Overview
Cosori 1.7-liter glass electric kettle with a 1500W element and no plastic touching the water, aimed at households that want a larger-capacity kettle with a visible water level and quick boil times.
The borosilicate glass body and blue LED add a visual element other kettles skip, letting you watch the water heat. At 1.7 liters it holds noticeably more than compact 1-liter kettles, useful for multiple mugs of tea or coffee at once. The shutoff runs on a mechanical steam-powered system rather than electronic sensing, an older, simpler design that still works reliably by reviewer accounts.
- Borosilicate glass body
- Mechanical steam-powered auto shut-off
- Boil-dry safety protection
- Cool-touch handle with precision spout
Who it's for
Suits households making tea or coffee for more than one person at a time, and anyone who prefers glass over stainless for seeing water clarity and level. Hard-water households should expect more frequent descaling since mineral spots show up faster on glass.
Pros and cons

- No plastic contact with water
- Dual-angle lid for pouring or full cleaning
- Blue LED shows when actively heating

Frequently asked questions
Does the Cosori GK-172-CO kettle's water touch any plastic?
No, Cosori built it so no plastic parts contact the water, using glass and stainless steel instead.
How does the auto shut-off work on this kettle?
It uses a mechanical steam-powered switch that cuts power within about 30 seconds after the water reaches a full boil.
Is the Cosori 1.7L kettle hard to clean?
The wide mouth and large-angle lid are built for easy access, though hard water can leave mineral spots on the glass that need occasional descaling.
