My family drinks a lot of tea. I love how many cups I can make with this kettle. It will also stay warm for 30 minutes. I love this feature because I always get distracted and forget I was waiting for water to boil. As a bonus, there's a screen in there so that filters scale and loose tea. Depending on how hard your water is there may be more of it and ours is pretty hard so I'm glad there's a screen in there. The design is a plus!
