While I don’t support Adagio anymore after their anti-LGBTQ+ scandal with the CEO, I have to mention that I’ve had this electric kettle for 10 years now. It still works like new. That’s pretty amazing, considering it gets used every single day.
I still wish it had a temperature gauge instead of just a range, though.

I hadn’t heard about that. Now I’m glad that I only like a couple of their teas. :/
Didn’t know either and looked it up. Saw the twitter posts. Geez. I only like 1 or 2 of their teas too. I was planning on passing on them anyway since I have found 3 or 4 other places I’ve fallen in love with recently. Thanks for heads up.
@TreeGal and Kawaii433 I’m actually kind of surprised that the story didn’t really make it to Steepster. I regret not starting a thread in Discussions about it when it was happening.
I’m glad to find out about this. There are a small few Adagio teas I really like and I might have a hard time going without, but most I won’t miss in my collection once they are gone. That is definitely the sort of thing that turns me off from a company, being a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself.
I’m so relieved to see these responses, y’all… I was afraid people here knew and didn’t care.
Thanks for letting us know, I hadn’t heard about it either.
I care. <3 Thank you so much. Values over everything.
Bad that they do such a thing, I am about taking a stand so we all are treated equally. There was an old quote of “Love one another as I loved you.” Solid words.
Thank you for the heads up, Tabby! I am part of the LGBTQ community myself and was not aware of this. I had just been thinking of placing an order with Adagio and placed an order with Harney & Sons instead after hearing about this. Harney is definitely LGBTQ friendly! :)
mrmopar – Solid words for sure, friend! Thank you!
