Electric Kettle

[esoteric]

Our kettle at work is pretty much dead now. It's been leaking ever since I started working there over a year ago and since yesterday the lid doesn't close so we sit a mug on top when boiling it. Doesn't have any filtration so collects limescale so heavily it really needs a daily tip out.

Thing is though, it's a 2 litre kettle and they don't seem to exist anymore in the electric range and under £25.

All I can find is 1.7L in the £15-25 range and at maximum there is 7 of us using about 350ml in our ThermoCafe mugs. If you did the maths you figured out we overfill the kettle too.

We really need a 2l kettle but I cannot find one, anyone got some idea's?

Spend more money? Surely your work should be paying and even so if you all chucked in £10 you could buy a Dualit one which will far outlast any cheap pos you buy.

Your use goes beyond a cheap kettle really.

Get work to buy a new one.

Happy, caffeinated, workers are more productive workers and will save the company money.

Yep a decent boss would buy one or just all chip in and you'll have a decent budget in no time

Alright £7 over budget, but smashes the volume requirement.

I had one of those at my old place and it was great. Only problem is that it took ages to heat up in the morning so make sure who ever is in first puts it on straight away or go for a timer potentially?

Work will only buy to outfit the canteen. Our kettle is in the welding bay in the machine shop hidden away from prying eyes.
