The car kettle in its various shapes and sizes only occupies a small piece of the overall kettle market pie but in my mind, a car kettle is one of the nicest additions to your car. Additionally the car kettle is as vital a piece of equipment to the traveller as an ordnance survey map (in my view!)
Car kettles are perfect for people who go hiking, backpacking, camping and all round travelling. If you have a car and you enjoy some outward bounds experience, a car kettle is highly recommended. You never have to be too far away from a thirst- quenching cup of tea. Picture this… you have been hiking for the best part of the day and return to your car thoroughly exhausted. The thought of a long drive home now does not exactly fill you with excitement and there isn’t a café anywhere for miles. There’s nothing for it but to soldier on and put all thoughts of refreshment out of your mind. Sounds rather miserable, doesn’t it?

But imagine this, in a parallel universe you have returned to your car from an enormous hike and before the long drive home, you remove your car kettle from its hidey hole, fill it with water and plug it into your cigarette lighter socket. Reach for a teabag and plonk it into your cup in anticipation. In a couple of seconds the hot water boils and you are able to avail yourself of a delicious refreshing cup of tea – the perfect beverage before hitting the road home.
There are one or two car kettles on the market for around the twenty pounds mark (which in my mind is a small price to pay for sheer unadulterated luxury!) Look out for the compact 12 v ‘Car Kettle To Go’ from a number of retailers at under £19. It features a water gauge, two drinking cups and is particularly popular for use in trucks, cars and caravans.
Ideal for boating trips, camping and journeying in general, the car kettle from Carpoint effortlessly serves four cups of heated drinks and serves the purpose as a food warmer for baby foods too. Save money when travelling by making your own hot drinks instead of getting them from the ever-extortionate service station cafes.
