Travel Fashion Girl help! A reader question from the TFG Facebook Group :

What are your recommendations for the best travel tea kettle ? It sounds ridiculous to some, I’m sure. However, my husband likes to have a few cups of coffee every day while we travel. Most hotel rooms only have a coffee maker, so I’m always stuck with tea that tastes like coffee or no tea at all.

When on vacation, you need your hot morning drink just as much as when you are at home. But when traveling, you don’t always have access to your essential kitchen utilities, such as coffee makers and electric kettles.

So, what do you do? Portable kettles or even an immersion water boiler can be tucked into your suitcase and used in your accommodation.

Our readers share their tips on how to make a cup of tea or coffee when abroad with their recommendations for the best travel kettle you can take with you anywhere!

It’s now a travel necessity for me. Well worth the price.”

DREAMOSA 350 ML Small Electric Travel Kettle

DREAMOSA Portable Electric Tea Kettle

Looks like a thermos, but it’s really the smallest electric kettle travel has likely seen! Joking aside, the DREAMOSA  would fit nicely into a suitcase and works well for solo travelers at 350 ml.

Built durable, it’s waterproof, has a non-slip bottom, and doesn’t keel over when on top of surfaces. It’s also doubly insulated so not hot to the touch (but still, always be cautious!). With a one-button switch and auto-shutoff, it’s super easy to operate.

One travel veteran sounds in, “I’m a flight attendant and constantly need hot water (tea, coffee, soup, etc.) on my overnights and sometimes between flights. It fits in my lunch bag or suitcase with no issue. It’s about the size of a coffee grinder or thermos bottle. It gets the water hot enough pretty quick, has an auto shut off, and even a delay before you can use it again that way it doesn’t overheat.”

BonNoces 0.5L Travel Kettle Electric

This reviewer is happy with their pick, “I got this for traveling, and so far, have used it only as a kettle, not to drink from. Have used it on two domestic trips. Safer than an immersion heater, and I don’t need to worry about having a compatible mug. I found it was fine to make one cup of coffee using a collapsible cone, but not enough for two. That’s good enough for most of my usage. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it brought water to a boil—faster than the six minutes stated on the insert.”

Bonus: This travel electric kettle stainless steel model is resistant to corrosion or oxidation too!

The Best One Cup Water Heater /Kettle for Road Travel

Zerodis 1L Portable Water Boiler For Tea /Coffee

Zerodis Portable Hot Water Kettle

This Zerodis traveling kettle has a 1-liter capacity and is made of top-grade plastic which is temperature resistant. Simply plug it into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle and it’ll take up to 30 minutes to heat, but also has an automatic shut-off function.

While that sounds like a long time, if you’re driving or stopping for a roadside picnic, time may be all you have!

A road trip enthusiast shares their experience, “Easy coffee, tea, cocoa, and instant camping meals, ramen, etc. It helped so much when we were on a winter road trip, it got down to -6℉ and it only took 30 minutes to heat up, to a boil. It was a lifesaver over and over again!”

The same user offers a tip too! “Just FYI, any 12V plug takes a while to heat up compared to a household plug that uses 1500 watts! It’s definitely worth the value.”

Spardar 12V-350ML Car Travel Hot Water Maker

This Spadar device is essentially like a large cup that boils water while you’re in transit or having a pit stop during a road trip.

You can set the temperature and have it stay hot. It’s enough for an individual serving on the go.”

The Best Travel Immersion Heater

Another top reader suggestion is taking portable water boilers for tea and coffee that are smaller and even easier to carry. One reader says, “You can get a small immersion heater that boils water in a cup or mug. I took one of them all around Europe. I did take a metal mug, but it works fine in a ceramic one, too.”

NEWVANGA International Universal All in One Travel Adapter

How To Use Your Portable Electric Water Kettle Abroad

Make sure you have a travel adapter when using a mini tea kettle travel sized accessory , which enables you to plug your electronics into international outlets. Not all countries use the same type of plug, so use an international adapter like this one .

One reader says, “This adapter is AH-mazing! Very sturdy and durable. This is the only adapter that you will need! It works everywhere!” Another adds, “This is perfect for using with any of your devices while abroad.”

Note: this travel adapter can only be used with dual voltage kettles and other devices.

Why Be Aware When Using a Travel Size Electric Tea Kettle?

Most electrical appliances can use up a fair amount of electricity so it’s particularly important that they are used with the correct voltage. 

For example, in the US we use 110-120V whereas in Europe they use 220-240V. If we plug our electronics into each other’s outlets, they can blow a fuse and stop working. In some cases, they can even fry your hair. The video below can also shed light on adapters, converters, and the right voltage:

Learn about travel adapters, converters, and voltage in this video !

It’s important to understand that an adaptor and converter are NOT the same things. An adapter fits the outlets and a converter changes the electrical current so your electronics don’t blow a fuse!

To make sure you feel confident using your travel teapot electric appliance, read our quick guide on Travel Adapters, Converter, and Voltage !

Completely plan to grab one of these for my Vegas conference next year – there’s not in room coffee at the casinos!

I was just at an inn and needed one of these! I didn’t know such small and lightweight electric teakettles existed. Thank you for this information!

I love my home electric kettle. Knowing which smaller travel version to purchase is very helpful for planning my upcoming road trip. Merci!

my husband LOVES tea. he was going to bring our kettle on his last trip, but decided to leave it home instead. one of these portable kettles would be the perfect gift for him, especially a collapsible one.

So happy I read this post! Going with GF’s to see Rod Stewart in Vegas this November. I really like my coffee in bed in the morning and want to bring a electric kettle with me for the convenience. One of these will work perfectly for this situation! Thanks!

Oh, I love this idea. I already take individual packets of matcha tea and collagen, but often have a hard time making clean hot water (using a used coffee maker is not the vibe).

Given that my travelling has been limited to the US and staying in hotels or with family, I really hadn’t thought much about being able to have my morning coffee and evening tea when I’m not at home. This article has lots of great ideas that I will be incorporating as I prepare for a trip overseas in a couple of years.

So many options! Looking forward to fresh hot coffee on the road.

I purchased the Loutytuo kettle as recommended by another TFG reader. I loved it so much and used it more often than I expected. I even purchased one for my granddaughter who is at university to take with her on long days at the lab and library. She make Ramen as well as hot tea! Go figure! ♥️

Yes!! I love this! I have started traveling with an immersion coil heater (I stick it right in my toiletries bag) and a plastic baggie of tea bags and instant coffee. Sometimes I just need that little comfort of home while I’m traveling.

Along with your electric kettle, remember to get good travel insurance to protect you from unforeseen eventualities in your adventures.

1. Breville IQ Kettle: Our Top Pick

If you prefer a kettle with the same features — more or less — as the Bodum Bistro Electric Water Kettle above but with a bigger capacity, we recommend the Breville IQ Kettle. It can hold up to 1.7 liters of liquid and heat water to 5 different temperatures.

It has all the basic features, including a cordless design, an auto shut-off feature, and even an LED indicator.

It weighs 1.3 pounds and has a silicone and stainless-steel body. At a capacity of 0.5 liters, it can boil water in just 3 minutes. It has a collapsible design, a dual voltage switch, and a detachable power cord.

Best Electric Kettle for Travel to Buy This Year: Buyer’s Guide

As an avid tea or coffee drinker, an electric travel kettle can save you time, money, and hassle on the road.

A hot beverage can also soothe the stress of booking return flights during your trip abroad. 

However, not all electric travel kettles are the same.

Use these factors to choose the ideal electric travel kettle for your needs. 

Capacity refers to how much water the kettle can hold and boil at once, determining the number of cups of tea or coffee you can make in a single boil.

The ideal capacity will depend on your situation – whether you travel solo or as a group. 

Weight and Size

Weight and size are also essential considerations when buying an electric travel kettle, especially if you have limited space or luggage allowance. You want a kettle that is easy to store and carry. 

Some electric travel kettles have a foldable or collapsible design that reduces their size by up to 50%.

These kettles are ideal for backpackers, hikers, or campers who need to save space and weight in their bags. 

The wattage determines how fast the kettle can boil water. Wattage also affects voltage, which may impact your ability to use the kettle when traveling.

For instance, most European countries use 220V outlets, while we use 110V in the States. 

If you don’t want to use a converter or adapter, choose an electric travel kettle that has a dual voltage switch so you can change the voltage according to the country you are in. 

Additional Features

Some electric travel kettles have extra features that make them more versatile and easier to use.

These include:

• Auto Shut-Off Feature . This feature automatically switches off the kettle when the water reaches a boiling point, or there is no water. 
• Temperature Control Function: It lets you set the desired temperature for your water, depending on the type of drink or food you want to make. 
• Keep Warm Function : This maintains the selected temperature for a certain period, usually between 20 minutes and 2 hours. 
• LED indicator : It shows the status of the kettle, such as whether it is on, off, boiling, or ready. 
• Removable Filter: This traps impurities or scale in the water and can be removed for cleaning.

The Perfect Travel Pals for Your Next Adventure

An electric travel kettle can be a lifesaver for travelers who love hot beverages or instant meals. Use this guide to find the best electric kettle for travel. All these travel kettles are easy to pack and use in a hotel, hostel, campsite, or the car.

The 10 Best Electric Travel Kettles (2023)

Passionate about your coffee or tea and looking for the best travel kettle for your next trip? For travelers who recharge with a good cup of tea or prefer to bring their french press for quality coffee on their next trip, a good electric travel kettle is the perfect companion. In the below list, we provide the best portable electric kettles to take on the road or in your luggage while not sacrificing much space or features.

Why do you need a travel tea kettle?

Clearly, a portable tea kettle is not a travel essential for everyone. It is only necessary for frequent travelers who prefer a convenient and hygienic way to boil water for their morning cup of tea. Depending on your travel habits, you may find a small electric kettle in the hotel rooms that you stay in. However, in some regions or hotel brands, it’s more common to find a coffee maker but no kettle, which limits the ability to make hot enough water for a proper cup of tea.

Tea enthusiasts can often find from time to time that previous guests may have misused hotel rooms that may have an electric water kettle. Such as a residue left from instant noodles that had been cooked in a stainless steel kettle by previous hotel guests can ultimately add a starchy taste to your tea.

A portable electric kettle can also add flexibility to travelers that prefer to cook their own food with limited in-room amenities while traveling. With fast boil times, those who like to get creative with in-room cooking, such as when you boil eggs, make instant noodles, and reheating of food, will find that a mini travel kettle is an excellent choice for saving money while traveling or sticking to a specific diet on the road.

For a list of the most important features,  click here to skip to the key feature list.

The Ten Best Portable Travel Kettles

Loutytuo Collapsable Electric Travel Kettle

One of the best electric kettles available in terms of important features, the Loutytuo Collapsable Electric Travel Kettle is made of BPA free food grade silicone and won’t take up much space due to its compact design once folded. As a dual voltage travel kettle, the Louytuo offers six different pre-set temperature settings. This variety makes it a good choice for those looking to use it as a regular kettle to bring water to a rolling boil or for specific temperatures for cooking food or steeping fine teas.

