"If everyone boiled only the water they needed to make a cup of tea instead of 'filling' the kettle every time, we could save enough electricity to run practically all the street lighting in the U.K."

Nobody can deny that in Britain we love our tea. Each year a staggering 229 million cups of tea and coffee are drank every day which means enough water is boiled to fill 22 Olympic sized swimming pools.

However, that is unfortunately not the case, as most people when they 'put the kettle on' tend to fill it with more water than they actually need. And even if we try and put just enough water in the kettle for our cuppa, it will either still be too much or worse still not enough, meaning we have to refill the kettle and boil it again.

The eco kettle, whist holding up to a litre and a half of water will only heat the amount of water required, from one cup to the whole lot.

The new version of the already popular Eco Kettle is the ECO3 which is now optimised for the perfect temperature, delivering hot water at 80°c for speciality teas, 90° for coffee and 100° boiling for regular tea.

The eco-kettle can save a third of the energy every time we turn the kettle on. Not only does this mean the kettle will boil quicker and we get our tea sooner but we can make quite dramatic savings on our electricity bills.
