Team boiling hot water tap or kettle?

Em B

We are renovating our 1970s house https://instagram.com/the_chester_nester_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
and just finalising our kitchen units, appliances etc.
We had a boiling hot water tap (grohe) in our previous house with no problems but have been using a good old kettle for the past year whilst renovating. For a high ticket item boiling taps in general do not have great reviews and if it were any other purchase I wouldn’t be considering. Is it really so bad to have a kettle out on the work surface? Anyone seen any design led electric kettles worth considering? Or is this a step backwards ? Team BHWT or kettle?

    I'm not a fan of things out on worktops.  I like clear sight lines.  But a kettle is a must for me.  I can't imagine a life without saying 'put the kettle on'.  We are in the middle of a kitchen extension and will be having a normal tap and have sited a socket where we want our kettle....just shop around for a nice design and spend the saved money on a new set of teacups.
