    A countertop water boiler. It turns out I go through just about 4L of tea a day and now I spend a lot less time boiling water. And when you refill it and it comes to temperature it plays Fur Elise

    edit: typo

      You mean a kettle? How did you not already have one?

        Very uncommon in the US at least.

        They’re a little different. Kettles are small (1-2 liters) will heat water until it’s boiling and then shut off(or have the user disconnect the heat source)

        Water boilers hold a larger amount of water (3-5 liters) at a consistent temperature with a button to dispense it.

        I upgraded from a kettle to a zojirushi water boiler and I’ve never looked back. The thing is incredible. Absolutely worth the price.

          It also keeps the water still hot because they’re insulated.

        No, I mean the things I linked to. They’re like small countertop hot water tanks. I also do have multiple kettles.

      +rep for Zojirushi. My water boiler lid recently began chipping and pretty much disintigrating and on their website I saw they even have replacement parts for discontinued products. Very cool of them
