I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay quite a bit.

Zojirushi water boilers. Always have hot water ready to go.

I kinda dislike the idea of it using power all the time even if it were less than what I used with a conventional one. Also I don't like the looks. But thanks for the recommendation!

Looking at those, they're less than 1kw. So either they're ridiculously slow to heat up, or they're a total waste of money to keep water hot when you're not using it.

Also, is it hot, or boiling? The former is truly horrific for tea making

Yes, no. It takes about 10-15 mins maybe to boil, and then since it's very well insulated it takes barely any energy to maintain. Probably less than if you're boiling water fresh 3-5 times a day.

It's adjustable.
