The reason for using an external thermometer is because there is no temperature reading on the kettle, just marked positions for the rheostat.

I thought so, I just didn't want to believe it.
So, you are saying that you make tea, for example green tea needs 80C, with UNboiled water? In my book it is a No No territory. Tap water must be boiled in order to avoid stomach illnesses.
Water temperature burns tea, not the boiled water.
