Electric kettle: when temperature matters

Aisle
Brew & Pour
What you drink decides almost everything in this aisle. Tea bags and instant coffee need hot water and nothing else. Pour-over and loose-leaf green tea reward exact temperatures and an even grind. Before paying for control, be honest about whether your morning cup can tell the difference.
