Meet the device that unlocks your hot-beverage dreams all day long.
ShareI just spent the last hour trying to find any information I could on a behavioral phenomenon I'm all too familiar with: choosing not to do an easy task merely because of a small hurdle standing in your way. After coming up empty-handed, I sat at my computer in a state of bewilderment., I thought. And then it hit me. Laziness! Although, it does occur to me that, having invested an hour on this ridiculous quest instead of getting my work done, I may just be a first-rate procrastinator.
I guess it doesn't matter. Whether I'm lazy or avoidant , it helps explain my love of this hot water pot, which holds a large two-, three-, or four-liter tank of water at a precise temperature basically forever.
My answer: Because the hot water pot is even easier, and if my experience is any measure, that tiny bump in effortlessness ends up having a major bump in usefulness. Let me give you an example. Let's say it's a cold, snowy day and you want to brew a nice hot cup of tea or maybe make yourself a mug of drip coffee. You're busy, though, because you have to finish writing an article raving about a thing that heats water. If you own a standard kettle, you would have to get up, fill the kettle with water, turn it on , and then wait a seemingly endless minute or two for the water to heat before you can move on to making the drink itself.
