Boiling tap thingy

mrs_motivated

We have just had a boiling tap thing (sorry for the lack of technicality ) Anyway you puts you teabag in the cup - stick cup under tap and hey presto - no kettle to boil.

Anyway - I have been told they are environmentally friendly as you only ever boil the amount you need, but are they cheaper to run than a kettle?

they are definately convenient and something i would possibly consider if running costs are not to high. I think its called a quooker

If you have a flat bottom kettle with concealed element and can only boil what you need then the kettle will be more efficient. The quooker has a small tank which will add a heatloss to the process. The quooker is also hideously expensive but I can see the appeal of having one.

I have an Ecokettle http://www.ecokettle.com/

EDIT: The quooker also has a standby consumption although minor at 10w is still something a kettle does not have.

They are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. And if it works great. But aren't their environmentally friendly kettles?
