A countertop water boiler, I have one of the Zojirushi 4 liter units. It turns out I drink 3/4 of a gallon of tea or so per day. So not having to boil a kettle for every round is oddly luxurious.

I have one close to this and it’s been amazing. Great Christmas gift idea too.

And they are super efficient, and insulated. If you have the counter space it’s a good kitchen tool.

Maybe I’m just tired, but I’m struggling to think of other uses in the kitchen beyond just a warm beverage? Maybe for instant noodles or warming a bottle?

I usually microwave a mug for 1.5 minutes, but this could also be nice

I remember Technology Connections doing an episode on the Electric kettle. Its fascinating. Microwaving is still the fastest around the house, but I like being able to make more than one cup at a time.

I actually did a little research and apparently it’s sacrosanct to a Britton to even suggest heating water in a microwave.
