    My new kettle

    Just made my 3rd cup of tea using my new kettle.

    Not a top of the range model, just a value range one from ASDA.

    Any questions, feel free to ask.

    Can't afford a new car or running machine mind.

    As long as it matches the toaster you shouldn't offend HyperD.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      Yes, c'mon Prawny, does it match?!?
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        Is it metal?

        Does it have fast boil?

        Does it have a removable filter?

        My new one from Sainsburys has a nice chrome finish and cost just twenty of your English pounds in a recent sale. It ticked all the above boxes.

        It's still £40 on their web site: Breville Polished Stainless Steel Kettle - Kettles - Kitchen appliances - Kitchen - Home & garden - Sainsbury’s

        So it just shows you: sometimes it's better to look for a cheaper deal "in-store".

          Do you pour the remaining water into a value flask to save wearing the kettle out?

              We've got one of these



              Had it a few years. It was stupid expensive, but it does boil the water nice and quick. Apart from that it's crap. The outside gets hot, which took me by surprise. The lid is very tight - as a result the rubbery bit pulled off. ms#3 replaced it with a big metal chunky thing which screws in the hole, but that also gets super hot. The mouth is so narrow, you can't clean it out properly and the edges of the mouth are sharp, so if you do try and get into it to clean you end up with scraped knuckles. The filter thingy at the spout disintegrated after about 2 weeks.

                  Make sure you add the go-faster stickers on it to match your old BMW. It'll make you feel better about your small penis.
