I drink a lot of tea and having a kettle is definitely a necessity. When it comes to drinking tea temperature can really effect the taste so with this kettle being able to pick the prefect temperature for the type of tea your drinking is really helpful. The kettle set guide is also helpful if you don’t know when temperature is best for your the tea your drink. I also use this for my and my kids hot chocolate because most kids don’t like waiting for the hot chocolate to cool this helps prevent my child from burning his mouth. The kettle can get pretty hot going up to 212 degrees which I usually set if I’m making pasta because it actually heats up to a boil faster than if I boil water on my stove plus I can use it to make my noodle boils without having to microwave them. Overall very happy with this kettle and would highly recommend.
