Electric kettles for small households

If you're the only tea drinker in your house there are likely to be occasions where you'll be boiling the kettle just for yourself. It's more efficient, and quicker too, if you only boil as much water as you need, so look for a kettle that can boil a minimum of one cup, or 250ml, where possible.
