Breville Silver Filter Kettle

[livejournal.com profile] miss_t_ide bought a Breville Silver Filter JK120 kettle. Our old one dribbled a lot but this one pours very nicely.

However, when standing on the base but switched off the kettle is illuminated by a blue light. The manual says:
the illumination of this kettle is achieved by using LED's. The amount of energy used for this is very small, a fraction of what is used by a light bulb.
Maybe, but when I want to illuminate not only the kitchen and the hall, but the wall halfway up the stairs as well
I don't immediately think "Ah, I'll turn the kettle on".

I really want to take this environmentally unfriendly kettle/lamp back but I don't think [livejournal.com profile] miss_t_ide would be happy without a kettle that only pours water into the cup.

Dam' straight! I'm sick of pouring boiling water all over the work surfaces, the washing machine and the cooker!
