Another simple #UX design foiled by poor execution. The "go" button fails to register a firm press, you must only lightly "tap" the button for it to work. My wife was completely confused and couldn't figure out why the kettle wasn't working.

Here is a video of how janky this is:
* First LONGPRESS fails, I have to retry
* I input the time
* I click "OK" but that fails
* I click "POWER LEVEL" which works
* and It asks me to press OK!
This could be so much simpler...
