These big kettles are inconvenient if you're a vac pot user. They're too heavy too lift comfortably and there's not enough room under the spigot for the top bowl of a vac pot. So you end up drawing water into a vessel for transfer to the coffee maker.




Why are you adding water through the top? I just pout it in the bottom carafe, sit the unit on the stove, and then add the top funnel.


Brain fart? I meant the bottom bowl of the 5-cup Yama table-top vac pot and it's stand are too tall to fit under the spigot.

Whatever, it'd be inconvenient to drag it to the kettle to start a pot of coffee. Much better to have a small, hand-held unit.

I think I'm going to go with the aforementioned Adagio UtiliTEA. It has many admirers, and goes for a measly $49.95 on Amazon. I take it no one here has experience with it, though?

I really love those Zojirushi's. Some of them look like they might be able to do my laundry too.

It's even licensed by the Hello Kitty company, Sanrio, making it the official Hello Kitty Toshiba Electric Boiler.
