In my experience not only are the dirt cheap kettles good, they’re better than their more expensive counterparts. Plug it in, hit the button, wait a bit, got boiled water. More expensive devices will ask for what specific temperature or offer useless bloat features. It’s a simple job, the device should be just as simple to match.
The only thing I want is a thermometer to help me dial in the temp of my yerba mate, around 60°C.
It’s not necessary, and at work I just use my hand as the thermometer, but if I’m spending money, it’s nice to have.
This conversation is making me realize I need a stovetop solution ready when this Hamilton Beech dies again; the last one died after two years, which is a ridiculously short life span.
