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.

Beyond tea presets, the manual temperature range is what several reviewers actually use most, for pour-over coffee, cup noodles, or just getting water hot fast without babysitting a stovetop kettle. 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.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers who drink tea or coffee daily like the preset temperatures for different tea types and the manual range for pour-over coffee or cup noodles, along with the keep-warm feature. A repeated complaint is that white mineral precipitate builds up on the interior bottom with regular use, meaning more frequent descaling than some expected.
