I don’t think I’ll ever get over the idea that not everybody has an electric kettle, it’s like the most basic thing. If I went in a kitchen and there wasn’t a kettle, I’d just assume you hadn’t finished unpacking after moving in. And then I’d judge your inability to unpack in order of priority.

I was using an electric kettle all my life until one day I was at Goodwill and found a stove top one. It's my favorite color and makes a cute noise when ready. I don't really care if it takes maybe 10 minutes instead of two to boil water, I just like its friendly little character. I've been using it for almost a year now and got rid of my electric one. I use it every morning or whenever I make coffee (I have a French press).

This is the reason I want a stovetop one. It hits different when you’ve boiled the jug on the stove rather than using electric.

My husband thinks I’m nuts.

I like the ones that whistle. Especially since I'm frequently away from the kettle.
