Hot tea for my English wife, iced tea for me - we use ours heavily, too.

My son is going off to college this fall, and I'm wondering what the state 
of dorm room kitchen tech is these days. I started off with a hot pot that 
made hot water for soup and instant espresso but could double as a 
soup/ramen/broth heater, don't know if nowadays that's passe and everyone 
goes straight to microwave ovens.

It wasn't long before I got a Braun Aromaster coffee maker and relied on my 
tea drinking neighbor for his 3 quart electric vacuum pot for water. He 
drank tea constantly and always had it going.
