• Eco Kettle to save water and electricity

    Most of us tend to fill the kettle to the brim and then heat the water in it to make tea or coffee. This leads to a lot of wastage of water and electricity as we don’t always use up the water we heated. The Eco Kettle is the solution to this eternal problem. This seemingly normal kettle has two water chambers in it. One is the central reservoir that is filled to the brim, and there’s a central valve button in the lid to release only the amount of water you need to the second boiling chamber. This central valve lets you send one to eight cups of water in the boiling chamber and helps you save a considerable amount of water and electricity. Saving energy is a vital need in today’s world and the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in UK stated “If everyone boiled only the water they needed to make a cup of tea instead of ‘filling’ the kettle every time, we could save enough electricity to run practically all the street lighting in the U.K”. The Energy Saving Trust also found that the Eco Kettle used 30% less electricity compared to other kettles.


    Some other features of the eco-friendly kettle are 3kW, 1.5 liter capacity, steam control and boil-dry protection, a washable limescale filter, a locking lid and 12 month warranty. It is retailed at the Ethical Superstore for $50.
