Utilitea Kettle by Ami Kealoha

For true tea connoisseurs, heating water to the proper temperature is key—too hot and the taste and health benefits of greens, whites and herbals are destroyed. Adagio, the company that introduced the automatic tea maker, has a solution with the new cordless Utilitea kettle featuring a variable temperature control.

Much like other electric kettles, the Utilitea has a stainless steel canister and heats up to four cups of water in a matter of a few minutes. The difference is the color-coded dial that selects a temperature suitable to the type of tea you're brewing. Pick it up from Adagio for $49.

Toaster Challenge
The household toaster serves a simple purpose, but some models do it better than others. At CH we take this responsibility very seriously, and in hopes of separating the best from the average, we recently pitted four models from different manufacturers in a head-to-heat toast-off and recorded our highly subjective results. The toasters we used were the Alessi SG68, Viking VT200, Breville Smart Toaster BTA820XL...
Drop Stop Tea Strainer
A great solution to the age-old problem of where to put the tea bag or strainer after steeping tea, the Drop Stop Tea Strainer is the a clever all-in-one solution.
