I think you will find the cost of boiling the water for a few cups of tea each day is insignificant compared to the energy needed to heat your home in winter.  Being eficcient will chip a little off your bill, but is lost in the noise compared to the energy price rises recently.

Exactly, I used a monitor on my kettle for a day and boiling 2 cups of water 5 times a day and 2 full kettles twice a day used slightly less than 1 kW of electricity. 

I think you meant 1 kWh there, which is not an insignificant amount. About a quarter of my total daily electricity use in fact.

I think everyone knows what I mean but if it makes you happy to mention every time when someone misses the h then go for it.

It's an important distinction which can cause confusion, so I will thanks.

What about a 1 cup kettle? Fill to the max, in seconds gives 1 cup of boiled water.

should be good but unless you already need to replace your existing kettle then it would take thousands of cups for the savings to pay for the initial purchase.