In addition, with a 555 ml or 18.7 oz capacity, the design as a foldable electric kettle is a good choice for those looking to save space. Beyond its size, the Loutytuo also offers essential features such as a detachable cord, auto shutoff, and safety controls like a boil-dry protection feature to shut it off if there is no liquid in the kettle.

Balbali Portable Tea Kettle

Doubling as a thermos, the Balbali Portable Tea Kettle offers an alternative to the collapsable kettle design and materials as a stainless steel travel kettle. With a 350 ml or 12 oz capacity, the Balbali doesn’t offer as large of a capacity as other options but makes up in features with its 5-minute fast boil setting, ease of use, and ability to substitute as a water bottle. In addition, the double-wall design provides insulation to carry it after it has finished boiling. Finally, with a detachable cord, the model offers the convenience of boiling water, adding tea bags, and setting out for your day. Considering the different materials provided amongst the portable kettle options, the Balbali is worth consideration among the stainless steel models.

Sekaer Small Portable Tea Kettle

Another travel water kettle in a stainless-steel design, the Sakaer Small Portable Tea Kettle features a thermos-style design with a detachable cord that allows you to quickly heat water, grab the kettle, and go. With four different temperature pre-set options and a water temperature display on the side, the Sekaer offers fast heating and boiling water in as little as 5 minutes. Its compact size won’t take up a lot of space in your bag but still offers 380ml or 13 oz capacity.

With double-wall insulation, you won’t scald yourself on its sides, and the boil-dry protection stops it from overheating. The only limitation compared to the above options is the lack of dual voltage, making the Sekaer an option that should only be considered for those traveling domestically in countries with a 110-volt power source.

Hödel Travel Electric Kettle

The largest capacity electric travel kettle on this list, the Hödel can hold up to 1 liter or 34 oz of water, yet it can still fold down to a compact size with its unique design. Made of food-grade silicone, BPA-free plastic, and stainless steel, the Hödel is a dual voltage kettle. Also, it comes with a travel adapter, making it the most international-ready of the options available. In addition, the foldable small travel kettle offers a speed boil feature, boiling water in 5 minutes, matching the other smaller kettles on this list. The most complete option for those looking for a higher boiling capacity, the Hödel is the closest to a normal kettle that you will find yet compact enough for travel.

Brentwood Collapsible-Travel Kettle

The only travel kettle on this list that comes from a brand that offers a wide range of appliances, the Brentwood Collapsible-Travel Kettle features the foldable silicon design that is seen in other travel kettles, with dual voltage, 800 ml or 27 oz of capacity, and a stainless steel heating plate. Relative simple in features, the Brentwood is also one of the more affordable options available, coming in at half the price as many others on this list. While the handle is not as sturdy in design, the compact size makes it an easy addition to your bag for traveling.

Teqooza Portable Travel Electric Kettle Mini Thermos

With a sleek minimalist design, the Teqooza Portable Travel Electric Kettle Mini Thermos is excellent as a stainless steel travel kettle that doubles as a thermos and can easily fit into a car cupholder. With a relatively limited set of features and no dual voltage, the Teqooza is best for those looking for an electric kettle for road trips. Combined with a car outlet adapter, this is perfect for getting consistently hot water for tea or coffee during cold weather travel.

ECTY Portable Travel Kettle

Those looking for a more traditional design of an electric kettle and an entirely stainless steel interior will find the ECTY Portable Travel Kettle to be the best option. Built in the same style as a typical kettle, the ECTY comes in a more compact 500ml capacity or 16.9oz size. The ECTY does not feature dual voltage or pre-set temperature settings but offers a whole metal boiling environment for those who prefer more traditional materials for their kettle.

Spardar 12V Car Electric Travel Kettle

The Spardar 12V Car Electric Travel Kettle is made for road trips and comes with a 12v charger that can power directly from your car. Coming in multiple colors and at a 350ml or 12oz capacity, the Spardar can fit into a car cup holder and is the perfect choice for road trips. With safety features like automatic shutoff and boil dry protection, the only downside of the Spardar is the lack of ability to use it outside your car.

Tayama Travel Foldable Electric Kettle

Offering a familiar foldable silicone design, the Tayama Travel Foldable Electric Kettle is one of the better value options on this list. With simple features, though including all of the standard safety features, the Tayama offers a 600 ml or 20 oz capacity, and with dual voltage is made for international travel. Priced at the budget-friendly end of the range, this is a great compact option at a reasonable price.

CHACEEF Travel Electric Kettle

One of the more entertaining options available, the CHACEEF features a temperature-triggered LED light on its side that shows the temperature of the water inside. In addition, the CHACEEF offers a stainless steel design and a 350ml or 12oz capacity to make it easy to tell how hot the contents are. While not offering dual voltage, the kettle does offer three boiling modes and a keep warm option to maintain a warm temperature for extended hours. Similar in style to the other thermos-like models, the CHACEEF is priced fairly, given its features.

Features to Consider

Not all electric travel kettles are designed or made the same for a good reason. Different features have their pros and cons depending on the travel preferences and behaviors of consumers. When considering what makes the best travel tea kettle for your own situation, make sure to consider the below features and design options.

Dual Voltage

One of the easiest decisions for those shopping for an electric travel kettle is if you need dual voltage functionality, which should be based on your travel plans. For example, suppose you are planning on traveling internationally. In that case, you should opt for a dual voltage model that won’t burn out in countries with electric systems running on a higher voltage. On the other hand, if you have primarily domestic travel plans, leaving out the dual voltage requirement may provide you with more options and more affordable prices.

Travel tea kettles are nothing like the sturdy stovetop tea kettles made from metal or ceramic long ago. Instead, due to the need to keep them both light and functional, most travel kettle options are made from some combination of plastic, stainless steel, and food-grade silicone. With the collapsible options, you will find the silicone, which allows the kettles to expand and boil more water, though it offers a flimsier experience that is more prone to wear. On the other hand, the solid and less flexible designs are sturdier, though they will require more space when packing.

Capacity or Size

Whenever you talk about the size of a travel accessory, there is bound to be a trade-off between functionality and packing space. In the case of travel kettles, it’s between capacity and storage, with the bigger capacity kettles often taking up more space. Fortunately, there are collapsible options, which are small and fold into a more suitcase-friendly shape. However, there will be limitations for anyone looking primarily for stainless steel options.

Generally, the size of travel kettles ranges from as little as 300 ml of water or 10 oz and more oversized capacity kettles as large as 1 liter or 34 oz. It’s essential to be realistic about how much capacity you need in your kettle. Can you not boil more than once if it’s a lower capacity, or is making a larger kettle of boiling water essential for your needs?

Easy Storage

Storage of your travel kettle can make a big difference when packing. Some options come with small cases, allowing you to tuck away the power cord and pack the kettle without the risk of getting dust, fuzz, or anything from your bag into it. Others have tight screwing lids and can be put into a bag similar to a water bottle.

Collapsible Design

One of the most common designs in travel kettles is evident with the variety of electric collapsible travel kettles available. The collapsible kettle is the optimal choice for those looking to minimize packing space yet still have the luxury of bringing a tea kettle on their trip. Typically made from a combination of plastic, metal, and silicone, these designs are some of the more popular styles, providing a great mix of capacity in a small package.

There are two primary designs for the power cord on a portable kettle. One is a detachable power cord that will pull out of the kettle to be stored separately, while the other is winding cord storage, where the cord will tuck into the base. Both offer flexibility, though if you are a traveler prone to losing things, it’s worth opting for the model that doesn’t have a removable power cord.

The Compact Size vs. Material Trade-off

For many consumers, the collapsible style of travel kettle may feel a bit flimsy and not as durable. This style will undoubtedly be a turnoff for those hoping for a long useful life. On the other hand, the stainless steel options will also be less than optimal for consumers who prefer to avoid the extra weight and packing space. It’s tough to find a perfect balance, but it should be considered with each traveler’s needs and preferences.

Traveling on the Road or in the Air

One final consideration is the mode of transportation you plan on taking with the kettle. Those planning on traveling primarily on the road in cars, trucks, campers, or RVs will find that the stainless steel options are sturdier and better to use as a thermos so that you can get a more durable design for your travel.

Those planning to pack their kettle primarily for flights should opt for lighter materials and more compact designs, like the collapsible options on this list.

Bottom Line

While the most common features of the best travel kettles vary, with plenty of different sizes and designs available, choosing the best portable travel kettle for yourself depends on your travel preferences and the features you value. There is not one option that is perfect for everyone, so choose a kettle based on your travel preferences and the style of travel you most often take.

We Tested the Best Electric Kettles for Hot Water in a Flash

Simply plug in and you'll have boiling water in just a few minutes

The Spruce Eats / Jennifer Causey

While there is something timeless to the hiss and whistle of a traditional stovetop kettle , today’s electric alternatives are faster, easier to use, and include a variety of handy features. Some can be set to a specific temperature, others are designed to stay hot for hours. The added convenience makes electric kettles especially suitable for avid tea drinkers, but quick-and-easy hot water can also be used for oatmeal, pour-over coffee , and more. We tested almost two dozen of these to find the most efficient and valuable options out there.

How We Tested Electric Kettles

Others we tested.

• What to Look for

Why Trust The Spruce Eats?

Best overall, cuisinart perfectemp electric kettle.

Six temperature settings

Accurate temperature

Cordless kettle

Not well-insulated

Somewhat slow

This kettle could not be easier to use: All the buttons make it very clear what they're for, and they're located right in the handle. It nonetheless offers an impressive set of functions, with six temperature options calibrated to different types of tea —from extra-delicate infusions at 160 degrees Fahrenheit to black tea (or instant noodles) at 212. The convenient cordless feature lets you lift the kettle off the base to pour water anywhere (but you do have to return the kettle to the base within 2 minutes or it shuts off).

The PerfecTemp took just over 5 minutes to bring a full pot to the boil in our testing, which made it slower than average, if only by a few seconds. It was also accurate in three of our four temperature tests and in holding heat for over 30 minutes on keep-warm, though it strangely ran hotter when set to 175 than when set to 185. The pot itself doesn't have great insulation, as it dropped in temperature more than other models as it sat for 30 minutes with the heat shut off.

None of these negatives, however, are enough to outweigh the excellent performance, features, and convenience the PerfecTemp delivers, especially when you consider that it's almost exactly average in price.

Capacity: 57.5 ounces | Dimensions: 8.8 x 6.1 x 9.7 inches | Weight: 2 pounds | Temperature Settings: 6 | Power: 1,500 watts

Best Gooseneck

Cosori electric gooseneck kettle.

Smooth pouring

Accurate temperature control

Sleek design

Small capacity

Kettle body gets hot

This kettle's heat settings are absolutely dead-on: Among all four of our tests, it was off by only a single degree, only once. The Cosori is good for anybody who likes variety in their caffeinated beverages, as its five settings correspond to the optimal temperatures for brewing white tea, green tea, oolong tea, coffee, and black tea. It also has a "hold temp" button that keeps the water at the set point for up to 60 minutes so you can pour a second mug. This worked perfectly in testing, staying at exactly 202 degrees Fahrenheit the whole time.

