Now we just buy a new kettle every few months when the old one dies.

few months, it was meant for domestic use not for 20 people!

Sounds like you need two kettles.

One kettle does the job. But because it's being boiled several times an
hour rather than several times a day it doesn't last as long as it would
in an ordinary home.
