I wouldn't have anything other than a Revere Kettle at home :>

For work I recently got a T-Fal electric which has drawn admiring
glances from quite a few people when I fetch water. It boils at least
a liter in 90 sec then shuts off automatically. I'm hoping that by
drawing water from the water cooler rather than the hall fountain I'll
avoid mineral deposits.
