I'm a tea drinker and have been looking for a good pot that's easy to clean for ages. I have hard water, which leaves a lot of residue behind. And I would like to avoid chinese manufacturing. Currently I just boil water in a small sauce pot on the stove, which doesn't have the ability to stop heating at certain temps needed for certain loose leaf teas.
Am using a Philips kettle for over a decade and have no plans is stopping. Of course that means nobody will ever buy another so the model is not available anymore. I would still suggest, though.
Hard water is easy enough to deal with. Just use a Britta filter, I live in London and our water is very hard. I've only had to descale my kettle once in the last 4 years since I bought it, which was a mystery until I realized my girlfriend was making tea using tap water.
My kettle is just a 0-100 kind, so in order to do 80-85C for my morning coffee, I use my meat thermometer with the alarm set on 76C. By the time I flick the kettle off and the energy finishes dissipating into the water, it'll be ~82C. YMMV
I have hard water as well and like this one: https://a.co/d/7C7OYlR which I've used for last 10 months so far; fairly easy to clean the bottom where residue tries to build up
I only use it for boiling though; I use this pot for brewing: https://a.co/d/fTXsavt
