I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I’m willing to pay quite a bit.

    Looking at those, they’re less than 1kw. So either they’re ridiculously slow to heat up, or they’re a total waste of money to keep water hot when you’re not using it.

    Also, is it hot, or boiling? The former is truly horrific for tea making

      Yes, no. It takes about 10-15 mins maybe to boil, and then since it’s very well insulated it takes barely any energy to maintain. Probably less than if you’re boiling water fresh 3-5 times a day.

      It’s adjustable.
