Eco Kettle

The kettle is not something I would have thought to be a big energy user, on the contrary, all that heating can take up a lot of power!

Ordinary kettles generally boil twice the amount of water that we need; with a 3KW kettle that can mean wasting the energy of around 50 lightbulbs!

Enter the ECO kettle, while there’s not a lot we can do to reduce the energy consumption (heat is heat, and it’s energy expensive!) the ECO kettle can at least help to reduce waste. If you’re only making one cup of coffee, for example, it wastes a lot of energy to heat up and entire kettle-full.

The eco kettle helps reduce waste by allowing you to boil the exact amount of water you need. It has two water compartments, one for storage, and the other for boiling. It allows you to release an exact amount of water from storage to boil.

This means you’re only using as much energy as you need to heat nly the amount of water you’re using. Pretty cool!
