    potentially random questio : does anybody have a quiet, efficient kettle that they’d recommend? mine just gave up the ghost. Cost not really an issue (within 2SD of the mean, say…)

      Choice on Kettles says that you can’t really go on price alone.

      After using my membership to get to the real reviews, they recommend Russell Hobbs Montana Kettle RHK142. The Russell Hobbs Stone Textured Kettle RHK62STN if you can find it at like half price or something, because an RRP of $129 for a kettle is crazy.

      Honourable mention to Kambrook Pour With Ease 1.7L BPA Free Kettle KKE280 which had “Acceptable noise levels” and is a far more reasonable $40.

      we’ve had the Breville IQ (glass, multiple temps) for about 8 years now, have yet to kill it. Occasionally have to clean it, but that literally involves chucking about a quarter teaspoon citric acid in it and running a boil.

      Depending on what you want to do with it, you could also consider a hot water dispenser.

      Since those don’t need to boil bigger amounts of water at a time, it should be a good bit quieter.

          100% recommend a Tiger hot water dispenser, it has been sheer luxury just pressing a button to get 90C water immediately, delicately, and silently streamed onto my various beverage components. And a quick and quiet reheat to get back to 100C when needed. Seems to use very little energy to keep the water warm