Considering its middle-of-the-road price, the Cosori's features are both extensive and effective. Unfortunately, it can't brew very much coffee or tea at a time. It holds just 0.8 liters, making it the smallest machine on this list. It's probably a better choice for a solo sipper or an office desk rather than a crowded kitchen. Also, like most non-insulated kettles, it gets quite hot in use. The handle is still heatproof, but the body of this model seemed especially scorching for errant fingers.

Capacity: 27.1 ounces | Dimensions: 11.6 x 9 x 7.7 inches | Weight: 3.5 pounds | Temperature Settings: 5 | Power: 1,200 watts

Best Budget

Amazon basics stainless steel electric hot water kettle.

Inexpensive

Fast heating

No temperature options

This is indeed a basic electric kettle, but it's impressively speedy. It boiled its contents in 3 minutes and 50 seconds, making it the single fastest in our testing. It manages to pack 1,500 watts of power into a compact and lightweight frame, with a lift-off cordless carafe you can carry anywhere.

The kettle is just small, holding only a liter of water at a time, so you might find yourself refilling it multiple times a day. It also doesn't have any functions beyond boil—there's no temperature control or keep-warm mode. But at this low of a price, you really wouldn't expect a very versatile appliance. The Amazon Basics model could be great for a dorm room, desk, camper van, or anywhere else you need reliable hot water without a lot of fuss.

Capacity: 33.8 ounces | Dimensions: 8 x 5.5 x 7.9 inches | Weight: 1.7 pounds | Temperature Settings: 1 | Power: 1,500 watts

Best Splurge

Fellow stagg ekg electric pour-over kettle.

Precise pouring

Stylish color options

Takes a bit longer to reach a boil

The long, narrow spout of a gooseneck kettle is designed to create a smooth and even flow perfect for pour-over coffee , but we found that the style makes an excellent all-purpose appliance, too. Fellow's Stagg EKG model gives you pinpoint control, not only of where the water goes but also its temperature. You can set the machine to anywhere between 135 and 212, right down to the individual degree. And in testing, its heat was completely accurate, matching the target exactly at all four temperatures.

The Stagg EKG did take a little longer than comparable models to get all the way to boil, at 7.5 minutes. That's not terribly behind the average, but it's disappointing considering that this model holds about half as much as many competitors. The steel kettle body isn't insulated and gets very hot, though we had no trouble using the heatproof handle to carry it.

This kettle is quite expensive, and part of that is down to its advanced temperature controls, but some of that is because of its lovely minimalist design. The low-profile base seems to disappear when you're not using its simple dial control, and there are lots of options for kettle color and handle material to catch the eye or match your decor. (If you're not into the gooseneck style, we also like Fellow's Corvo EKG , essentially the same machine with a standard kettle shape.)

Capacity: 30.4 ounces | Dimensions: 11.5 x 6.7 x 8 inches | Weight: 4.3 pounds | Temperature Settings: 79 | Power: 1,200 watts

OXO Brew Cordless Glass Electric Kettle

Large capacity

They say a watched pot never boils, but OXO's glass kettle proves them wrong. The sleek appliance is a sure fit for any modern kitchen, made of super-strong borosilicate glass with an effectively heatproof handle, plus easy-to-read measurement markings in imperial and metric. There's not a terribly wide capacity range in the kettles we tested, but this one is on the larger end, and it was still able to boil water faster than average—in well under 5 minutes. It also comes off its base for convenient cordless pouring.

The downside of that lovely transparent kettle is that it isn't insulated and gets quite hot, so you'll have to make sure to keep your fingers on the handle only. On top of that, there are no temperature settings beyond boil—we'd expect a machine that's above the budget price level to have a few more bells and whistles.

Capacity: 59.2 ounces | Dimensions: 9 x 6.3 x 11.2 inches | Weight: 4.3 pounds | Temperature Settings: 1 | Power: 1,500 watts

Best Large Capacity

Zojirushi ve hybrid water boiler and warmer.

Push-button dispensing

Slow initial heating

Complicated to use

Zojirushi might be known best for its high-end rice cookers , but the brand also makes a variety of small appliances, including coffee makers, bread machines, and this water boiler. It's quite different in design than other electric kettles: The self-contained vacuum-insulated cylinder heats water to the temperature you select, then holds it there and dispenses however much you want at the push of a button.

This thing has a capacity of a little over a gallon, making it a good choice for an office or large family. The push-to-pour function is also a good way to fill anything from a single mug to a full-size French press with little risk of splashing or spilling scalding water. (There's also a "cafe drip" mode that slows the speed of the water flow so you can make pour-over directly from the machine.) It has a timer, too, so you can set it to turn on ahead of time and wake up ready to brew.

The Ve Hybrid was very accurate in our tests, hitting its temperature targets exactly. The initial heating is quite slow—it needed 13 minutes to get to the boil—but after that, you have a lot of hot water on demand. This model has a lot of bells and whistles, though you'll definitely need to hold onto the manual to figure them out. It's not exactly user-friendly. It's also pretty expensive, though that's made up for by how much water it can hold.

Capacity: 135.3 ounces | Dimensions: 11.1 x 8.8 x 13.9 inches | Weight: 7 pounds | Temperature Settings: 4 | Power: 840 watts

The Cuisinart PerfecTemp tops our list thanks to its ease of use and range of settings at a mid-range price. For a budget alternative, the Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Electric Hot Water Kettle gives you speed and power in a compact machine, at a very low price.

We tested electric kettles as part of our overall testing of tea kettles . Based on the results of previous rounds of testing as well as extensive additional research, we chose a total of 25 kettles to purchase and test, 18 of them electric models. We put those 18 electric kettles through identical sets of tests.

We Observed

• Power: We added 1 liter of water at exactly 50 degrees Fahrenheit and timed how long it took to reach a full boil. (For models with capacities less than a liter, we used the maximum amount of water.) Overall capacity still comes into play, however, as the machine has to heat the entire kettle whether or not it's completely full.
• Accuracy: Starting with the same liter of water at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, we set the machines to different temperatures and measured whether they heated the water to the correct level. We ran this same test at 175, 185, 190, and 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which are the most common settings available. (We tested all the settings available on models with fewer than four options.)
• Insulation: After the boiling test, we shut the machines off, left the kettle lids on, and checked the temperature after 10 minutes and 30 minutes to see how well they kept the water hot. We also felt the outsides of the kettles and their handles to determine how well both can protect fingers from the heat.
• Ease of use: As we performed our tests, we noted whether we ran into trouble getting everything put together and set up correctly, and if the controls were confusing or straightforward. We also looked at design aspects like how smoothly the spouts poured, if we could fill the kettles without splashing, and if any cords got in the way.
• Flavor: After boiling water in each kettle (after letting the water cool, of course), we gave it a taste. Most of the tested models did not affect the flavor of the water, but a few left behind metallic or plasticky notes that lost them points.
• Value: We performed all our other evaluations without knowing the kettles' costs, but our last step was to reveal and compare retail prices. The 18 electric kettles we tested ranged in price from $25 to $230, with an average of $99.

The Spruce Eats / Derek Rose

• KitchenAid Electric Kettle : This model marries the classic look of a stovetop kettle with the convenience of an electric base, but its basic features don't live up to its moderate price. There's only one temperature setting, and it was one of the slowest to boil in testing.
• Bonavita Variable Temperature Electric Kettle : This gooseneck kettle offers six different temperature settings, but it was consistently off by up to 5 degrees in our tests. That's not too big of a deal in terms of making tea, it was the least accurate model we tested. It's also more expensive than similar, better-performing kettles.
• Mueller Ultra Kettle : This simple glass kettle is powerful, easy to use, and inexpensive. It just didn't really stand out among the other budget models we tested, and it's priced a little higher than the Amazon Basics machine we chose as our favorite.

What to Look for in an Electric Kettle

Many electric kettles are simple: hit the switch and wait for the water to boil. But you can also find kettles with a number of convenient features, including preset drink options, temperature holding, and automatic shutoff. Figuring out what features you want will also provide a clearer idea of your price point.

And the correct temperature can affect how your tea tastes. Shunan Teng , the founder and CEO of Tea Drunk, told us that an incorrect water temperature is one of three main brewing mistakes that prevent tea from reaching its best flavor. (The other two mistakes are brewing for the wrong amount of time and using too much or too little tea.)

Size and Capacity

If you typically make a single cup of tea at a time or own a French press that only fills a mug or two, you might not need a large kettle taking up counter space. But if you're an avid tea or coffee drinker, or if you need to brew beverages for multiple people, it's worth purchasing a bigger (and likely heavier) kettle. Design also comes into play here, though, as some models can fit more water into less space, while others are less compact.

Electric kettles are primarily made from three materials: plastic, glass, or steel. Each one brings a different aesthetic to your kitchen and also affects the weight of the kettle. If you're worried about a kettle being too heavy, it's probably best to go the plastic route, though there are some great lightweight options in the glass and steel department.

Useful Accessories for an Electric Kettle

Teapots and tea kettles have long gone hand-in-hand. Today, there are many stovetop-safe teapots, usually made of glass, that eliminate the need for a separate kettle. If you want both appliances, though, one teapot we've tested and recommend is the Sweese Porcelain Teapot .

Tea Infuser

If you prefer making one cup of tea at a time, a tea infuser is a better option than a teapot. Infusers are cheaper, easier to clean, and take up less space than teapots. One of the best infusers we've tested is the Finum Brewing Basket , which allows tea leaves to thoroughly diffuse while preventing small bits from getting into your cup.

Non-Electric Coffee Maker

Electric kettles aren't just for tea drinkers but coffee lovers too. Owning an electric kettle makes it easier to use a non-electric brewing device, like a pour over or French press. You can get a different, often richer, coffee experience with a non-electric brewer. While there are many great options, the Chemex is one of our favorites.

How do you clean an electric kettle?

Electric kettles need to be regularly cleaned inside and out to keep them looking nice and working properly. You can easily remove smudges and stains from a kettle’s exterior by wiping it with a soft cloth and cleaning product of your choice. A combination of vinegar and baking soda is great for removing tougher stains, but dish soap works, too. This should be done every week or so to keep your kettle shining.

Electric kettles also need to be descaled—a more rigorous process intended to remove the mineral buildup, commonly called scale, inside a kettle. The task should be performed at least four times a year. One method of descaling goes as follows: fill your kettle halfway with equal parts water and white vinegar , bring the solution to a boil, and let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing inside with water. Lemon juice or citric acid is a reliable substitute for white vinegar. If your kettle has a water filter, it can be soaked in a combination of water and white vinegar for five minutes and scrubbed with a bottle brush to keep clean. Once finished with all these steps, it’s worth running a cycle of water through your kettle to make sure it’s entirely clean.

What water temperature is best for tea?

