Well I don’t think anyone would truly *need* water at a certain temperature and not too sure as to why you’d need a specified amount at said temp...

Having said that, I am heavily into my “posh” loose teas and certain of those are better at certain temperatures..

Black tea needs the water to be fully boiling 100c - but some more delicate teas, such as some green and white teas etc, are better at 80c or they go bitter/burnt as well other variations.

Plus they do say as above that boiling water isn’t good for coffee with it..

However you don’t really a specialist appliance for it and you can get much cheaper kettles with the feature - plus I dare say a lot of people wouldn’t care about the subtleties anyway!

Hmm, I never thought about it ... Especially in the morning, when there is no time to observe all the subtleties and wait for the water in the kettle to stop boiling. I didn't know about loose teas either... You gave me a lot to learn!

Hi Betth!

Well I’ve probably just confused you, but thanks!
If you enjoy loose leaf tea, you’ll have to experiment with the “correct” temperatures and see if you can taste any difference!
