I'm looking for a source for a small ( 1L) (cordless, though not

since it'll be used in a dorm room.

Although Bodum Ibis is popular, I find the Krups equivalent to be
better made and a whole lot less likely to cause steam burns. I keep one
as a spare - amazing how just when you find a tool that suits, they
discontinue it.

BTW, almost any electric kettle will heat water faster than a standard
domestic microwave, waste much less energy doing it, and eliminate the
risk of "bumping" (when superheated water boils over after you pick up
the cup).