The best brewing temperature depends on the type of tea you are making. Each variety has its own temperature or range of temperatures that bring out the strongest flavor. White tea should be brewed around 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Green tea ranges from 150 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Moving onto the stronger teas, oolong is best between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Black tea ranges from 180 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but the majority are best with water above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Pu-erh is brewed around 205 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, herbal teas should be brewed at a full boil of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Many electric kettles have preset options for specific tea varieties, so all you have to do is hit a button and the device will bring water to the ideal temperature for you. 

According to Tea Drunk's Teng, one way to make better tea at home is to use hotter water for high-quality tea and lower-temperature water for subpar tea. "Hotter temperatures bring out the flavors in better tea," she says, "and lower temperatures dilute the flaws in lower-quality tea. With bad tea, the bitterness and astringency would come out with higher temperatures."

Can you heat milk in an electric kettle?

It's not a good idea to heat milk (or anything other than water) in a kettle, whether it’s a stovetop or an electric model. Milk leaves behind residue that is difficult to clean and can cause an unpleasant smell and taste. This can also damage the heating elements of an electric kettle and, in many cases, void the warranty. Heating milk in the microwave or in a pot on the stove is a better option.

Things to consider before you buy a travel kettle.

First, consider the kettle’s capacity and whether it’ll suit your needs.

Next, consider the weight and size; you’ll want something compact and lightweight for easy packing.

Also, pay attention to the voltage, material, boiling time, and price to ensure it fits your budget and meets your requirements.

One of the main factors when choosing a kettle for travel is the capacity. A smaller-capacity kettle is often preferred for travel as it is more lightweight and compact, making it easier to pack and carry. A typical travel kettle usually has a capacity between 0.5 to 1.5 liters.

Another important factor to consider is the voltage compatibility of the kettle. Different countries have different voltage standards , so choosing a kettle compatible with the destination country’s voltage is essential. Many travel kettles come with dual-voltage options, allowing them to be used in different regions.

The material of the kettle is also an important consideration. Stainless steel is a popular choice for travel kettles as it is lightweight, durable, and easy to clean. Additionally, some kettles come with a collapsible design, which allows them to be compactly folded when not in use, saving space in your luggage.

When choosing a kettle to take on your travels, one thing to consider is how much weight you’re willing to carry. The weight of the kettle can vary depending on its size and material.

If you prefer a lightweight option, look for stainless steel or plastic kettles. These materials are known for being durable yet lightweight. Some kettles also come with foldable handles or detachable cords, making them even more convenient to carry around in your luggage.

It’s important to consider the size that best suits your needs and fits easily into your luggage. The size can vary significantly, so finding one that is compact and lightweight is crucial for convenience while on the go.

Look for a kettle with a small footprint designed to be portable without sacrificing capacity. A smaller size will make it easier to pack in your suitcase or carry-on bag without taking up too much space or adding unnecessary weight. Additionally, consider the capacity and whether it aligns with your travel habits.

Finding the right balance between size and capacity will ensure you have hot water whenever you need it during your travels .

Boiling Time

Boiling time is crucial as it determines how quickly you can enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee while on the go.

To make sure you find one with a fast boiling time, keep these points in mind:

• Wattage : Look for kettles with higher wattages, as they heat water faster.
• Capacity: Smaller kettles tend to boil water quicker than larger ones due to their size.
• Heating Element: Kettles with concealed heating elements often provide faster boiling times.
• Boil-Dry Protection: Opt for kettles with this feature, which prevents damage and ensures safety.

These factors will help you select the best travel kettle that boils water quickly and efficiently, allowing you to savor your favorite hot beverage without delay.

Now that you know about boiling time, let’s move on to another important factor: price.

It’s essential to consider your budget. You want an electric travel kettle that meets your needs and fits your financial constraints. Fortunately, there are plenty of options available at various price points.

Remember that some cheaper models may lack certain features or have slower boiling times, but they can still provide convenience and reliability on your travels.

Remember, finding the perfect balance between performance and affordability is key. So, let’s explore different price ranges and discover which suits your needs best!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you take a travel kettle on a plane.

Can you actually take a travel kettle on a plane? The answer is yes but with some restrictions.

Firstly, it’s important to note that not all airlines allow electric kettles in carry-on bags. Some may consider them potential security risks due to the heating element inside. So, before packing your kettle, check the airline’s regulations and contact their customer service if needed.

If the airline permits travel kettles, there are still some guidelines to follow. It must be empty and completely dry before packing it. It should also be easily accessible for inspection at security checkpoints. It’s advisable to place it separately in a plastic bag or its own protective case to avoid any issues.

Remember that power outlets might not be available on all flights or seats. So even if you bring your kettle on board, you may be unable to use it during the flight.

How Long Does a Travel Kettle Take To Boil?

Well, let me tell you, it won’t take too long! Travel kettles are designed to be compact and efficient, so they heat up quickly and do the job in no time.

Most travel kettles can bring water to a boil in just a few minutes.

Here are four reasons why you’ll love the quick boiling time:

• No waiting around: You won’t have to waste precious vacation time waiting for water to boil. You can enjoy your morning cup of tea or coffee in no time and get on with exploring your destination.

• Perfect for impatient travelers: Ideal if you hate waiting around. It’s small but mighty, delivering hot water fast so that you can keep moving on your adventures.

Do Travel Kettles Work in the USA?

You’ll be thrilled that travel kettles are fully compatible in the USA, so you can enjoy a hot cup of your favorite beverage wherever your adventures take you! Whether staying in a hotel room or camping outdoors, they are a convenient and efficient way to boil water.

Travel kettles are designed to work with different voltages and plug types, making them suitable for use in various countries, including the United States. Most have dual voltage capabilities, allowing them to switch between 110-120 volts (the standard in the USA) and 220-240 volts (commonly used in other countries). This means you won’t need additional converters or adapters when using your kettle in America.

Can You Use a Travel Kettle at Home?

Travel kettles aren’t just for travel; you can use them at home too. Using one at home offers many advantages. Firstly, it provides you with instant access to hot water whenever you need it. Whether you want to make tea, coffee, or even instant noodles, a travel kettle can quickly heat the water. It saves time and energy compared to using a traditional stovetop kettle.

Another benefit of using a travel kettle at home is its compact size. These kettles are designed to be lightweight and portable, making them perfect for small kitchens or limited countertop space. They don’t take up much room and can easily be stored when not in use.

They often have additional features like temperature control settings or automatic shut-off functions. These features ensure safety and allow you to customize your hot water experience according to your preferences.

The Best Travel Kettles (Get Your Caffeine Fix On The Road)

If you can’t go a day without coffee or tea, you better get yourself a travel kettle . The free coffee in most hotels is mostly instant and/or terrible. This way, you can ensure that you’ll always have your choice of brew in the morning.

• Best Compact Dual Voltage Gourmia GK378 Dual Voltage Collapsible Kettle Jump To Review
• CHEAPER OPTION Bodum BISTRO Water Kettle Jump To Review
• Popular Choice NEME Travel Foldable Electric Kettle Jump To Review

More than that, it’s also a handy tool to have with you if you’re on a budget. Use it to sterilize questionable water, cook noodles, boil eggs, and whatever else you’ll need to heat with water.

Top Product Overview

The best travel kettles, gourmia gk360 travel foldable electric kettle.

Space-savers are always excellent options whatever the destination. The  Gourmia GK360 Travel Foldable Electric Kettle  holds  800mL of water  which roughly amounts to one or two cups.

Thanks to its food-grade silicone body, the  collapsible design  makes this handy kettle uber portable and very easy to store.

This kettle has a  speed boil feature , boiling water faster than a microwave. It saves time and you can get it and go if you’re in a hurry. It also has a  sensor that shuts off the power  when the water level is too low. There’s also a lid-lock to keep boiling water from spilling and an integrated spout filter.

You have to be very careful when reaching around the kettle, however. The  chrome ring around the base tends to get extremely hot  when the kettle is on for a long time. It’s highly likely to be hot enough to scald you if you’re not careful.

• Collapsible
• Compact and portable
• Simple on-off switch
• Chrome ring at the base can get very hot

Product Information

• Material: Food-grade silicone
• Product Dimensions: 4.2 x 7.2 x 6.5 inches
• Capacity: 800mL
• Safety Features: Power Sensor, Lid Lock, Spout Filter

Gourmia GK378 Dual Voltage Collapsible Kettle

Another great collapsible travel kettle from Gormia is the GK378 . Not only does it squeeze down into a very compact size, but it also works in two voltages!

Why is this so handy? Well, if you head anywhere overseas, the chances are big that that voltage of the local electricity could differ from where you live. For example, North America uses 120V, while Europe uses 220V. And if you take a normal kettle with you, it will either blow up or not work well (or at all). Not a great start to your travels!

Gormia also likes to provide high-grade materials and safety, using kitchen-grade silicone as well as integrating a dry boil cut-off to save you from any mishaps. Of course, I prefer stainless steel for kettles, but when you are on the go, that means more weight and space.

• Light and compact
• Great for travel (dual voltage)
• Dry boil safety feature
• Keep warm function
• Quite small capacity
• No stainless steel
• Material: Plastic
• Product Dimensions: 4 x 7 x 7.75 in
• Capacity: 500mL
• Safety Features: Removable Base, Auto-off

Bodum BISTRO Water Kettle

The  Bodum BISTRO Water Kettle  is technically not a travel kettle. But at  4 x 7 x 7.75 inches , it’s definitely portable enough to function as one.

This kettle can hold  500mL of water . It has a water level window with different units of measurement so you’ll know exactly how much water you need wherever you are.

It’s also one of the funkier designs where kettles are concerned. With  four modern colors to choose from , this is for someone who wants a bit of pizzazz.

Since it’s not specifically designed as a travel kettle, it’s built with the conveniences of a regular kettle. This includes a  removable base . You can pour the liquid through a mesh-filtered spout without bringing the cord along with you.

There have been some safety issues in a few units. There was a  product recall in December  due to flimsy parts, but the new units seem to be trouble-free.  Make sure you get the new batches before purchasing .

• Modern and funky design
• Has all the perks of a regular kettle in a portable size
• Safety issues in older units

Bonavita Dual Voltage 0.5L Travel Electric Kettle

This stainless steel kettle is very durable. It also won’t leave a plastic or metal taste in your drinks. It also looks quite pretty and you won’t mind leaving this perched on your office desk or kitchen table. Its  900-watt heating element  means quick heating in any situation, which is great when you want your cup of joe, right now!

The kettle has  boil-dry protection  that switches off the device when the water level is too low.

The only downside is that many reviewers are not giving this kettle glowing reviews.

• Dual Voltage
• Good design
• Durable build
• Dual voltage is not automatic
• Toggling between 120 and 220 V is inconvenient
• Material: Stainless Steel
• Product Dimensions: 7 x 4 x 6.75 inches
• Safety Features: Auto-shutoff, Boil-Dry Protection

NEME Travel Foldable Electric Kettle

Another collapsible find is the NEME Travel Foldable Electric Kettle – . It’s portable, durable, extremely lightweight. The catch? It’s a lot smaller than most of the kettles in this review.

