Go put the kettle on!

Did you know that in Britain we drink 229 million cups of tea and coffee everyday? It's no surprise that they've made an eco-kettle!

How does the eco-kettle work?

The eco-kettle has two chambers; a central chamber and a outer boiling chamber. By pressing the button on the lid, the water dispenced into the boiling chamber from the central chamber, which can be filled right to the top. At the push of a button you can set the exact amount of water you need; the kettle only boils up to eight cups at a time.

How does the eco-kettle save energy?

  • reduces the boiling time by 90 seconds
  • uses less electricity
  • reduces your carbon emissions

And if that isn't enough to convince you! The Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) reckons that if every kettle user in the UK switched to the eco-kettle then we'd save 1,270,000,000 kWh of electricity every year.

So get an eco-kettle and make everyone a cuppa!

That site (Eco-Freak) is awesome. There are so many other things, as well as the kettle, that I want to get... like a water powered calculator for the office!

Well found, Eco-Phee!
