Well, I only need to heat between 4 and 12 oz. of water at a time so 1000 and 1500 watts isn't going to make a difference really. My problem is all of the nice kettles that I want are 1500 watts and I can't use them even if i wanted to.t4texas wrote:
I am certainly open to finding a watter kettle that is better for tea, or more aesthetically appealing, so I am trying to get a better handle on this. How small an amount of water are you wanting a kettle to heat? How little will the other electric kettles heat?
My limited understanding of electric power suggests that a 1500 watt pot simply heats water faster than a 1,000 watt or 700 watt kettle, not necessarily less efficiently. Am I way off base here?

I forgot about your OP and the circuit breaker. The Kamjove may be your best option. Works well and used by many.Odinsfury wrote:Well, I only need to heat between 4 and 12 oz. of water at a time so 1000 and 1500 watts isn't going to make a difference really.