It’s made from food-grade silicone, with a hard plastic base. And overall, it is easily collapsible and easily stored. Especially since the cord is removable and they give you a handy bag to store everything in.

Two other features of this travel kettle worth noting are that it is dual voltage so can be used inside and outside the USA. It also has Auto Dry Protection so that if you accidentally leave it boiling or switch it on with no water, it won’t continue to boil.

The biggest downside of this kettle is the capacity, which is only 18oz (555ml), however, this can also be an upside if that is all you need.

• Small and compact
• Small capacity
• Material: Silicone
• Product Dimensions: 6.7 x 5.4 x 5.2 inches (170 x 139 x 132mm)
• Folded Size: 5.9 x 5.4 x s inches (149 x 139 x 50mm)
• Capacity: 16 oz (0.5L)
• Features: Auto Dry Protection, Dual Voltage

DCIGNA 0.5L Dual Voltage Travel Kettle

Another great option, from a relatively unknown brand, is this dual voltage  travel kettle from DCIGNA . It’s handy in its size, at only 500mL (0.5L which is 17 oz). So enough to boil a few cups, but not so big you really can’t travel with it.

And with the dual voltage, you can take it anywhere overseas where the voltage is often different (220V in Europe, 110V in the USA for example. If you take the wrong one in either direction you either end up with a kettle that doesn’t boil, or it blows up! Neither is a great option.

Because this kettle uses a stainless steel container to boil the water, I am also a huge fan. Having owned dozens of kettles over the years, I now only accept and use stainless steel.

• Dual voltage is not automatic (needs to be switched
• Not a well known brand
• Product Dimensions: 7 x 6.3 x 5.5 inches

Proctor Silex 40940 Compact Electric Kettle

Another very simple and easy-to-use kettle that is also pretty small is this 16oz stainless steel option from Proctor Silex.

There is not too much to say about this kettle, as it doesn’t have any very fancy features like the collapsable or dual voltage ones. However, it does have auto-shutoff and dry boil protection, which gives me peace of mind. If you are on vacation or travel in your home country, then it could be just what you need.

What I love about models that are stainless steel is that they are easy to clean and don’t tend to affect the taste of my beloved coffee.

• Easy toggle switch between 115 and 230 V
• Comes with drinking cups
• Cheap-looking and made of plastic
• Material: Stainless Steel & Plastic
• Product Dimensions: 8 x 5 x 7.5 in inches
• Capacity: 500mL / 16oz
• Features: Cord-free serving, Auto-shutoff, Dry-boil protection

What to Look For?

Travel kettles can hold anywhere from 500mL to 1L of water. Any bigger and it becomes less portable. Depending on how much coffee you need in a given caffeine session, solo travelers can usually make do with 500mL kettles to help keep everything as lightweight as possible.

There are dual voltage kettles that will help make traveling to different regions easier for you. So, if you do (or plan to) travel outside your country, this is a great investment.

Tech tip : In case you are not aware, various countries and regions have different voltages for their standard electricity. So, if you bring a kettle from one country to another and they have different voltages either

• The kettle won’t work or will be insanely slow (best case scenario – not enough voltage)
• The kettle will explode, melt or just fry the wires when you turn it on (too much voltage)

There is some more information  on this website  about how it works, and what you can use instead (hint, it’s painful to carry the other options).

Different materials mean different things. Plastic is usually cheaper and lightweight. Stainless steel is more durable and easier to clean. So, when you see these materials in the descriptions, you will know how to make a choice (cheap vs durable).

Silicone is used for handles or for collapsible kettles. It is also quite light and does not tend to break as easily as plastic.

Which Travel Kettle Is The Best For You?

For a simple gadget, there are a lot of options and several factors to consider when choosing the right travel kettle.

The  Gourmia  ticks all the boxes when it comes to travel. It is collapsible, dual voltage, and reasonably priced. So, if you need to save space, money and also potentially travel to various countries this is a great buy.

• SPEED BOIL: Heat water in a flash for all of your coffees, teas, noodles and cereals. Faster than any out-dated microwave or stovetop pot.
• COLLAPSIBLE DESIGN: Expands so you can fill and boil up to .8L of water, or easily fold and store away! Perfect to take along for perfectly piping hot water- wherever your travels lead you.

If space is not so much of an issue and you just want a reliable, simple travel kettle with enough capacity to pour for yourselves and maybe some friends,  the Bodum  is a decent buy.

It doesn’t have dual-voltage (which you don’t need if you stay within the US/Canada) or collapse, but it’s light and one of the cheaper options on the list. Bodum is also a very reliable brand.

• Water kettle: Bistro water kettles are an effective and efficient way to boil the Exact amount of water needed in minutes; perfect for Coffee, tea and instant soups

No matter which one you choose, having the option to make your own tea or coffee on the road is something you will never regret. Especially when there are no take-out of decent options in the neighborhood :>

The Best Electric Kettle

Electric kettles provide a swift and easy way to heat water without using a stove. And many models will even let you set a precise temperature—key for getting the best flavor from coffee and tea. Of all the models we’ve tested since 2013, the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle continues to be our favorite, thanks to its winning combination of speed, accuracy, and simple controls—and all at a better price than that of most competitors.

Everything we recommend

Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle

The best all-purpose electric kettle.

This 1.7-liter kettle heats water quickly and accurately to the various temperatures needed to get optimum flavor from teas and coffee.

Buying Options

Breville IQ Kettle

Sleeker but pricier.

Despite the price bump, this intuitive, easy-to-use kettle probably won’t provide more longevity than you get with the Cuisinart, but this model is sleeker and slightly more ergonomic.

Cuisinart Digital Gooseneck Kettle

The best gooseneck kettle.

We recommend this precise-aim gooseneck kettle for anyone preparing pour-over coffee or for tea lovers who will geek out over its spot-on temperature accuracy.

Budget pick

Hamilton Beach 40880 Stainless Steel 1.7 Liter Kettle

An inexpensive water boiler.

This no-frills kettle lacks the bells and whistles of the variable-temperature models we recommend, but it gets the job done on the cheap.

Qualities of electric kettles

Our picks can boil up to 1.7 liters of water in seven minutes, but of course they’ll boil smaller quantities even faster.

Whether your kettle is for oolong tea or pour-over, you can set it to the ideal brewing temperature, and it’ll keep the temp there for 20 to 30 minutes.

Most kettles automatically shut off after boiling or keeping warm for a set amount of time. Some also have boil-dry protection.

Boiling water repeatedly is hard on electrical components, so failure rates can be high for electric kettles. Good warranties help.

The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 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.

The Breville IQ Kettle looks great and works well, too. It has five temperature presets, each with a button on the base of the kettle, and a 20-minute “keep warm” function. And rather than being a closed loop, the handle is open at the bottom, making it just a little more accessible. We don’t think these features are worth the price jump over the Cuisinart CPK-17 (especially since the IQ has only a one-year warranty). But for someone who prioritizes a more streamlined look or an ergonomic handle, the price difference might be worth it.

The Cuisinart GK-1 Digital Gooseneck Kettle is accurate and fast, and it’s more comfortable to use than other similarly priced gooseneck kettles. The willowy spout gives you the control necessary for executing the perfect pour-over, and the rounded handle is easy to grasp, resulting in a smoother, more precise pour. The controls are intuitive and allow you to adjust the water temperature in five-degree increments, and a “keep warm” function holds the temperature for 30 minutes before automatically shutting off. The kettle has an all-steel body and lid, which makes it a great option for the plastic-avoidant. Also, in matte black this kettle looks attractive when kept on the counter.

We recommend the inexpensive Hamilton Beach 40880 Stainless Steel 1.7 Liter Kettle for anyone who’d prefer not to break the bank but wants a decent kettle for boiling water. This model is very straightforward to operate, with a simple on/off switch at the base of the handle. In our tests, it heated water just as quickly as the Cuisinart CPK-17, and it shuts off automatically as soon as it reaches a boil (this is a good safety feature, but you’ll need to stay close, since there’s no beep to alert you when it’s done). The large, heat-safe handle stays cool, and the spout doesn’t dribble when you’re pouring.

The research

Why you should trust us, who should get this, how we picked, how we tested, our pick: cuisinart cpk-17 perfectemp cordless electric kettle, also great: breville iq kettle, also great: cuisinart gk-1 digital gooseneck kettle, budget pick: hamilton beach 40880 stainless steel 1.7 liter kettle, care and maintenance, a note on reliability, other good kettles, the competition.

In researching this guide over the years, we’ve talked to a number of experts about what they look for in a kettle. They include Tony Gebely of Tea Epicure ; Michelle Rabin, founder of T Ching ; Peter F. Goggi, president of the Tea Association of the U.S.A. Inc. ; and famed tea expert Bruce Richardson . We also looked at highly rated models on Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as at reviews from America's Test Kitchen (subscription required), Good Housekeeping , and Wired .

We also performed review aggregation analysis on several of the more competitive kettles we’ve tested (with the exception of newer models, like the Cuisinart GK-1 Digital Gooseneck Kettle , that have not yet amassed enough user reviews for meaningful analysis). Using an AI-based review analysis tool, we scanned over 5,000 Amazon reviews across six popular kettles, paying attention to patterns among user comments regarding ease of use, speed, longevity, and more.

Wirecutter’s Haley Sprankle and writer Anna Shults Held worked on the most recent version of this guide, and have both covered a range of other kitchen gear for Wirecutter.

Previous updates also relied on research and testing by Sarah Zorn, a cookbook author and recipe developer and tester, and Wirecutter senior staff writer Michael Sullivan, who has covered everything from toaster ovens to air fryers . This guide also builds on work by Wirecutter’s Winnie Yang and Tim Barribeau.

Getting a variable-temperature electric kettle is the key to immediately improving your hot-drink game, whether you’re a tea connoisseur or a coffee nerd.

Different varieties of tea are intended to be brewed at specific temperatures. Though exact temperatures are up for debate and come down to personal preference, the general rule is that more-delicate leaves require cooler water. So green tea, for example, should steep at a temperature that is markedly lower than the rolling boil black tea requires.

The ideal temperature for brewing a clean, balanced cup of coffee—whether with a pour-over dripper or a French press—is also below boiling: The Specialty Coffee Association recommends somewhere around 200 °F . If you’re mainly interested in brewing coffee, you might also consider purchasing an electric gooseneck kettle, specifically designed for pour-overs. The thin, angled spout aids in assuring a slow, controlled pour.

If you’re not a coffee or tea aficionado, you may want a no-frills basic model that simply boils water. We have a pick for that, too. In either case, an electric kettle also works for people who hate the alarming sound of whistling kettles and want a fast, more automatic path to their morning cup of caffeine. It’s also useful for those who don’t have easy access to a stove, such as students living in a dorm.

A great electric kettle should hit temperatures quickly and accurately, and it should preferably come with a few special features that make it pleasant and easy to use. Over our years of research and testing since first writing this guide, in 2013, we’ve settled on the following criteria:

Simple controls: Bringing water to a boil shouldn’t be rocket science. We looked for kettles with intuitive controls that were simple to start at the push of a button. Not all models we tested came with multiple temperature settings, but for those that did, we looked for clearly marked and easily adjustable settings. We’ve also found it especially helpful when guides—with ideal temperatures for various beverages—are printed on the machine, instead of hidden in the manual.

