Recommendations for an Electric Kettle?

[bunnysandefur]

So, do we have an offer of, "I'll show him mine if he shows me his?"

 

I already exposed myself with my HK pot.

My god ... I didn't think this was possible ... showing roasters is now sounding almost pornographic.

You know those calendars with the pretty ladies posing on cars, motorcycles, etc? Maybe we need to put together a GCBC with hot girls posing with coffee roasters.

Ever see the Kona coffee calendar with the nekkid ladies?

I have not seen that, but I sure would like too.

No you don't! Coffee farmers, sans clothing, might make you swear off coffee for life!

Maybe we can get a group buy for these?

I certainly won't stand for that!

LOL... reminds me of a bad idea our mens group at church had... topless car wash..   

"Get a few teens with signs out on the main road advertising topless car wash fund raiser... you pull in and the over weight over the hill men of the church wash your car.. topless

Well ... the people did get what they came for.

How about a Bugatti kettle?

I saw this today... variable temperature control looks interesting and somewhat affordable.

My Braun electric kettle gave up the ghost last week so I went looking for a replacement.  I bought a Bodum Bistro and took it back IMMEDIATELY.  The stupid thing doesn't have an "OFF" switch.  Sheesh.  Turn it ON and you change your mind, you can only turn it off by pulling the plug, and then when you plug it back in, it's still ON?  What?

Anyway, I ended up with this

It is very satisfactory in the short run.  Not too big, not too small.  Fast.  Light to hold and pour.  I think I'm going to like it.  No variable temperature, but that suits me;  having a variable temperature control means I have to think about it, and first thing in the morning, ON and OFF are as much as I can manage....

I picked up 4 of these Saeco Kettles for an event last year. I gotta say that they work great!
There are three temp presets at 105, 150 and 200 deg. plus boil.
It pours very nicely and will hold any of your presets for 2 hours before auto shutoff.
It's got enough power to get 50 oz of cold water up to 200 (f) in about 4 min.
It also looks cool when using any of the presets... the plastic front lights up to a different color depending on the temp you choose. ... allows you to set the temp without your contacts in (provided you're not color blind!)
I was a little concerned that there might be a plastic taste to the water but none is imparted. It's an excellent electric kettle that I don't hesitate to recommend.

For my church we opted for big Zojirushi kettles with the dispensing button - figuring less people would be in harms way if no one had to lift and pour from the smaller kettles. They work great at holding temps at 195°F for hours on end, and to date no one has scalded themselves.

Mine is a year old this month and still works like a champ.  It boils water and then shuts off automatically, and that is all I want my Aroma-X kettle to do.
