I’m getting used to a new kettle and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I had the glass Breville kettle with variable temp settings and it was on the counter with a bar of hanging ceramic mugs behind it. I’ve had that set up for years, but the other morning I managed to tap the spout of the kettle into one of the mugs when picking it up and it broke off the lip of the kettle. Those kettles are not cheap! I decided to go for some random $35 kettle off Amazon that is mostly doing the trick, but I’m still mourning the loss of my Breville and wondering what to do with the base. It seems like a waste to trash it. I’ll get over it some day!
This smells intoxicatingly fruity in the bag! It looses a little bit of that punch when steeped. I added oat milk to my cup which made it a creamy strawberry dessert tea. Strawberry is the most present and identifiable flavor. It’s a mellow strawberry as opposed to some of the really bright and bold strawberry teas they have. I’m finding this to be a comforting cup this morning!

Can you order a new kettle without base? I just ordered a new blender cup (the large one with built in blade) after it broke and was pleasantly surprised that was even an option. I contacted the company and this was how I learned of this option. :) Regardless, I do hope your new kettle grows on you or you find an solution that you like. My glass Breville kettle is on its last legs and I’m quite attached to it.
I looked on the website, but didn’t see a kettle only option. This was my second of the Breville glass when the base started acting up on my first. When I got the new (now broken) one I tried swapping the kettles and bases with each other and they didn’t work. I don’t know how often they change things around in the electronics, so I’m reluctant to buy a solo kettle off ebay for fear of it not working. I am getting used to this new kettle, but it’s not as sleek and quick to start as my Breville.
