So, at the end of last year, I got out of the habit of making tea to take to work with me. I was tired and getting up twenty minutes earlier so I could get the kettle running and make up some travel mugs was just not happening. I mean, I could be sleeping during that time! As a result of this, I ended up drinking a lot of the free coffee my workplace provides. Which would be fine except that coffee turns me into an anxiety-riddled, panic-stricken, hyperactive nut who crashes within two hours and gets bad headaches.
Anyway.
My fiance bought this for me so I could make tea in the mornings without sacrificing a bit of sleep to do it. Also so that I’d stop drinking the coffee at work.
I love this thing so much. My only complaint is how time is set for the auto-start feature — I really hate that I had to scroll through to the correct time minute-by-minute, rather than just being able to set the hour and minute separately. Other than that, this is fantastic. Finer temperature control than my previous kettle, I wake up to fresh tea (even if I’m still having trouble adding enough leaf to the basket), and it’s so much fun to watch the water heat up! I really can’t recommend this enough!
