not hard to find free places to camp here but I prefer motels.
Food costs can also change a lot depending on how you tour. If you bring your own stove, cooking stuff and food you'll spend a lot less. If you stop and eat meals in restaurants that'll add up. You will eat a lot of junk food. On any given day I burn 5000-6000 calories so I have to keep eating. I probably spend $10-$15 on just between meal food per day. In Mexico all food is cheaper, especially at roadside stands. You have to buy bottled water down here so that adds some extra cost. I usually cook my own food even if I'm staying in motels. Get an immersion heater!
Bicycle costs can be high especially if you go with expensive components. I've replaced 2 chain rings, a chain, a rear cassette and paid $300. I could have bought cheaper ones but I don't want parts breaking in the middle of no where. If you can tune your own bike (or car) you'll save money too.