Accurate: For kettles with multiple temperature settings, reasonable accuracy is important because there’s no point in aiming for 200 °F and hitting 212 °F instead.

Fast: You don’t want to wait forever for your water to heat, and we’ve seen quite a range during tests, with kettles taking anywhere from under 3 minutes to a sleepy 7 minutes and counting to boil one liter of water. Ideally, we looked for models that brought a liter to a boil in 5 minutes or less.

Pours cleanly: Basic kettles should be able to pour into a mug without splashing or dribbling. With gooseneck kettles, which are primarily intended for making pour-over coffee, we looked for models that gave us a high level of control over the speed and direction of the stream.

Minimal plastic: We tested kettles made primarily from stainless steel, glass, or ceramic. Some people, including our experts, complain about plastic kettles imparting a funny taste or smell to the water. Plus, plastic kettles are more prone to warping over time, so we decided not to include them. Most models we've tested, however, contained some minor plastic elements, such as parts of the lid, a filter, or the water-level window. All of our picks’ manufacturers assured us that the plastic components in their kettles were made from heat-resistant plastics.

If you’re especially concerned about plastic components in your kettle, our pick for the best gooseneck kettle, the Cuisinart GK-1 Digital Gooseneck Kettle , has an all-steel body and lid. And three of the options in our Other good kettles section, the OXO Brew Gooseneck Electric Kettle , the Fellow Corvo EKG , and the Fellow Stagg EKG , have all-steel bodies with only a silicone gasket around the temperature probe on the bottom. Both Fellow kettles also have all-steel lids.

Safety features: Kettles should have handles and lids that stay cool to the touch and keep your hands well away from any scalding surfaces. An automatic shut-off is another important safety feature—most kettles these days come with one, but it’s important that the feature works properly.

Easy to clean: All kettles will need to be descaled from time to time, since lime deposits build up inside. To make that process easier, we looked for kettles with wide openings that are easy to reach into for cleaning. A scale filter in the spout also helps to keep bits of the deposits (which are harmless) out of your cup.

Solid warranties: Boiling water is hard on appliances, especially those with finicky moving parts or complex settings. Our research has shown that even high-quality kettles can have a somewhat short lifespan. Spending more may get you nicer features or a sturdier housing, but it won’t ensure that your kettle lasts longer. So it’s best to find a model with a good warranty. A year is standard; two or more is excellent. (The Cuisinart PerfecTemp, our top pick , offers three.)

Nice extras: Waiting is a pain, particularly when a kettle doesn’t have audible cues to let you know that it’s reached the desired temperature. That said, it’s preferable when a kettle is otherwise quiet—without rattling while heating, shrieking while boiling, or setting off prolonged beeps when you’ve let it sit. Other extra-credit additions include timers, real-time temperature indicators, and toggles that let you switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

We started our original testing by timing how long it took each kettle to bring a liter of water to a boil. With the variable-temperature kettles, we also measured how accurate their internal thermometer was for various non-boiling temperatures. (We did this by using a ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4, our former upgrade pick for instant-read thermometer .)We performed both tests multiple times on each kettle.

Some models we tested had a warming feature that could hold set temperatures, so we checked their accuracy after letting them sit on hold for a period of time. We tested automatic shut-off features and took note of any excessive or annoying beeps while using each kettle. We tasted the water from each model after boiling to see whether it had any off flavors caused by plastic components.

We tested gooseneck kettles by making pour-over coffee, and by tracing specific patterns onto a dry paper towel to assess how much control each kettle’s spout and handle provided over the pour.

We also used an AI-powered tool to analyze over 5,000 Amazon user reviews across six popular electric kettle models. This included our top pick , the Cuisinart PerfecTemp CPK-17; our budget pick , the Hamilton Beach kettle; and our also-great pick , the Breville IQ, as well as other contenders like the Fellow Stagg , the OXO Brew gooseneck kettle , and the Chefman Electric Kettle with Temperature Control. (Our gooseneck pick, the Cuisinart GK-1 , is too new to have aggregated enough reviews for this type of analysis.)

Although review aggregation can’t cover every model we’re interested in, we did see some interesting patterns across the data collected. For instance, it’s clear users appreciate both speed and variable-temperature controls, since those were often the two most-mentioned topics in reviews. It’s also clear that longevity is an issue across all the kettles we analyzed. Unfortunately, we also saw patterns that more-sophisticated controls (like variable-temperature settings) may be at odds with longevity (meaning kettles with temperature controls generally got more complaints about failure than simple on/off kettles).

The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle has been our top pick since 2013, thanks to its ease of use, speed, and accuracy. It has an intuitive interface with six temperature settings, and it defaults to a keep-warm option that conveniently holds water at the designated temperature (or just below, if set to boil) for 30 minutes. The wide handle is comfortable to hold, and the spout doesn’t dribble when pouring. Unlike many of the other non-gooseneck kettles we tested, this model has a high capacity (1⅔ liters) yet still boasts a simple, streamlined design. So it won’t be an eyesore if it’s stored on your kitchen counter.

Of all of the variable-temperature models we tested, the Cuisinart CPK-17 is one of the simplest to operate. Each of the six temperature settings has its own button right on the handle, and each is labeled with the temperature and beverage it’s best for (such as Oolong and French press). If you don’t innately know the ideal water temperatures for making specific types of tea, this is very helpful (though the kettle’s settings for white and black tea vary a bit from the recommendations of our experts). All you need to do is add water, select the temperature you want, hit start, and wait for the kettle to beep when it’s done. Then it kicks into an automated keep-warm cycle (there’s also a Keep Warm button, if you’d like to select this option manually); this maintains the temperature for up to 30 minutes. Another button on the handle lets you easily open the lid with one hand, and the spout pours in an even stream.

In addition to the Cuisinart CPK-17’s straightforward, easy-to-use design, we found this kettle had an extremely consistent boil time. On average, it brought 1 liter of water to a boil in around 4 minutes. Of the kettles we tested, this wasn’t the fastest boil time, but it was speedier than most. Additionally, the Cuisinart CPK-17 proved to be impressively accurate in our tests: Water measured just 2 degrees over the set temperature of 185 °F after 30 minutes on the keep-warm setting.

The Cuisinart CPK-17 beeps once when you press a button on the control panel, as well as several times when it reaches a temperature setting. We found this much less annoying than the excessive beeps from the KitchenAid KEK1722 kettle. And we appreciated the temperature alert—which was surprisingly lacking in many of the models we tried—since it means you don’t need to hover over the kettle in eager anticipation. Be mindful, however, that a raucous beeping will occur if the kettle is on and you return it to the base empty. This is the boil-dry protection warning, intended to prevent damage to the kettle. It’s easy to avoid this situation, though, since the water-level window lets you see when water is getting low.

The Cuisinart CPK-17 is easy to clean, with a removable scale filter in the spout and a lid opening large enough for you to get a hand inside. Just avoid splashing water on the control buttons located on the handle, and be sure to clean them only with a damp cloth and a mild dish soap (if necessary). Harsher cleaners, like Lysol wipes, may cause the labels on the buttons to fade or disappear.

Another standout feature of the Cuisinart CPK-17 is its limited three-year warranty, which is substantially better than what you get with all of the other models we tested in this price range. (Most come with only a year of coverage.) Considering that constantly boiling water can be rough on a gadget, having triple the warranty coverage of the rest of the pack is impressive.

How the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp has held up

We used the Cuisinart CPK-17 kettle in our high-traffic office kitchen for about a year before the office closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. And in that time we had no complaints. The labels remained as good as new, and the lid always opened smoothly. Since we returned to the office in 2022, the Cuisinart CPK-17 has resumed regular use and continues to perform well, with no wear on the labels.

Alex Vaughn, a Wirecutter product manager, has used the Cuisinart CPK-17 at home for 6 years and counting: “We love it. It is used daily, often multiple times per day. Most often we use the boil option but the other temps do see some use. It’s an absolute workhorse. We have really hard water in our current home and the descaler works well with it too.”

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The Cuisinart CPK-17 did have better accuracy than most of the other kettles we tested (some measured more than 10 degrees off their temperature settings). But we found the CPK-17 wasn’t as accurate at hitting lower temperatures, measuring 8 degrees over when we set it to 160 °F. On temperatures of 175 °F and up, however, it measured only 3 to 4 degrees off, which is pretty accurate. Since this model has a slew of other noteworthy features and has been consistently reliable over years of long-term testing, we’re willing to forgive its minor temperature variances at the lowest setting.

We have received feedback from some of our readers and have seen other reports of this Cuisinart model breaking down after about a year, or of the lid breaking off at the hinge, but those things should be covered by the warranty. In our analysis of online reviews, we also found that the percentage of complaints about the CPK-17 breaking was very similar to the percentage of complaints about the same issue in other kettles. It seems that across brands, a certain small percentage of kettles will just break within a year or two. Though anecdotally, the ones we’ve long-term tested have lasted years.

We’ve also seen a number of Amazon reviews complaining that the labels on the buttons wear off over time. We haven’t experienced this issue with the kettle we’ve been long-term testing, even with regular use, or with the ones we use in the staff kitchen in Wirecutter’s offices. But a couple Wirecutter staffers have encountered the problem with this model. A representative from Cuisinart suggested it may have to do with how people clean their kettles, and they advised us: “The only cleaning solution that should be used is a damp cloth and a mild dishwashing soap. Any other cleaners (Windex, Fantastik, Lysol) have harsh chemicals and may remove the paint/printing.” That said, some folks told us they experienced this issue with their kettle even if they hadn’t used any harsh cleaners (or, as some proclaim, had not cleaned their kettle handle at all). We’re unsure why there are inconsistent experiences with this issue, and based on our analysis of Amazon reviews, we don’t think it’s a widespread problem. But note that you might come across this.

The Breville IQ Kettle is a great-looking kettle that works just as well as the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp , if not better in a few small ways. The catch? The IQ normally costs at least $30 more, and it comes with only a one-year warranty, compared with the Cuisinart’s three.

With a streamlined body, the Breville IQ is unobtrusive on the counter, and the design is more ergonomic and intuitive than that of other kettles. In our tests, it boiled water just a little faster than the Cuisinart and consistently hit the desired temperature. The IQ has five presets, as well as a temperature alert, a 20 minute keep-warm hold, and boil-dry protection. This kettle’s open handle makes it more accessible than closed-handle kettles, and in our tests we found pouring with it was comfortable.

Like the buttons on the Cuisinart CPK-17, each preset button on the Breville IQ is marked with both the temperature and the beverage it’s used for (French press or black tea, for example). But again, not all of the ranges are consistent with our experts’ recommendations. The buttons are on the base of the kettle rather than on the handle, and the text is printed above and below the buttons. (On the Cuisinart kettle, the text is on the buttons themselves, and some users report the labels rubbing off over time.) The Breville IQ also has a soft-open lid that releases steam more slowly and can be operated with one hand at the press of a button.

