What is it with almost all temperature-controlled kettles being so expensive? A temperature sensor and PCB don't cost anywhere near that much, and that's the only meaningful difference with a non-temperature-controlled kettle...
@joepie91 I'm guessing they're not expensive if you look at e.g chinese sites, but the imported ones are because they're not sold as much, so keeping stock of them is expensive (and there's brands like philips that just loves charging you hundreds of euros for simple variations on heating appliances)
@anthropy The thing is that Blokker, prior to their demise, had a temperature-controlled kettle at basically the same price as a normal kettle would be, as a standard part of their offerings (they sold it for years). So clearly it's financially possible.
As far as I can tell, it seems to just be "oh you like tea, then you must surely be willing to pay a massive markup for this feature" and nothing else...
