[patent pending] Kettles have an adjustable temperature shut off thingy? [/patent pending]

What so you can not boil water?

Probably because if you’re that concerned about making proper coffee you’d have a coffee machine for that and only use the kettle for tea (and other alternatives).

the optimum range fo temp for brewing coffee is 91-94degs, so that would save a rainforest just on its own! 🙂

So you too have discovered the optimum Pot Noodle temperature is slightly below boiling?

But they tend to spring a leak just after the warranty period expires, so need replacing, which aint so green after all.

Some Bosch kettles have different temperature settings.

So, £60 for the Bosch kettle linked above. How long for its savings, over a regular kettle, to pay for itself if making, say 10 cups of tea per day???

Yep – loads of temperature-controlled kettles about.
I use one for tea – 80-degrees for Oolong for example.

Although from an eco point of view it’s not necessarily great, because it holds the temperature, so the temptation is to heat a lot of water, then keep pouring from it for each new cup.

Just done some very rough calcs with some wild estimates and came up 4.1 years

So, that’s 65.12195122 days in a year then. Cool, glad that’s clarified.

Thats good, so lets all buy one and save a rainforest. Oh, wait. That will mean we chuck away all our current working kettles.

Mmmm, thats a bit of a waste.
