Three years ago I bought @juliette an electric kettle for her birthday (because romance is not dead).
Looking for a stainless tank, hidden heating element, and temperature settings, I found the Krups KE07. Bit expensive, but it'll last decades. Right? Button 1 broke after a year. Button 2 today..
Thread in three parts
1. How it broke
2. Why I think you should not buy a Krups / Tefal appliance
3. How to fix it with a 3D printed part

I'll start by saying this entire situation is pissing me off to a great extent.
When you make an effort to buy something rocking the "made to last" vibe you kinda expect basic functionality like buttons use the 100 years old technology of functional button design.
Like, humanity has actually mastered the skill of "affordable clicky button in consumer electronics device which only has to last a couple 100.000 times".
Unfortunately in this device they decided to go with a shit solution.
