I’m really impressed with this kettle.  At first I thought it was just going to be a hot water kettle with a cool octopus graphic but the best part is that it you can steep tea inside.  There are different temperatures settings for different teas delicate to strong.  There is also a “stay warm” feature that keeps your steeped tea at the correct temperature.  I’ve only used a couple of tea bags in it so far but I’ll attempt to use loose leaf teas as there is a removable strainer.  It holds 1.75 liters just fine.  Although the lid is a bit small and removing the tea bags might be tricky, it’s still a great idea that eliminates having to use separate strainers or brew one batch at a time.  I never was one to drink tea and now I enjoy it whenever I’m at my office!
