Whistling Kettle

In the old days, before the electric kettles were introduced, a heavy metal kettle was used to boil the water for tea or coffee. When the water reached boiling point, the pressure was released through the funnel, making a whistling sound as the vapors came out of the funnel. The whistling sound was so popular with the tea drinkers that the kettle was called a whistling kettle.

These kettles were made of metals such as steel, aluminum and copper. These were to be placed directly on the stove and the whistle served the purpose of an alarm to indicate that the water is boiled.

Coffee Filters Make a Difference

Lately I’ve been noticing my coffee hasn’t been tasting quite right. I don’t have any first hand experience with the taste of cardboard, but I suspect it’s just like my coffee had been tasting.

I cleaned my coffee maker with vinegar and water but that didn’t help. I was also suspicious about the new coffee filters we had purchased recently, so I went out and bought some of the kind we usually bought. Sure enough that was it, sure, they only cost a third of what we normally pay for premium paper filters but what they did to the taste of my coffee should be outlawed.
