What it does

  • 1 L capacity
  • Digital controls
  • 304 stainless steel
  • Matte black

Who it suits

  • tea at the right temperature, where the model has presets
  • quick hot water for pour-over, French press or instant drinks

Who should skip it

  • anyone who wants a gooseneck's pour control for pour-over, because a wide spout is harder to pour slowly
  • anyone who needs the lowest price, since a basic kettle without presets boils just as well

The thing worth knowing

Delicate green and white teas are usually brewed below boiling, and black and herbal teas at or near boiling. Presets save guessing, and a body and lid that stay cool to the touch are worth checking for.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
