That is if you don't want to spring for an electric kettle, don't think they are expensive. Someone abandoned one in our break room.


I held off in buying an electric for years.. when the current routine (Tea, Pavoni and sometimes PP all in the same session) evolved into a daily routine I went ahead and got one. I think it was $50 or so. BTW, the weak link in the electric kettle is the thermo-fuse thing. It’s a $2 part. When it dies the whole thing quits. You can hotwire around it or replace. If you hotwire don’t ever let it run dry....
