post hole digger posted:it takes a long time and you have no idea what the water temp is when youre done, plus your tea bag just kinda floats on top of the water instead of pouring kettle water onto the tea bag. i agree that microwaves take too long to properly heat up a single cup. but if you're heating something to boiling you probably know what temp it is. also you could just pour it into a mug that has your teabag in it for that hot pouring action

goblin week posted:microwaving your cup of water too much can result in superheating it and the water exploding in scalding steam this gets bandied about a lot but i think the risks are overstated. also just put a toothpick in it or something. it just needs some nucleation substrates

Soricidus posted:american electric kettles still take forever to boil. 240v mains is the one thing I miss from britain i agree they take a while in comparison but tbh i hit the kettle on then go draw a couple shots for an americano in the mornings and it's ready by the time i am so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DELETE CASCADE posted:oxo poo poo ain't that great, it's the same walmart level quality but they slap a nice grip on there and charge $10 more for it. no i do not have a superior kitchen gadgets brand to recommend, sorry i was specifically making a recommendation on a kettle that i explicitly have experience with, not making a blanket statement about brands but go off king

Achmed Jones posted:i never knew tea lights were for..that. it all makes sense now. i take it you go through a candle a day? lmao what a wholesome fact to learn depends on how long you want to keep the tea hot really but that’s not an unreasonable goal. you are burning indoors tho and you can smell it. on the plus side 50 packs of tea lights tend to be pretty cheap

Achmed Jones posted:i want tea i can drink at night. even white teas can have a significant amount of caffeine, which i guess leaves either decaffeinated or teas that aren't tea i've yet to have a good decaf tea. there are finally some good decaf coffees (especially if you roast yourself) but the teas have always been flavourless. hopefully someone can point out a good one. lots of good other options though. it's not to my taste really but how do you feel about rooibos? my local shoppe also puts out a really good herbal chai blend
