I finished my Christmas shopping really early, but I’ve been making up for it by buying lots of stuff for myself. The latest thing I want to buy is a water pot heater thingy with temperature controls. A couple of days ago, I was browsing online, and I came across an American tea supply company that was all proud because it had just released a semi-working electric kettle that would heat water to different temperatures for different types of tea. I was tempted to get it until I remembered that I could get a perfectly working Japanese one from Daiei for much cheaper. 😀
