Overview
A tea drinker who wants water that never touches plastic gets a borosilicate glass body, stainless steel parts and a wide mouth in this Cosori kettle. A steam channel in the handle trips the switch once the water reaches a full boil.
Glass, stainless steel and a steam-triggered shutoff give this kettle a clean water path and a simple operating principle. The wide opening helps with filling and cleaning. Minor condensation may drip from the bottom port, and the kettle should not be tilted back during use.
Who it's for
Daily tea and coffee drinkers, plus anyone heating water for quick meals, will use the wide opening and glass body most. Households in hard water areas should plan to descale, and anyone wanting adjustable temperatures should look at a different style.
Pros and cons
- Borosilicate glass body
- No plastic contact with the water
- Wide mouth for easy cleaning
- Stainless steel filter included
- Hard water leaves marks on the stainless base
- Must not be tilted backward during use
- Water may drip from the bottom port
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Steam from boiling water travels through a channel in the handle and trips the switch, so shutoff depends on a full boil rather than a timer. Wattage drives how quickly the larger volume heats. Filling past the maximum level can push water into the steam mechanism, so the fill line matters.
