UK households who have kettle urged to remove it from kitchen

UK households who have a kettle can be handed money back from their energy firm - in the form of savings - thanks to a kitchen addition. One homeowner says they reduced energy bills by switching a kettle to a £30 device that boils water in 30 seconds.

The Mirror's Lucy Addicott reports: "I made the savvy decision to replace my old-school kettle with the Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser, and it's been a game-changer. I snagged mine for £47.99, but right now, Amazon is offering a deal where you can get your hands on one for £30 in a 37% off discount.

"This nifty kitchen device functions like a kettle but with some clever tweaks that help me save cash every time I'm in the mood for a cuppa. Rather than boiling a full kettle's worth of water, the Breville HotCup dispenses 250ml of boiling water at a time just the right amount for a tea.

"Breville boasts that it's 60% more cost-effective than a traditional kettle. Although I haven't crunched the numbers to verify this exact figure, I've definitely noticed a reduction in my energy bill." The Breville HotCup dispenses a 250ml cup size of boiling water even quicker than a kettle, so you can enjoy hot drinks without the wait (250ml of water is dispensed per use, no more or less).

The 1.5L tank holds enough water for 5-7 cups; ideal for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, noodles and more. 360 degree base for left and right-hand use. The push-button lid release makes filling easy; fill at the tap just like a kettle, or using a jug; boils a single cup at a time for energy-efficient, economical use.

The large water window illuminates blue in boil mode, while the sleek black design with polished stainless steel trim complements any kitchen and removable drip tray, permanent limescale filter and stainless steel finish simplify the cleaning process; regular descaling is required to maintain.
