We have a Hamilton Beach (Proctor Silex, Inc.) double wall insulated water heating pot with an insulated lid as well, I really like it because it has a toaster style switch to turn it on and it turns it's self off when the water starts to boil and it will boil as little as a half cup up to about 4 cups of water at a time, When I put the Kill-a-watt on and dumped in 500ml (just over 2 cups) of water it took .05KWH of electricity to heat the water to a nice boil and to trip the shut off switch, our electrical rate is 10 cents per kwh and I figured two pots of tea per day were less then $.30 per month.