Overall, the Breville IQ has most of the features we liked from the Cuisinart CPK-17, plus a few others that are a little better, like the open handle and buttons on the base. This is a well-designed, well-functioning kettle. But we didn’t find those additional features to be worth the price hike, especially since review analysis suggests there’s no significant increase in longevity (and the IQ offers only a one-year warranty, versus the Cuisinart CPK-17’s three years). However, we do think the IQ could be a great option for someone who prefers the more streamlined look or who values the more ergonomic design and isn’t bothered by the extra cost.

How the Breville IQ has held up

The Cuisinart GK-1 Digital Gooseneck Kettle is ideal for coffee aficionados who value control and precision in their brewing routine. The kettle’s temperature control is adjustable by five-degree increments, and this kettle was the most accurate one we tested. Its slim and angled spout allows for the controlled, precision pouring necessary for making pour-over coffee. And the rounded handle makes the kettle comfortable to maneuver, resulting in a smoother pour. We also like the attractive matte black finish, which doesn’t pick up fingerprints the way reflective stainless steel does. (It does, however, pick up other scuffs and lint in a way that stainless steel does not. Which is to say: Pick based on what you like!) Target also exclusively carries a matte white version , though we haven’t tested to see how that finish holds up.

The Cuisinart Gooseneck’s controls are simple, with touchpad controls and real-time temperature display, allowing you to monitor the water as it heats. The temperature is adjustable in five-degree increments between 140 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the temperature adjustment is less precise than that of our previous pick, the OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle (which you can set to the degree), it’s still precise enough to brew a perfect cup of coffee or tea. And when you turn it off, the Cuisinart Gooseneck remembers the last temperature you set it to, so you don’t have to reset it every time you use it.

We appreciated that the Cuisinart Gooseneck’s screen displays the temperature of the water as it heats, as well as the final temperature (alternating between the two). This can be helpful if you’re using the kettle for both tea and coffee and you change settings frequently, or if you just like to double-check the temperature. The kettle beeps when the water’s ready and holds the temperature for 30 minutes before turning off. The Cuisinart Gooseneck also has boil-dry protection. If there’s no water left in the kettle, it will beep loudly and repetitively, and the buttons will blink before turning off. All of the alerts are particularly loud compared with those of other kettles, and they cannot be turned off—something to consider if you’re an early riser and you live with people who are sensitive to noise.

As far as the design is concerned, the Cuisinart Gooseneck is made of powder-coated stainless steel with a plastic-covered lid and handle. The matte black shows fewer smudges than unpainted alternatives, and the digital display goes dark while off (except for the power button), so it looks unobtrusive on the countertop. The handle is rounded and comfortable to hold, which facilitates a smoother, more controlled pour. As with most gooseneck kettles we’ve tested, with this model the lid doesn’t open at the push of a button—you have to pull it off manually, which can be tricky when the kettle is hot. Also like most gooseneck kettles we’ve tested, the Cuisinart Gooseneck lacks a water-level window.

Since it’s a relatively new model, there weren’t enough Amazon reviews for us to analyze. But we’ll continue to use this kettle and collect notes from other users. Given the patterns we’ve seen in reviews of other kettles, there’s a small chance that this model, like any other electric kettle, could fail within a couple years. But like our top pick , this kettle does come with Cuisinart’s three-year warranty, which covers typical household use.

How the Cuisinart GK-1 Digital Gooseneck has held up

We recommend the Hamilton Beach 40880 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 spout doesn’t drip when pouring.

We were impressed with this kettle’s speed, which was on a par with that of the Cuisinart CPK-17 in boiling time (it took about 4 minutes to heat a liter of water). 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. Once 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.

When we analyzed the Amazon reviews, we saw a lower percentage of complaints about this kettle failing than we did for any of the other variable-temp kettles we looked at (which might just mean there’s less that can break due to the kettle’s simpler electronics).

In our tests, the spout on the Hamilton Beach 40880 didn’t dribble water when pouring, and the wide handle was comfortable to hold. Unlike some models that require you to open the lid manually, the 40880 conveniently opens with a push of a button located at the top of the handle. This is a valuable safety feature when you’re attempting to empty a kettle that’s still hot. This model also boasts two water-level windows, allowing you to see how full the kettle is, regardless of which way you place it on the base.

The plastic hinges on the Hamilton Beach 40880’s lid are one of its biggest drawbacks. Other models, including our top pick, the Cuisinart CPK-17, have metal hinges that seem more durable. The Hamilton Beach 40880 is covered by a one-year warranty.

To minimize the amount of mineral-deposit buildup in your kettle, always empty it after you use it. You’ll still need to decalcify your kettle from time to time, though the frequency depends on the hardness of your water. Check the manual for the manufacturer’s specific instructions on descaling. Otherwise, we’ve found it’s effective to fill the kettle with 1 cup of white vinegar and 3 cups of water, heat it to a boil, turn it off, and allow it to stand overnight. Alternatively, using half a teaspoon of cream of tartar with half a kettle of water should work. No matter what method you choose, after you empty the kettle, refill it with water only, bring it to a boil, and drain; repeat with water twice more.

Some kettles come with a mesh filter for trapping calcium deposits, and you’ll need to clean the filter periodically—more often if you have hard water. Follow the instructions in the manual for removing the filter, and clean it with a cloth or brush under hot water. For hard-to-remove calcium deposits, let the filter sit overnight in a solution of one part water to three parts white vinegar; rinse thoroughly before returning it to the kettle.

Unfortunately, the longevity of electric kettles can be unreliable across the board. We sent kettles to the Ohio State University metallurgy department, and researchers took them apart to study their components. Based on their initial observations, as well as information from an OXO representative, we suspect that nearly all of the kettles we’ve tested use the same circuitry and temperature controls—most likely produced by a company called Strix . Pricier kettles don’t necessarily have more-durable electronics—you’re paying for looks, construction, and fancier features.

In our analysis of electric kettle product reviews, most variable-temperature kettles showed similar percentages of reviews complaining about the kettle breaking prematurely—within one to two years. However, the percentages of complaints about premature breaking for the simple boiling models tended to be noticeably lower—and this was true for brands on the lower (Hamilton Beach) and higher (Breville) ends of the price spectrum. This leads us to believe that non-variable-temperature kettles truly break down less than their fancier variable-temperature counterparts. Perhaps fewer things can go wrong when all you have is an on/off switch. So if you’re really concerned about not having to get rid of your kettle prematurely, you might opt for a kettle that simply boils. Going even further, you could also consider a stovetop kettle.

If you’re looking for a more modern, minimalist kettle: The Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Kettle Pro is sleek and performs well overall. It’s perfect for someone who values a cleaner look but doesn’t want to compromise on function. It boiled quickly and was pretty accurate in our tests. It also boasts a Cool Touch design, which means you can touch both the body and the handle of the kettle safely and use both hands to pour. But its controls are touchscreen buttons that are visible only when on and illuminated, with the set temperature lit only slightly brighter. We found this difference in lighting difficult to see, so it wasn’t always clear just what temperature setting we were on. It’s also more expensive than most of our other picks (apart from the Breville , at writing time). If you’re not concerned about the visibility issues, though, it’s an attractive kettle that heats and maintains temperature just as well as our other picks.

If our gooseneck pick is out of stock, or you want a stainless steel finish instead: The OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle , our former gooseneck pick, has a flatter handle and a squatter body than our pick, the Cuisinart GK-1 gooseneck. Both of those factors made it just a little harder for us to pour precisely with the OXO kettle in comparison with the Cuisinart model. However, the OXO kettle comes in a stainless steel finish (if you’re not a fan of matte black or white), and it’s still a fast, precise kettle. It also offers a bit more precision, allowing temperature adjustments in 1-degree increments from 140 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (or 40 to 100 degrees Celsius), whereas the Cuisinart model allows changes in 5-degree increments.

If you like a modern aesthetic, and you don’t mind paying more for smaller capacity: The Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Kettle is attractive, and it performed very well, but it’s incredibly small. Due to its 0.9-liter capacity, you’re hardly getting two full cups of tea. The variable-temperature control was very accurate, the settings were intuitive, and the base was nice. We didn’t make it a pick because we don’t find it to be a very practical option, especially for the price. That being said, if you’re regularly making single servings, and you’re drawn to the Corvo’s good looks, you likely won’t be disappointed in its performance.

If you like the Corvo, but you want a gooseneck spout: As is true of the Corvo, the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle performs well, but we found its small size and high price impractical for most users. If you frequently make single-serving pour-over, and you find the Stagg’s silhouette worth the price, you will likely be happy with this kettle. But we think the Cuisinart GK-1 Gooseneck functions just as well, and it’s pretty close looks-wise, for much less. (Fun side note: Both Fellow kettles boast an Easter egg in the shape of a Wormy game, which pops up when you remove the kettle from the base and switch the Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle back and forth.)

If you’d like a budget kettle with adjustable temperatures: The Chefman Glass Electric Kettle has one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on a variable-temperature electric kettle. It’s not as accurate as our other variable-temperature picks, but it gets temperatures close enough that you should still be able to make a good cup of tea or coffee. However, its body is made of glass, whereas our budget pick , the Hamilton Beach kettle , is made of sturdier metal. And, based on an analysis of Amazon reviews, owners of this kettle are more likely to report failure than are Hamilton Beach owners. The Chefman kettle also glows in different colors, based on the temperature setting, which could be a pro or a con depending on your taste (we didn’t care for it).

Variable-temperature kettles

Although the OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Electric Kettle was very accurate in our tests, it had trouble staying closed; as water came to a boil, the lid frequently popped open.

The Tribest Glass Raw Tea Kettle GKD-450-B lacks a button on the handle to open the lid. Its blue light constantly turns on and off until it reaches the desired temperature, something we found annoying.

The KitchenAid KEK1722 Electric Kettle was a runner-up pick previously, but after long-term testing, we were beyond irritated by its excessive beeping. Also, the kettle always defaults to Celsius; for Fahrenheit temperatures, you have to change the settings every time you use it.

Some other models we encountered, such as the Breville BTM800XL One-Touch Tea Maker , were exorbitantly priced. More than $200 is too much to spend on a kettle, especially if it has only a one-year warranty. Even the KitchenAid KEK1522 Pro Line Series Electric Kettle doesn’t have any more to offer than the Cuisinart CPK-17 kettle , which usually costs about half the price.

We were curious about the $260 Aarke Kettle’s all-stainless steel construction and promise of durability, but overall it's not worth its hefty price. The Aarke lacks a stay warm setting and measurement markings, and, at 1.2 liters, has a smaller capacity than our picks. It also got hotter on the lid and spouted more steam than other kettles we’ve tested. We found the faint LED indicator light difficult to read and the alleged beeping imperceptible. And its 2-year warranty is shorter than the Cuisinart ’s 3-year warranty. Otherwise, it performs as well our picks—boiling one liter of water quickly and pouring cleanly.

