While I don’t support Adagio anymore after their anti-LGBTQ+ scandal with the CEO, I have to mention that I’ve had this electric kettle for 10 years now. It still works like new. That’s pretty amazing, considering it gets used every single day.

I still wish it had a temperature gauge instead of just a range, though.

I hadn’t heard about that. Now I’m glad that I only like a couple of their teas. :/

Didn’t know either and looked it up. Saw the twitter posts. Geez. I only like 1 or 2 of their teas too. I was planning on passing on them anyway since I have found 3 or 4 other places I’ve fallen in love with recently. Thanks for heads up.

@TreeGal and Kawaii433 I’m actually kind of surprised that the story didn’t really make it to Steepster. I regret not starting a thread in Discussions about it when it was happening.

I’m glad to find out about this. There are a small few Adagio teas I really like and I might have a hard time going without, but most I won’t miss in my collection once they are gone. That is definitely the sort of thing that turns me off from a company, being a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself.

I’m so relieved to see these responses, y’all… I was afraid people here knew and didn’t care.

Thanks for letting us know, I hadn’t heard about it either.

Kawaii433

I care. <3 Thank you so much. Values over everything.

Bad that they do such a thing, I am about taking a stand so we all are treated equally. There was an old quote of “Love one another as I loved you.” Solid words.

Thank you for the heads up, Tabby! I am part of the LGBTQ community myself and was not aware of this. I had just been thinking of placing an order with Adagio and placed an order with Harney & Sons instead after hearing about this. Harney is definitely LGBTQ friendly! :)
mrmopar – Solid words for sure, friend! Thank you!

My husband got me this for our 2yr wedding anniversary (a little early as it’s not for another week) and I love it. I didn’t want anything super fancy as I mostly drink black teas, but I was tired of constantly guessing temperatures when I made my green/oolong teas.

This heats the water ridiculously quickly & it’s kind of spoiled me. I was boiling water for pasta yesterday and thought “Why is this taking so long to boil?!” I realized that I had already gotten used to the quickness of this kettle and laughed at myself.

The only criticisms I have are:

1. There is no specific temp settings- there are color markings for 180 and 212 and I know that if you set it between or below those color markings you get more varied temps, but it’d be nice to have some indication of other temps. I don’t need it so much but it’d be nice. If you need more specific temps and can afford to splurge on a higher end electric kettle, go for it. But this is more than enough for me :)

2. It could use some sort of indicator as to it being done. Like a ding or something since it doesn’t whistle. That’s not a big deal to me as it heats the water so fast, I don’t even bother to leave the kitchen. But it’d be handy.

I have this myself and I love it! Congrats on your anniversary :)
