number five Hamilton Beach electric tea kettle we recommend the Hamilton Beach for zero eight eight zero stainless steel 1.7 liter Kettle for anyone who wants an affordable basic model that quickly brings water to a boil this Kettle lacks the bells and whistles of our other picks it doesn’t have preset temperature controls or a keep warm setting but it does have all the other features we look for in a decent kettle most importantly perhaps its handle is easy to hold and the spot doesn’t drip when pouring we were impressed with this Kettle speed which was on a par with that of the Cuisinart cpk-17 in boiling time this Hamilton Beach model is simple to operate you flick the tab on the base of the handle up and the kettle begins heating the water a red light on the base illuminates once the boiling cycle begins so you always know that it’s on CE the water reaches a rolling boil the kettle automatically shuts off so you don’t have to worry about turning it off manually that said since the Hamilton Beach 40880 doesn’t have an audible alert it’s possible the water will start to cool before you’ve even realized it boiled especially if you’re not in the room when it does so

number three Breville One Touch tea maker this recommendation comes courtesy of a strategist story written a couple of years ago by contributor David Schwartz a recommendation that when I checked in with him all this time later still holds up he’s been a regular tea drinker his whole life but the ritual changed for the better when he received this undeniably high-end electric kettle as a gift it’ll cost you a pretty penny but it very well might be worth the investment it Brews tea at custom temperatures depending on leaf type and flavor strength Schwartz rights but what differentiates this from less expensive Alternatives is something that almost all run-of-the-mill coffee makers do it Brews automatically at any time of day without you having to do anything but pour in the tea the breville’s piece to resistance is a metal mesh basket that robotically dunks loose leaves in boiled water for the exact steeping time and then removes them resting above the water surface to prevent too bitter bruise or totally weak sauce
number two KitchenAid electric kettle recipe developer and content creator solar El Whaley says this electric kettle looks enough like a stovetop model but one morning her mom whom she gifted one to was so sleepy she literally put it on a burner and ruined it luckily Elway has never done the same with her own in the six years she’s owned it but she does appreciate its old-timey retro Vibes along with its no bells and whistles functionality while that means you can’t see the water level and there’s no temperature control it perfectly suits Elway’s main needs making tea she’s not fussy about exacting degrees and using a bit of boiling water for cooking whether deglazing a pan finishing off undercooked rice or giving a head start to water for potatoes or pasta
number one Cuisinart cpk17p1t kettle the Cuisinart cpk17p1 perfect temp cordless electric kettle has been our top pick since 2013 because of its consistent performance and easy to use interface in our tests we found very little variation in the amount of time it took to bring a full kettle of water 1.7 L to a boil about 7 minutes on average we were also impressed with this kettle’s accuracy in holding water at a set temperature it has six preset temperature choices each with a dedicated button plus a keep warm function which holds water at the set temperature for 30 minutes the three-year warranty is also quite generous compared with those of similarly priced electric kettles we’ve looked at if the Breville isn’t worth the investment to you shackett recommends this Cuisinart model with preset temperatures for different types of Teas it has a full boil button for black tea a 190 degree button for oolong a 185 button for white a 175 button for green and a 160 button for delicatees not to mention a French press setting there’s also a keep warm setting unlike with some of the bigger models that automatically shut off and cool down once they’re done boiling
