(otherwise known as a immersion water boiler)has been going back and forth with me for years. Have tried hotel kettles of good quality a few times and find them soooo slow also the same problem as another poster with the cheap plastic ones you can buy. Brian got a bit of a boot out of it once and then noticed water in the connection and a few sparks which was a little off putting.
The best thing about the dangly thingy is that you can boil water quickly in the cup. Anyone who feels as I do about my morning cup of real coffee (and Nescafe will not do) will understand how I feel about my dangly thingy. God I've got some lovely things.
