My kettle died the other day so I went off to Power City to replace it. We make a lot of tea in this house so couldn't last a day without a kettle.
I noticed the "Tefal Quick Cup" which claimed to deliver hot water in 3 seconds, energy savings up to 65%, filtered, better tasting water. It seemed like a great (albeit not cheap) idea, the saleswoman told me her in-laws have one and it's great, so I paid up my €79.95 and brought it home.
I brought it back today for the following reasons:
1. It doesn't deliver boiling water (the instruction booklet inside tells you this, it doesn't say it on the box).
2. Because the water isn't boiling, tea made with it tastes horrible. Try making a cuppa using hot water from your tap and you'll get the idea!
3. It's noisy, sounds like when the steam nozzle on our coffee machine is operating.
4. It spits, so you need to have a tray or something to catch the excess water.
I really HATED this machine. Have now bought a bog standard cordless kettle at €25 and am enjoying a nice hot cup of tea.
Thought I'd post this in case anyone is considering buying one.
