No, Crock, it's just that other people have nicked your boiling water and refilled it twice.

You really need to provide us with an ambient temperature, starting water temp and the temperature at which it switches off (assuming just over 100 degrees). Then we can make a fair direct comparision between our kettles and yours, overwise we're just being unfair.

I thought you all had skinny lattes, double de-caff with a half twist in that London, in those cardboard cups permanently welded to your dannies.

My wife recently replaced our essentially fine kettle on account of its stupid pourer-filter had got worn out, by getting a Breville with nectar points. I pointed out that we'd had two Breville kettles before, and both of them had been total crap: over-designed, under-engineered, dead within the year. Sure enough, this one has a fancy (and utterly pointless) light built into the switch ("Blue! Ooooh!") but the spring that pops the lid up is so feeble that it no longer pops the lid up. This within a month of brand new. I give it a year before it stops turning off when it boils. Then it'll doubtless be dumped and replaced with another new one, equally crap. I swear to god....

I hope you wash your hands before going back to the kettle.

I worked in a place where we'd have emptied the boss's
kettle and filled it with wee. But his mistress ,
the secretary, stood guard over the damn thing so we never could. But we did dream.

Water capacity as well.

Totally sympathise.
By your description, your Breville sounds identical to our Morphy-Richards - right down to the oooh-blue switch and the lid spring made from papier-mache.

We have a continual hot water boiler at the moment but we will probably move who knows what the new premises will have!

Has anybody got any tips on getting rid of the 'new kettle taste'... it lasted for a good twelve months on my current kettle, and am dreading the day when i need to replace it and have to put up with crap brews until the 'new kettle taste' has faded.

@User1314, you kettlecammers just go around provoking electrical items into some sort of confrontation with no greater purpose than trying to increase the number of viewers on your Youtube channel.
This is pathetic. Truly pathetic. Typical and pathetic. In a typically pathetic way. Sad, even.
I bet you were reading out the serial number as you photographed that kettle.
Didn't it leave you enough room as it passed you? Was it doing 41mph in a 30 limit?
Grow up! Just grow up!!!
Leave the camera at home for once and just enjoy a nice brew for what it is. Pathetic....
