love my electric tea kettle. Gets used several times a day, and not always for tea.
Husband makes drip coffee in a chemex and he uses it, and sometimes when I have to clean something, hot water would work best so it gets used for unconventional things like that too.
I don't know why these aren't more popular in the US, they're awesome. It's even safer than a kettle on the stove, since it shuts itself off when it's done boiling the water.
As an aspie, you can kinda see why I'd need that feature, huh? LOL
