A water kettle. Doesn't have to be any fancy one, but it really fucking rocks for anything you might think of : want hot water for tea? No problem. Need hot water to steep something? No problem.

Most mid-range ones are insanely power efficient too, often being alot better than just boiling water on a stovetop, or using a microwave. And, depending on insulation, heat can be stored for over 6! hours.

What home doesn't have a kettle? I don't think I've ever been to someones house who didn't have one. Who are these degenerates that were boiling all their water in saucepans?

Depends where you live, Technology Connections did a few episodes on kettles because apparently they're not super common in his neck of the woods.
