Update: Solved! A San Diego based Coastie just bought me a cover. I'll connect with him later this week.

Thank you everyone. I have a lot on my plate right now prepping for his funeral. And this was just one thing I had to get done this week before it was too late.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this post sounds familar, it is because I posted the request two months ago here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/uscg/comments/1s2z3ch/seeking_formal_cap_advice_for_cpo_funeral/

Short version: My younger brother was a retired 20 year USCG CPO who recently died. I would like to have his cover next to his urn at his funeral. But it is missing. So I want to buy one.

However, all of the help promised has fallen through for one reason or another. The funeral is coming up very soon and still I don't have a cover. At this point I just need to buy one and the CPO pin to go with it.

I am in San Diego. Next week from May 27-31 I will be in Savannah, GA visiting a friend of mine. I get back to San Diego on Jun 02.

If there is anyone in San Diego, or Savannah who can buy me these two items at the exchange. I will pay you cash for it.

If San Diego, I will come down to the base by the airport and meet you. You tell me. I'm up in Encinitas. It's only 30 minutes away. If Savannah. I'm not familar with the area. But I'm borrowing my friend's car. So I'm sure I can figure it out.

After the funeral, I will donate it with his dress uniform to the San Diego Lucky Bag. I just had his dress uniform dry cleaned and pressed.

FYI: I've gone through everything of my brother's now. His cover is no where to be found. I did find some very really cool photos of him from his time serving on different cutters and tenders that I had never seen before. I put those on a board for the celebration-of-life event for his friends and family to see.

Thank you in advance. I will be most grateful for your help.

Sincerely,

Ron

This is regarding the May 2026 recall of the Zwilling Enfinigy 1.5L Electric Kettles as mentioned at:

• Zwilling's recall website
• The Consumer Protection Safety Commision website.
• And as discussed on my thread Our Zwelling electric kettle was just recalled - it was perfect!

I've assembled from that thread and from Consumer Reports a list of possible replacement electric kettles. These are kettles in the same class. Features of kettles in this class are:

• Cordless
• Capacity of between 1 to 1.7 liters
• Ideally with variable temperature setting
• Some pre-set temps for common uses.
• Stay warm feature
• Stainless steel interior. No plastic touching the water.
• Doublewalled insulation to make it safe to touch when hot.
• Stylish and nice to look at on the countertop

List is sorted by manufacturer website listed price. Your actual price may be less, or more. Who knows.

* E-K means "Electric Kettle"

I would like to mention that when I started the Zwilling thread, Redditors mentioned some kettle brands that I have never heard of before that look fantastic. Brands that never showed up when I searched for recommendations a few years ago. Nor I have ever seen them on store shelf. Even at the fancy kitchen stores. And when I went to CR, I didn't even know that OXO and Amazon had a kettle.

So thank you everyone for your contributions. I appreciate it. I hope others find this list helpful when seeking their Zwilling replacement. Let me know if you know of a kettle worthy of being on the list. And keep in mind that it doesn't have to be available in the U.S. I have comments from all over the planet.
