Why wouldn't an electric coffee pot fit the bill?

Coffee pots aren't kettles. They don't boil water, they just annoy it
a bit. This is the major reason why you can't get a decent brew in
the USA - no boiling water !


They're at WalMart under $10.

Well it's cheap.

Must be good.

It looks real similar to this picture I got from Livio from his
trip to the Fancun Market

Yep. That looks like it's pretty much the one.

I checked with Tony at La Societe du The here in Minneapolis. He
said he's got them in stock $110.00 plu $8.00 shippping.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off
now.

Nothing better than percolated tea at some optimum temperature less than
boiling. You don't need a gongfu pot and all the multiple infusions you
could drink from your most expensive tea savoring the after tones of the
last delicately leached tannins. Anyway I saw at Walmart a 'hot shot rapid
boil' electric water kettle for $15. The teenager working unpaid overtime
while mopping the floor because the janitors were in court thought the
stainless steel kettle for $30 was ideal for tea but probably needed an
inline power source 1500w variable resistor from the electronics department
for white tea which requires gradations of 1/4 degree.

I don't know if you're interested in that model or not, but you're
welcome. I've been very happy with mine.

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it's
because they take better care of it.

I want to thank everybody for their input. I have ordered a Kamjove
V-80 and they converted it to 110v. I will post a review after I
receive it. You can see it at

Oooh. That's a pretty one.

Hi All,

I just wore out my Bodum Ibis eletric Kettle. This one lasted me about
a year but was heavily used! Very heavily used! Anyone have a
recomendation for another 110v electric kettle ?

....pause for mental arithmetic...

I've used my Cuisinart at least 5000 times without incident.

How come no one has mentioned the ultimate electric kettle for tea
drinkers?...the Capresso glass electric kettle. You can tell by sight
how hot the water is.
