Electric kettles make so many things quicker and easier.
Most people have one of these now, but it took America more than a generation to get them after Europe, so I’m still in the land of scarcity — they’re wonderful.
This is a highly rated model — I personally have a smaller 1 liter one that’s not nearly as pretty. I really like that mine doesn’t make any kind of noise when the water reaches the desired temperature — just the physical click of the start button switching off (all on its own, without any worry about forgetting it on the stove!)
The only thing to look out for with the smaller models (I’m usually making a single serving and could happily use a 0.5 liter kettle) is making sure that they can be fully lifted off the base; you want to be able to take it to the sink without needing to unplug it, but that’s a sacrifice they make with a lot of smaller “travel” kettles.
Some people are particular about the temperature that they brew their tea or coffee, so you can get precise models for temperature or with narrow spouts for pour-overs, but I’m not so discerning 🤷♀️ Mine does have a dial for hotter or cooler, but I’ve always assumed it has about the same accuracy as my toaster… 🙃😬
