10w is impressively low. And totally justifies the convenience in a lot of cases.

Thanks for the info.

10watts on stand-by? That’s impressive. I didn’t find that info on the website. Can you point me to where that is? plz

Better for what?

Moving parts and complexity makes it more prone to failure.

Also, how much energy do you need to keep this working? It’s not said on the website.

Granted, both kettle and this zori trade energy and complexity/failure-potential for convenience. Much more so the zori. How much is unknown. On the simple, less-energy end, you’d use an electrical resistance in an insulated jar.

All electric kettles will fail at some point. They have moving parts and are designed for obsolescence.

In my place I use a kettle that allows me to boil 1 cup of water. The filter mesh has failed long ago but the water does not have hardness. Instead I use a small improvised cap to keep the flow of vapour to the cut off thermostat (usually at the bottom of the handle).

Except your comment and the post seem to exist in different frames of reference.

Have you made simple mistake on your original comment?

That source is about the use of dried luffa, a cucumber like vegetable.

You commented about

dried sea cucumbers

From the Wikipedia article on sea cucumbers, “they are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body … found on the sea floor worldwide.”

Thus me having asked for a source.

I’ma gonna need a better source for that, k !?..

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.

In a lot of places the words ‘tea’ and ‘infusion’ are used interchangeably. Might be that…
