Breville Variable Temperature Kettle BKE820
A gadget to go with last week’s Penguin Tea Timer (Episode 942), and a recommendation from Alex Lindsay. The Breville Variable Temperature Kettle BKE820XL has different temperature settings for different kinds of tea or beverage you want to make: green tea 80°C, white tea 85°C, oolong 90°C, French press coffee 93°C, black tea/boil 100°C. A “Hold Temp” button keeps the temperature for 20 minutes for the second cup. 1.8 litre capacity.
DVD Rewinder
The base of the Breville Kettle reminds Dick of the DVD Rewinder, which a listener wrote in about in Episode 172.

A Breville Bonus
Leo also recommends a Breville toaster, which from his description sounds like the Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster. It has a “Lift and Look” function that gently raises the toast to let you see if it’s done yet, and an “A Bit More” button for a little more browning. The Bagel setting only toasts the inside. There is also a 4-Slice version.

Sonos
Another letter from the PR profession. Karm Lineman thanks Dick for covering the Sansa Clip Plus (Episode 911), and is sending Leo a review unit of the Sonos ZonePlayer S5, a distributed music system and an alternative to Leo’s earlier Eos Wireless Speaker System in Episode 887, in which Leo himself mentioned the Sonos music systems.
