Bought a cheap travel kettle for my trip to Edinburgh and it was a total waste
I spent about 15 pounds on a small kettle from a discount store before my trip, thinking it would save money on tea and coffee. The thing was so weak it took forever to boil a cup of water in my hotel room. Ended up just using the lobby coffee machine most mornings, which was free anyway. Anyone have a better small item that actually saves cash on the road?

Used to pack a kettle too, but honestly, what changed your mind? I mean, it just ends up being dead weight in your bag.

That "save money on tea and coffee" idea is the real trap. You end up buying gear for a trip you could just enjoy. I always skip the kettle and find a local cafe instead, which feels more like the trip.

Lol my buddy bought a whole travel kettle setup for a road trip. @pat_schmidt71 is right, he used it once and then just hit up gas station coffee the rest of the week. Total waste.
