As a side question, do you measure how hot the water gets before
steeping your high quality loose leaf teas.

Thanks for your expertise.

I got a Kamjove that I brought home from China last Christmas.
Unfortunately, they lied that it could convert the voltage. I had to
get a step-down transformer, a huge thing of about 20 pounds, just to
drink tea.

But, yes, it does make things convenient; especially if you are doing
Gongfu Cha and you need water with a constant rolling boil.
