Since changing my coffee making routine from drip/filter to French press, I've been boiling a lot of water on the stove. The container I use is a simple little kettle like my mom always had. Lately, though, I'm getting rather tired of having the steam flowing across my knuckles as I slowly pour the water. So, in my research for 'something different', I thought I'd ask the Great and Powerful EmpegBBS! (deep, reverent bow)
