Of course, a kettle is the most basic solution when it comes to tea and coffee making facilities. The typical kettle holds 1.7 litres, and so boils enough water for approximately six hot drinks. That means it isn’t a convenient solution if your tea rounds include more than six people.

If you do purchase a kettle for your office, make sure to choose one with a high wattage. The more power it has, the faster it should boil your water — that means staff waste less time waiting around in the kitchen! Any kettle with 3kW or more is generally classed as rapid boil.
