- Six temperature presets
- 360-degree swivel power base
- LED display
Who it's for
Suits someone who brews more than one type of tea or coffee and wants water heated to the temperature each one calls for rather than a default boil. Less suited to someone who wants a bare-bones boil-only kettle or a built-in daily start timer.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praised the adjustable temperature presets for matching water heat to specific teas and coffee methods, along with fast 1500-watt heating and a sturdy build, while the main complaint was the lack of a timer for scheduling an automatic morning boil.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Six presets for different teas and coffee styles
- Heats water quickly at 1500 watts
- 360-degree swivel base
- No timer for scheduling an automatic boil
- Water level less visible than a glass kettle per one reviewer
Performance notes
Six temperature presets let the kettle match water heat to green tea, French press or coffee instead of always boiling, and the 1500-watt element heats quickly according to multiple reviewers. The swivel base and stay-cool handle support pouring from any angle around the counter.
