Overview
A renter, student or office worker boiling water for tea, oatmeal or soup gets a stainless steel kettle that lifts off a cordless serving base. A push of the button starts heating, and boil-dry protection and automatic shutoff guard against an empty or finished boil.
A small footprint and quick heating make it a fit for desks and shelves. The mesh filter catches debris, and the smaller capacity is the limitation for anyone serving many cups from one fill.
Who it's for
Solo drinkers and small households who boil water several times a day are the target. Families, large gatherings and anyone who prefers a dishwasher-washable kettle will find it limiting.
Pros and cons
- Compact footprint for a desk
- Cordless serving off the base
- Automatic shutoff and boil-dry protection
- Removable mesh filter included
- Hand wash only
- Small capacity for groups
- Temperature presets not described
Performance notes
A base-mounted heating system brings the water to a boil and the unit then stops, so how long it takes depends on the amount filled. Powering from the base lets the kettle pour at the table without trailing a cord. The mesh filter helps catch debris that would otherwise reach the cup.
