Dusty Chalk Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 An electric kettle -- mine has been acting up, and it finally bit the dust tonight, so I'm going to have to do without my homemade for a couple days. ARRGH!!!1!

ARRGH!!!1! homemade what? What kind of electric kettle do you use? I've been wanting to buy one for preparing french press coffee but have been scared off by many reviews of electric kettles that impart a "plasticky" taste to the water.
Chekhonte Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 post jack, don't you have a stove at your house or do you plan on using it at work? I have tried using a plastic electric kettle and the rubber seals to add taste to the water. I find it unacceptable. You could just buy a real kettle and a hotplate though. French press coffee is way better than drip in my opinion.

Dusty Chalk Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 homemade what?Green tea. Basically, it's my own take on the Arizona Iced Green Tea that they have.What kind of electric kettle do you use? I've been wanting to buy one for preparing french press coffee but have been scared off by many reviews of electric kettles that impart a "plasticky" taste to the water.I've been using the Bodum 5500. I am just in the process of buying another one, as soon as they answer my question about whether or not shipping is free. Notice their shipping rates between $19.99 and $350:shipping rates -- it's a little weird. I'll probably give the one from Adagio Teas a try later in the year. I've never had a problem with plastic-ky taste, but I'll ask my housemate about it -- she makes exactly that -- french press coffee -- with it. We rinse it out with a vinegar/water mix every once in a while. The vinegar smell afterwards is much stronger than the taste, and only lasts for a couple iterations -- it goes away fairly quickly. If you're really worried about it, get a metal one. I don't know if the Adagio Teas one is lined, but now that I think about it, I would think that they would have to be, to avoid electrocution.
grawk Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I like my instant hot water tap in my sink. It was about $250 installed.

I'd recommend one of the Zojirushi Water Dispensers. Also, Upton Tea if you haven't found them.
Chekhonte Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 well, you can always feed it to your type writer.

Dan Wright of Modwright will be attending the Tyll So Cal 8/24 meet so let me know if you have any questions, complaints or requests, I will pass them along to him if you wish.
Dusty Chalk Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Well, a little more time will need to pass before I have a chance to even form any opinions/whatnot, but I'll try to remember closer to the date. And: that's pretty cool that you have people like that at your meet.
Augsburger Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Well Eric Clapton was out of town and Madonna had a date that Sunday........
Augsburger Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I can't take credit for Dan Wright, it was the LA/OC Audio Society guys who set it up with Tyll.

Dusty Chalk Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Well Eric Clapton was out of town and Madonna had a date that Sunday........Pfff... ...now if you had said Kylie Minogue, then I might've felt a tingle of regret...
