Tea kettles

[JamesA1]

They are electric. We requested one this past March.

Thank you.

Guess I'm not a tea connoisseur, to me hot water is hot water if the machine is clean.

There is no way to clean the coffee taste and smell out of a coffee machine. I dislike the smell so much I have to remove the machine from our villa counter and store in a closet until we get ready to leave. Even though it is "clean" the smell lingers.

Oh, my gosh.

We do the same thing.

My husband hates the smell of coffee.

You can also use the coffee machine or a pan to heat water.

You can’t use a coffee machine to heat water for tea. Fine for coffee

Really?!!! I always just use the microwave if I wanted tea. This changes everything!

I do the same thing. But don't ever admit that in front of one of the CMs in the Twining Store. He gave me such a dirty look!

Will definitely request a tea kettle from now on. Always wanted to make myself tea after a long day in the parks but didn’t want to use the coffee maker for hot water. I love coffee and I love tea but NEVER do I mix the two!

This thread is 6 1/2 years old, I wonder if they still have those plug in tea kettles available .

I'm at the BCV resort in a studio, can I request an electric kettle? Thanks Canadian Tom

We're going to BCV and staying in a studio, will the BCV provide an electric kettle if I call housekeeping? Thanks

One of the very first things that went in our Owner's Locker.

It isn't heating the water with an electric element. It is the fact that the water will taste like coffee..

We have an electric kettle. We heat our water to 190 degrees.

For brewing the best tea or French press coffee, the electric kettle would seem to be the optimal choice, providing the best temperature control. I don’t think that heating water with a Keurig affects the taste so that the water tastes like coffee, since the water is heated in a separate compartment, then enters the K-cup where it interacts with the coffee grounds (or whatever is inside the K-cup, we also use ours for hot cocoa), then pours into the cup. To get heated water, don’t put a K-cup in the cup holder of the machine and the heated water will flow straight through the cup holder into the cup below. I think the main problem with using the Keurig for making hot tea is the fact that the temperature of the water is lower than optimal for brewing most teas. Our Keurig only heats water to about 175 deg. F. Fine for reconstituting instant hot cocoa, but not the best for brewing tea or even producing really good coffee (although the convenience of single-use K-cups for a quick cup of coffee wins out for me over making an entire pot of drip coffee. We’re not really big coffee drinkers, but if I were, I’d probably want something that produces a better result.)
