I just absolutely love this kettle.  I have it in red, and it is so aesthetically pleasing.  I don't drink coffee.  I drink decaffeinated green tea every day throughout the day.  Working from home I now have hot water waiting for me instead of making numerous trips to the microwave to warm up my cup of tea, which I do frequently because I tend to get wrapped up in my work, and by the time I get back to my tea it's cold.  As well, I love my tea piping hot, and having a gauge to view the temperature of the water is ideal for me.
