Chefman Electric Kettle 1.8L

Overview

The Chefman RJ11-17-CTI-RL is a 1.8 liter glass electric kettle with 5 preset temperatures from 160-212F, a removable tea infuser, and tri-color LED indicators. It suits anyone brewing different teas or coffee that call for specific water temperatures rather than a flat boil.

The temperature presets are the actual reason to choose this over a basic kettle, letting green tea, pour-over coffee, and full boils each get their own setting instead of guessing with a stopwatch. At least one reviewer found the unit doesn't clearly signal when it hits the target temperature and instead keeps heating past the setting, so results may vary by unit. The infuser is a genuine feature for loose-leaf tea, though one long-time owner admits they never use it despite liking the kettle overall.

• 1.8 liter glass kettle capacity
• 5 to 7 temperature presets, 160-212F
• Tri-color LED status lighting
• Removable loose-leaf tea infuser

Who it's for

Suits tea and pour-over coffee drinkers who want repeatable temperatures without a separate thermometer, and anyone replacing single-cup pod machines with something that heats a full pot. Less suited to single-person households, since more than one reviewer found the full 1.8 liter size larger than needed for one person's tea.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Seven preset temperatures span 160-212F, with tri-color LEDs marking standby, active heating, and keep-warm/steep modes so you can tell the kettle's state from across the room. The cordless base uses a 360-degree swivel connection, letting the kettle lift free for pouring while the base stays plugged in. An automatic shutoff triggers at boiling or when the tank runs dry, though at least one reviewer's unit kept heating past the selected temperature instead of holding there.
