COSORI 1

REVIEW – I consider myself pretty normal (bold, I know) and I got excited about the COSORI Kettle after the first use. I can justify the emotion if you read on. The COSORI Kettle replaced our old-tech hot pot that would surely boil water, but we don’t usually want it boiled. The COSORI Kettle has
