Joining in, any tips for a good electric kettle or thermopot?

I tried the cheap ones, and expensive ones, even in-the-middle ones. All of them suckers keep burning down in a year or two.

I’ve had a bonavita electric kettle for 5+ years and it’s been great. I just use it for heating up water ~daily and have zero complaints (not sure if there is anything else that you would be looking for an electric kettle to do). I’m pretty sure it was like $50 on Amazon.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Yeah, there's not much features to expect from a teapot other than maybe specific cutoff temperatures for brewing exotic sorts of tea. Other than that, reliability is the main concern, and I've had even the seemingly well built ones suddenly die on me for no particular reason.

The one I have you can set temperature that it heats to and tell it to either hold that temperature or get to it and then it’ll just cool off if you don’t use it. It has more settings but I’ve just had it set to 194 for forever.

I will say that I swear I spent closer to $50-60 for mine but it’s at like $105 on Amazon right now which is absurd. But looking at the price history on camelcamelcamel the price really has climbed a bit over the past few years. It used to drop around $60-70 a bit. Ridiculous how expensive things are getting.

I've had my Breville Tea Maker for years now ... to the point the labels on some buttons are worn off ... one of my favourite purchases.
