Our Modern Guru consulted his wife, a kettle-boiling enthusiast, for tips.
In our workplace kitchenette, a colleague filled the kettle in front of me with only enough water for herself. I had to refill it, this time adding enough for everyone to enjoy. Is this colleague’s behaviour acceptable?I ran this past my wife because she’s a kettle-boiling enthusiast. She drinks about 45 cups of tea a day, 55 if guests drop around, 75 if they stay longer than an hour.
Not being a big kettle-boiler myself, I don’t agree with my wife, though I’d never say that to her face; she swings a tea bag like nunchaku. My thinking is that leaving the kettle empty saves electricity because people only boil what they need. And it saves time because the kettle boils faster. And it saves the kettle because there’s no limescale build-up on the inside .
