Tea At Work

Not really unfortunate. I still recommend the IngenuiTEA over the TeaOne for one-person office use.

However, there are a variety of "alterations" to the idea of the TeaOne which are available - just not at my previously local shop.

See:

The piao personal size was on clearance at my local "high-end" food store for all of $8 :) I love it! I use it regularly at my office.

I don't know if this is something you were looking for, but the only two glass electric kettles that I know of are the Chef's Choice Electric French Press, and the Capresso H2O Glass Classic. I have the Chef's Choice at work and the other at home. I took out all the coffee press gear from the Chef's Choice, and it works fast and the pouring area has a little strainer built in, which helps me when I get ambitious and try to make a chai mix with spice ingredients. The fact that these are glass is helpful if I try to catch the water before it boils, but has little bubbles.

If you want any kind of thermometer, the Taylor digital oven thermometer can alert you when the water hits the right temperature. I don't go that far, but it was nice to have around to find out the temperature of the water from the hot spigot of the water cooler.

Everyone, thank you for your replies. I've been really busy lately so I've only been lurking, not having time to fashion any useful discussion. The thread has given me some ideas to go forward with and I appreciate everyone's input on the matter.
