now, I'm not a sophisticated gal, completely low maintenance and as such I am completely happy with a cup of instant coffee. I will usually opt for a Kenyan or Colombian type but again, I'm not that fussy however what I do insist on is the temperature of the water that I pour on my granules.
I propose
a kettle that can switch from tea to coffee optimum temperatures. Tea is best brewed using boiling water which is 100 deg. centigrade whereas a cup of coffee is best made with hot water about the 96 deg. centigrade mark. Can't be too hard to develop a kettle that switches off at those temperatures.
Not entirely unbaked (or unboiled)

These tips for brewing green tea (which usually uses water at a lower than boiling temperature) could be adopted for instant coffee easily enough. [zen_tom, Sep 20 2017]

I am sorry to say that instant coffee is just wrong!! It's a
sweet idea for a halfbaked kettle, but must use it for
something else! Oatmeal?? |
|
| |
not keen [xandram] tbh, I prefer instant to anything else but I do buy a nice brand like Kenco, if advertising is allowed... |

thanks [h]. must admit I didn't search. |

One problem with this is that heated water tends to stratify, so only part of your water will be at 96°C at any one time. Once it boils, of course, the bubbling mixes it up. |
|

A better bet is to buy a ruler. If you hold the kettle a suitable distance above your mug, the boiled water will be at 96°C by the time it reaches the coffee. |

My TFal kettle <link> has 3 positions: Useless, really hot,
boiling. Really hot works well for coffee, boiling is good for
tea. |

After a quick look on amazon for instant coffee... cripes. It's
not that expensive in England. |

Exactly. It says 'tea' on the side of the packet, but
they're just bulking it out with crushed insects and
hoping consumers don't notice |

Indeed - that's why their sausages are so tasty |
