I had an iron, and one of the cute water kettles and a Mr Coffee - I used it with a chemex and a classic teapot because I liked tea and didn’t want it coffee flavored =) I made soups and stews in the kettle, hot water for instant anything in the mr coffee, and I used the iron as a griddle - grill cheese sandwiches by buttering both sides of the bread, cheese in the middle and wrap it in foil, and lay the iron on top of it, using a heavy folded towel as the base.
