The PerfecTemp cordless electric kettle really is perfect for heating water to degrees most optimum in brewing various beverages.  I never was much of a tea fan.  Recently I learned that some teas should be steeped at higher or lower temperatures than others in order to enhance the flavors.  I was raised to boil water and immediately start dunking tea bags, which I thought might explain why I’d never enjoyed tea as much as others seem to.  I ordered this kettle to see if temp control made a difference in taste, and the answer is yes.  A big difference!  The kettle is easy to use and maintain.  One thing to watch out for is that the outside of the kettle body gets very hot, though the handle stays wonderfully cool.  No worries, since careful handling solves the problem.
