Hello Dominic, and all,
I must agree with you on the hot shot. Your water, spring,drinking,
tap whatever you like, in a fast reliable, in my book, little
appliance that heats water to boiling very fast.
Also, after changing the water bottles at work and seeing mucousy film
in the reservoir ugh! (too many persons using possibly unsanitary
methods for changing or cleaning the water cooloer/heater), I must
either take my own hot water, or use a small apparatus for my little
tea moments. Or sadly not drinking nice fesh brewed tea at work.
So, the Hot Shot works very nice, and electric kettle too but at a
much higher cost. I found mine at a local office supply place pretty
inexpensively. At least with these (kettles or HS ) you know what you
are getting.
