As a true Brit, France can't complete his morning routine without a kettle, and the Bosch DesignLine 1.7 Litre Kettle ($44) is his favorite. He loves that this kettle takes about a minute to two minutes to boil water. When asked to convince us why we should use a kettle over a microwave or a pot of boiling water, he responded with a stern, "okay, eww microwave, no," immediately shutting it down as an option. France is not a fan of coffee machines and prefers a percolator or a cafetière. His coffee routine is simple and efficient. "I like to boil the kettle, it takes me a minute, fill my cafetière or percolator, and then my coffee is ready in about five or six minutes, and it's a gorgeous coffee," he says. His go-to tea is PG Tips, and his coffee of choice is the Starbucks house blend or Starbucks Pike Place.
Pro Tip: France pointed out that boiling water in a pot is more time-consuming. If you're an avid tea or coffee drinker, investing in a kettle is an efficient gadget that will deliver the water you need at the right temperature in just a few minutes. "We're not wasting any time with a pot," he explains. The Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle ($195) is a stylish option available in the US. It's an editor favorite as well; read our in-depth review of the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle.
