At one point many years ago, there was an fad for a “hot shot” small appliances. I guess it’s a similar functionality to a kettle but with more moving parts. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared though.

Holy crap, they still exist!

I have one too! It's super old but works amazingly for small things like individual cups of tea or hot chocolate for the kids. Got it as a white elephant gift that someone thought was a joke. I was super excited to get it. We have several kettles too.

Wow, exactly as I remember it … from decades ago!

My mom still uses hers. It’s great.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

So does my mom, but hers is really ancient.

I used to like them but since I got the kettle, I prefer

  • more convenience for multiple cups or for ramen, more flexibility
  • no plastic to drink
  • fewer moving parts
  • easier to empty, dry, put away
  • it looks cooler
