100 Words: The Two Kettle Chorus

Together they would bubble and steam, the sounds emitting from the room like a chorus calling us in for elevenses and afternoon tea.  Or so ...

We were camping along the #OrangeRiver (about 700km north of Cape Town).

This was the first night's camp on the bank. Hot tea and coffee was most welcome - it's winter here, although not terribly cold.

I'm claiming this for my #SilentSunday, since the whole place was wonderfully silent, barring the call of the occasional eagle, or splosh of a fish jumping.

There is little in life as satisfying as chemically descaling a kettle.

#kettle #descaling #HardWater #carbonates #FormicAcid

First attempt to replace all (or most) of my coffees today with #coldbrew overnight in the 'bonus' French press cafetière that I acquired through someone's else's botched logistics... Might save ~0.1kWh (per day) in #kettle use.

Hey you, your normal #kettle sucks, buy an #AI designed one instead, you losers!

All you morons that bought 180° bases for your old kettle - you were scammed!! No wonder it was tipping over and you were scalding yourself - No More!

This one has a 360° base!

I've always had problems with my kettle - it just sits there, boiling water, and nothing else! boring!

Get the future now! Only a bargain 3x the price of your current one!

Aperiodic request for someone to build an electric kettle with a magnetic sturrer included.

If you don't know why then stur boiling water in a kettle (very carefully) to see what changes 🙂👍

#Invent #Kettle

Me, most of the year: This #kettle with temperature selection is unnecessary frippery and I feel guilty spending the extra $50.

Me, during that one week of #brisbane winter, making my third mug of #jasmine #tea for the day: God this rules.
