I don't know whether I'm weird in this, but water boiled in an electric kettle tastes super weird to me. Like metallic or ozoney, but that might just be the ones where the element is right in the water. I think there are better kettles these days that use a different method and I'll have to investigate those and save up for one.
Putting a kettle on the stove is also part of the whole "making tea" ritual in my mind though, and flipping a switch doesn't have that same feeling. The kettle did clean up significantly (though there is no help for the loosened metal on the bottom) and it still boils water, so I'm not completely out of kettle yet.
You might be. I spent so many years having water made in microwaves (*gasp horrors*) for various reasons that anything NOT boiled in them tastes awesome to me. Huh now I'll have to look and see if mine has the element in the water.
I feel like mine wasn't that expensive? But since it was a gift, I don't know.
*nods* I can understand that. Oh that's good that it cleaned up somewhat!
New Year, new kettle? This one is probably about 15 years old, but I have been very thoughtless with it, so those were hard years for it. Going to have to do some investigating into electric I think, but this one cleaned up some and still functions, so it'd not an immediate and dire need.
