It's not just the Chinese that make "interesting" mains voltage water heating devices. It appears that Turkey makes them too.

    Dear BigClive. Perhaps it will be interesting for you. In the times of the People's Republic of Poland, such devices were generally available and were called "kofewarka". They were mass-produced in the Eastern Bloc countries 🙂

    Best regards!

    ( As you all know ! ) this type of heater DUMPS all manner of " electrolysis " products into the water ( even using AC ! ) … I might use this to heat my shaving water , but NEVER to drink ! ! ….. DAVE™ ………

    I wonder if electricity+boiling is better than just boiling for sanitary purposes when the only water sources available are dodgy?

    After this review (when it was current) I launched into a project to try to purchase this exact kettle, find a brand new one in Budapest, I ordered one, arrived in California, and completely unusable in my home country, it has become one of my prized possessions, sitting out on display, ( still in its original plastic wrap package a proudly showing the bizarre green color scheme and critically important green plastic spoon attached to the side) it serves a a conversation starter and a completely exotic technology demonstrator of what is possible without government intervention and the assumption the user is not a idiot. Thanks Big Clive for opening my world and connecting me with a wonderful souvenir.

    I remember seeing a variant of this in Australia thirty years ago, in my hotel room. As a nod to safety the plug in power lead interlocked the lid.

    Some Chinese hotel rooms have kettles like that.
    Coffee is foul, tea, black, green or with milk is even worse 🙁
    I rapidly found out why my Chinese colleagues carried their own kettles when staying in unknown hotels.

    in Turkey markets ussually we have 1800 to 2200 watt resistance kettles. high quality brand like beko, arçelik, arzum, teba, sinbo (sinbo and teba are low budget but they don't this) never do something like this product.

    You gotta be mindful of those Sacrificial metals. They die for our sins, and bless our waters to make them unholy and unfit to drink.
