    What about:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lloytron-E886-Travel-Kettle-Cups/dp/B0000C6ZFY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1459774348&sr=8-7&keywords=travel+kettle+mini

    Although I wouldn't want to be seen as encouraging travel kettles - I'm yet to be convinced on payback of them.
    Hi All

    ^^^

    That's effectively the one we've had for some time, just different logo .... it's not a bad little kettle & it's small enough to drop a tea-cosy over to keep warm for next boil/brew (switched off at the wall of course!) .... the only issue is that these types of small travel kettles don't have a 360 base so need unplugging to refill - no real problem, but the 'inconvenience' may annoy some (MrsZ often included!) .... anyway, considering the amount of pv being installed we took a leaf out of tunnel's book and picked up a spare with a 360 base at the weekend just incase this thread leads to a long-term world shortage for low-wattage kettles ... ;)
