I used to have a fancy stove-top tea kettle with a sort of train whistle sound. But we discovered that an electric kettle boils the water twice as fast. It is quite satisfactory.
P.S.: I don't know what "state-of-the-art" means in this context.
@EarthlingWise Our electric water boiler doesn't have a timer. It is smart enough to turn off once it reaches a rolling boil. And there are blue LEDs that come on when it's heating; not much of a special effect.
I just have this basic electric turkish coffe pot. Used to have a sophisticated coffee maker which I didn't use much because I only like to drink plain Turkish coffee and if not available then just black coffee..
And i am thinking of buying the even more basic version of just a turkish coffee pot that I used my entire life.. because Turkish coffee would be tastier in that one as it will take longer to boil and call me crazy but it does give it a special taste.. I miss waiting by it to boil..This pot was good when I wanted to avoid the kitchen.. now I feel no need for it.

i'm American, so pot on the stove. stove top kettles are hard to clean and electric kettles don't get very hot here
I am not sure how a kettle, be it electric or for use on a hob, can be "state of the art" but I do think kettle and teapot designers have lost the art of designing spouts that pour cleanly!
(I have both a hob kettle, used mainly for heating the washing-up water, and an electric jug pattern kettle.)
