Yep, I'm a cup at a time. Exact same model as @mrk I think. Had it about a year, no problems. I didn't buy it for energy efficiency though, I bought it for speed. I was at my mums last week and it made me realise how annoying waiting a couple of minutes for a kettle to boil is. When you've only got a minute between (virtual) meetings, a cup of boiling water in 30 seconds is very handy.

£50 I paid for ours..Don't they cost 10x the price of a normal kettle though?
5x the cost of a kettle then
it's not "cheap" for a kettle but honestly, any time I go to my mums or brothers and have to sit there watching their kettle boil for what feels like 2 weeks I end up appreciating my one-cup so much more5x the cost of a kettle then
its like 40 seconds and it's done.

I am pretty confident my kettle can boil 1 mug of water in less than 45 seconds.
I normally press down to start the boil when I weight and grind the beans, it takes about 5seconds to weigh it, and about 15 seconds to grind 17g. I am normally ready about a hair just before the kettle is done.

Those are beautiful. Particularly like the second one
depends on your water managment in your kettle. I for example used to fill it up and use it through the day so reboiling the same water over and over again until empty.
anyway, let me and mrk enjoy our special kettles ffs.
Can you write some feedback on it in few weeks of using ?

Sure, but will probably do it in the Retro game thread.
I love killing a bit of time boiling the kettle. Standing there, checking my phone, having a vape, listening to the chaos of the kids in the next room dreading going back in and breaking up whatever argument has erupted.it's not "cheap" for a kettle but honestly, any time I go to my mums or brothers and have to sit there watching their kettle boil for what feels like 2 weeks I end up appreciating my one-cup so much more
More bits for the laptop. I much prefer my Ducky board but figured I would try a Razer board seeing as I have a Razer laptop and I've always been fond of their mice. It's a lot quieter than the loud clicky Ducky and feels like it's made to a decent standard. Still think Ducky are #1 though.
I've been using Mamba mice for the best part of 12 years now so it was a shame when I realised it appears they've been discontinued. The Viper feels more or less like the same but not as high at it's highest point and the side buttons are smaller, will take a bit of getting used to but at least it is wireless again.
Sounds like a new home for me.

dad-of-five is this you ?
Dad claims he bought 'the world's most expensive milk' from Tesco
Mark Hodgkinson, from Clay Cross, Derbyshire, was shocked when he spotted a kettle priced at £1.90 at his local Tesco Express, while a six-pint bottle of milk at the store cost him £2.35.
I got some worktops and a sink.... Also getting a quartz back splash behind my hob but they cut it wrong to fit sockets so it's getting redone (and skipped!)

Oh man that is super nice! Congrats.
Edit: you definitely should have fixed those pipes tho. Minus 1 point.

When you say "fixed" I can't full hide the boiler fill loops, and I will be putting a removable boxing (coloured the same as units) over the section so it will tidy it up nicely.
I was considering I could also tile a removable section but means more effort.
Edit: a picture probably gives better context (yes my boiler is crap - probably why I opted for better future access when it's inevitably replaced... I guess I've over engineered at the cost of underdesigning in that aspect
Ps the upstand piece on the far right isn't glued in yet as it's too short before you point that out <_<. They're replacing that
