Overview
A kitchen counter or a dorm shelf is where this glass kettle serves hot water for tea, coffee, ramen, oatmeal, pasta, soups and stews. The kettle lifts off its cordless base for pouring, and a built-in mesh filter is part of the spout.
Cordless pouring and single hand operation keep everyday use simple, and the cutoffs add safety. The limit is features: no temperature settings are listed, and the glass needs limescale care after use.
Who it's for
Households heating water for drinks and instant food will use the cordless base and the filter. Tea fans needing set temperatures, or a pot to hold heat, need a different kettle.
Pros and cons
- Cordless serving base
- Built-in mesh filter
- No temperature settings
- Glass needs limescale care
- Glass is fragile
Performance notes
The stainless steel heating plate and the wattage set how fast the water boils. The cutoffs end the cycle when the water boils or the kettle runs dry, and the mesh filter catches debris as you pour. Emptying the kettle after each use limits scale build up.
