I love this electric kettle and use it many times each and every day.  As a Brit living in the US I miss having well made black tea, as well as making fruit teas and coffee.  All require different temperatures and this kettle serves me well on this score.  I also love that it has an automatic switch off when it reaches the set temperature.  In the years I have lived here this is my third Cuisinart PerfecTemp kettle and each one has lasted around 6-8 years.
