    You can set the temperature. Then, not only does it heat the water up to only that temperature, it holds it there. No reheating.

    I've been living like a damn heathen for years and never knew it.

    This is as far as I'm going, though. I absolutely refuse to get into reverse osmosis water, charcoal filters, etc., etc.

    Please love yourself.

      Some tea drinkers claim you should always use freshly boiled or heated water as reboiling depletes the amount of dissolved gas.

      I personally can't tell the difference, and suspect that they're full of something other than tea.

      I do miss having a kettle that doesn't take freaking ages to boil. 250V mains FTW!

      I was only joking

        Damn. If i knew you were into R/O, I walked away from two systems. 50 gallon/hr output, 0.5 micron final scrub filters. And a forty gallon bladder tank.

              50 bucks. Worth it. It'll change your life. In a ridiculously small way but it absolutely will.

              Please love yourself.

                @aqua-letifer I don't even drink tea everyday, but my gooseneck kettle with temp controls has one of the few permanent spots on my countertop. (Toaster doesn't even make the cut)

                It's great for coffee pour overs as well.

                    For very, very small pieces of meat, probably.

                      @george-k well, it looks like it would be big enough for a decent steak.

                        There's a wiener joke in there somewhere.
