Overview
Lotus's Professional Series kettle holds 1.5 liters and runs at 1500 watts, with one-touch presets for green, white, oolong, and black or herbal tea plus a manual mode covering 95 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, all in a stainless steel body.
The double-wall carafe is meant to keep the outside cooler to the touch while holding the water's temperature, and a keep-warm function holds heat for up to an hour. One recurring complaint is mineral buildup showing up on the interior bottom after regular use.
- 1.5 liter double-wall stainless carafe
- 95 to 212 F manual temperature range
- Four tea presets plus manual mode
- 1 hour keep-warm function
Who it's for
Fits someone who drinks enough tea or coffee to care about brew temperature and wants presets rather than guessing, or anyone replacing a basic kettle with something that holds heat for a while after boiling. Less useful for someone who just wants a fast, no-frills boil.
Pros and cons
- One-touch presets tuned to different tea types
- Manual mode covers a wide temperature range for coffee too
- Keep-warm function holds heat up to an hour
- Removable lid with wide opening simplifies cleaning
- White mineral buildup on the interior bottom reported after regular use
- Costs more than a basic electric kettle
Performance notes
The 1500-watt element heats quickly, and the manual mode spans 95 to 212 F for tasks beyond tea, from cocoa to pour-over coffee. The keep-warm function holds temperature for up to an hour so multiple cups can be made without reheating, and the lid has a built-in mesh filter with a wide opening for cleaning.
