I'd like to here what you all use to heat your water for green tea/matcha. I am using this:

I like it because I don't make matcha in my kitchen, I have a little tea-table in the corner of my room. I make all my tea there. I just keep some bottles of water and this bad boy, and no other heating sources are necessary. It boils cold water in about 20 seconds then I just let it sit in there to cool.
However, I recently stumbled upon this, and it might be a purchase for me.

I mean, I am a bit OCD about green tea. If tea says it should be brewed at 75 degrees C, I want my water to be 75! I don't like eyeballing or guessing water temp when it comes to matcha. Anyone use it? How is it? How many temperature settings are there? Does it allow you to set a specific temperature, or...?
you can order that off of the teachat host website http://www.adagio.com/teaware/utiliTEA_ ... 30f0454ff2
There is an upgrade coming out http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?t=9343 but you may not be able to last that long. Seems to be the best electric kettle out there.

We were fated to pretend.
Run to your nearest Asian market and pick up a Zojirushi water kettle. You can set the heat to 145, 195, and 205. Which is coincidentially, Gyokuro, Sencha (with a little cooling), and Bancha/Houjicha temperature.
That and a good yu-samashi (or if you're ghetto like me, just have a bunch of spouted measure cups), and you're set.