Gooseneck kettles

The Bonavita BV382510V 1.0L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck , our former budget pick (which is no longer particularly budget), is a small, 1-liter gooseneck kettle that’s lightweight and easy to hold. You can set the Bonavita to any temperature between 140 and 212 °F and it can hold a set temperature for up to an hour—longer than any of our picks. However, the Bonavita takes longer to come to a boil than our picks, and it lacks audible cues to let you know when your water is ready. We removed this kettle as a pick after noticing too many complaints about rust and other durability issues.

The KitchenAid Precision Gooseneck Electric Kettle proved less than intuitive to use. Yes, you can adjust the flow rate on the spout for better pour-over control. But it requires lots of fumbling inside the lip of the machine, so you better make sure you’re operating with a cold, empty kettle. And even though you can set the temperature in 1-degree increments, a thermometer built into the lid is a lot harder to read than an LCD screen attached to the base.

We appreciated the reasonable price, intuitive controls, and clearly labeled temperature settings of the Willow & Everett Electric Gooseneck Kettle . Still, it was somewhat heavy and unwieldy, and the top was tough to remove, which could present a safety issue if still hot. Finally, this kettle’s boiling speed wasn’t great—5 minutes 40 seconds for a liter of water.

Boil-only kettles

The Mueller Premium 1500W Electric Kettle with SpeedBoil Tech had a fairly average boil time (not too different from that of our top pick, the Cuisinart CPK-17). But the base felt flimsy, and there were more plastic elements than we’d prefer. If you get this kettle, it’s fine but nothing special, and ultimately it just boils water. For a little more, you can get the Chefman with variable-temperature control .

The Cosori Electric Kettle with Upgraded Stainless Steel Filter and Inner Lid was almost identical to the Mueller. It had a similar boil time range, a simple on/off switch, and a very similar design. Right out of the box, it had a small discoloration on the top, and throughout testing the lid was finicky to open.

The AmazonBasics Stainless Steel Electric Kettle is one of the most inexpensive options we looked at. To boil a liter of water, it took this kettle the same amount of time as the Hamilton Beach 40880 . But the design is clunky, and we found it less comfortable to hold and to pour from.

The Chef’sChoice Cordless Electric Kettle 681 , a previous budget pick, had one of the fastest boiling times of all the models we tested, but Amazon ratings for this model have dipped considerably due to leaks or auto-off function failures.

The Secura 1.8 Quart Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle did very well in our tests, and it is currently around the same price as our budget pick , but the Secura lacks a water-level window. According to a Secura representative, the small hole on the interior allows steam to reach the bottom interior of the unit, where the temperature control is located. We found, however, that cleaning in between the walls of the kettle would be impossible, so we dismissed this model.

The KitchenAid 1.25-Liter Electric Kettle is cute to look at, with a very retro style à la SMEG, but it doesn’t do enough to justify the price. It has an on/off switch only, with no variable-temperature control. The kettle itself has a sturdy build, very similar to any stovetop kettle, but the base felt flimsy. It doesn’t compete with other kettles in this price range.

The OXO Brew Cordless Glass Electric Kettle costs a lot for a basic kettle that lacks variable-temperature controls and whose glass body is less durable than stainless steel options.

An electric kettle is one of the few appliances I keep out on my counter. I use it almost daily for hot or iced tea , depending on the season. (My current model and our best overall pick, the Stagg EKG Pro Electric Kettle, allows me to brew to exact temperatures for each.) My needs, however, may be different from your own. If you’re a pour-over coffee die-hard, a gooseneck is nonnegotiable (more on that below). If you prefer a French press , the type of spout matters less. Beyond coffee and tea, maybe you just love instant noodles and want a reliable boil when you’re hungry for dinner. Or maybe your stove takes ages to heat up so you want a vessel that can boil a lot of water quickly to decant into a pot.

To find the very best electric kettles on the market, I tested several styles myself and talked to more than a dozen experts about their favorites. I consulted a well-rounded group of people: coffee and tea professionals who are obsessive about temperature control and flow rate, along with regular cooks and other Strategist staffers with strong opinions on how they like their hot beverages. Read on to find the right kettle for you. And if you’re looking for other tools to make your morning coffee or tea, I’ve rounded up the best grinders , milk frothers , and coffee makers , too.

What we’re looking for

Some kettles have a classic, beak-shaped pour spout that dispenses water fairly quickly. Others have a gooseneck: a long, skinny spout shaped like a backwards “S,” snaking its way from the bottom of the kettle out and towards the top. A gooseneck pours pretty slowly, giving you a better handle over speed and the surface area you’re covering with water. This might not matter so much when filling up a mug for tea, but it is imperative for something like pourover, where the stream of water over the coffee grounds needs to be ultra-precise. I’ll also say that even if it’s not strictly necessary for everything, the chance of splashes and spills with a gooseneck is next to nothing.

Temperature settings

Like the type of pour spout, temperature settings are something you’ll care about or not, depending on what you’ll use your kettle for — and, frankly, how nitty-gritty you want to get about it. Some kettles heat to the exact degree you set (technically ideal for both coffee and tea preparations), some have pre-determined temperatures (usually tied to tea types), and some don’t have any temperature control at all. Also, some hold the temperature you want while you go about your business, while others will need to be reheated if they’re left to cool.

Finally, you’ll want to consider how much water your electric kettle will hold. Are you only making one cup of coffee every morning? Do you often offer tea to multiple guests at once? Goosenecks are generally on the smaller side, but you’ll find the exact capacity of each kettle on this list.

Best electric kettle overall

Pour spout: Gooseneck | Temperature settings: Precise temperature control and hold | Volume: 0.9 liters

The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro is the kettle I’ve been using for the past year. First things first: I know it’s on the pricey side and more expensive than most on this list. But I consider it well worth the investment — a perfect marriage of form, function, and durability that makes it truly best in class.  

It has exact temperature control in single-digit increments, plus clearly named predetermined settings for tea and coffee types (which is what I use). While the ultraprecise settings mean it takes slightly longer to reach temperature than other kettles do (it slows down as it gets close to your desired degree to ensure precision), it still takes only five minutes to reach a full boil when filled to maximum capacity. And it holds temperature, too.

I also love the gooseneck spout. The feature is found with multiple models on this list, but Fellow has optimized the flow so water comes out at the perfect rate for pour-over. I don’t personally drink that style of coffee, but having a slower stream of water is still useful: The water never splashes or overflows when I’m pouring, and I have maximum control if I ever need just a little hot water to deglaze a pan while I’m cooking.

The spout is just one of many positives of the overall design: The Stagg EKG is as counter-worthy as it is functional. Its minimal profile, clean lines, and nice color options (I have the all-white) make it what I think is the most attractive option on the market. Kyle Ramage, co-owner of Black & White Coffee Roasters , feels similarly. “It’s sturdy, and it’s eloquent,” he says. I also find the angled handle makes it comfortable to hold and pour at the same time.

If you’re interested in the Pro but can’t spend $195, Fellow still sells the original Stagg EKG model for $30 less. It doesn’t feature the preprogrammed settings (and lacks a few other perks, like the ability to change altitude and language and a chime that sounds to indicate it has finished heating). But otherwise, it shares the look, feel, and functionalities of the updated version. Indeed, it’s the one that many professionals — including tea writer Sara Shacket; Jerad Morrison, co-founder and co-CEO of Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco; and Marco Suarez, one of the owners of Methodical Coffee in Greenville, South Carolina — have been recommending to us since it originally came out six years ago (there’s a reason it’s one of only a few items that have survived countless updates to our gift guides for coffee lovers and tea lovers ).

Best less expensive electric kettle

Pour spout: Gooseneck | Temperature settings: Precise temperature control and hold | Volume: 1 liter

I find the Bonavita nearly as impressive as the Stagg EKG on a technical level. If you go this route, you won’t give up temperature precision in one-degree increments, temperature hold, or a gooseneck spout. It has some predetermined temperatures, too, though it doesn’t actually say what they’re for outside of the instruction manual, which I don’t find as helpful as the Stagg’s markers. Otherwise, my main knock is aesthetic: It’s simply not as sleek as our best overall pick. It’s not bad-looking — just more standard appliance than design object.

The functions are very intuitive. While the Stagg EKG operates via a nondescript dial and display screen, the Bonavita has clearly marked buttons on its base: power, a plus and minus to set exact degrees, and a hold. I also appreciate the comfortable handle and stainless-steel material, which is easy to wipe down so it looks spotless. Ken Nye, owner of Ninth Street Espresso , even thinks the Bonavita has a slight edge over the Stagg EKG, beyond the lower price. “The larger capacity and faster flow rate are both helpful when using the kettle for things other than pour-over coffee,” he says.

Best simple gooseneck electric kettle

Pour spout: Gooseneck | Temperature settings: No temperature control or hold | Volume: 0.6 liters

While the Balmuda (from the maker of our very favorite steam toaster oven ) comes in at a similar price point to the Stagg EKG, it may be a better choice for those who don’t need or want a high-tech option. I think it’s similarly pleasing to look at but has only a simple on-off switch. The water also heats up very quickly, in about two minutes, both because it doesn’t need to home in on an exact degree like the Stagg EKG or the Bonavita and because it’s a bit smaller overall. Still, when full, it makes plenty of hot water for a couple of mugs of tea at a time. The speed also means I can simply reheat as needed without worrying about the exact temperature hold. The spout pours gently and evenly, it’s comfortable to grip, and I particularly enjoy the light on the end of the handle that turns on when your water is heating and off and when it is done. Finally, it has a fitted, rounded base, as opposed to the wider square base of the Stagg, so if you have limited counter space, this design choice can make a difference.

Best less expensive simple gooseneck electric kettle

Pour spout: Gooseneck | Temperature settings: No temperature control or hold | Volume: 0.8 liters

Hario was the original creator of this type of spout, and though more advanced gooseneck kettles have come out since, it still commands a lot of respect, cited by several of the pros I spoke to as a solid choice. Suyog Mody, founder of Brooklyn’s Driftaway Coffee , has had his for nearly a decade. And if you’re looking to get a temperature that will work for coffee, you don’t have to overthink it: “Just boil the water, wait a minute, and then pour it,” he instructs. Mody’s colleague and coffee educator at Driftaway, James McCarthy, is also a fan: “I like the feel of it. It’s easy to handle.” While none of the professionals I talked to called out the look of the Hario in particular, I have to say, I think it’s quite attractive. Former Strategist writer Leah Muncy, who’s an avid tea drinker, owns one and agrees wholeheartedly. “I mean, just look at that little wavy handle!” she says. “Sometimes I just stare at it.”

Best large temperature-controlled electric kettle

Pour spout: Standard | Temperature settings: Precise temperature control and hold | Volume: 1.8 liters

McCarthy called out the Oxo gooseneck as his personal favorite (and price-wise, it’s just about the same as the Bonavita). But Oxo also makes this larger version with a standard pour spout, equipped with the same base as the gooseneck. It allows for temperature adjustments down to the degree and holds that temperature for up to 30 minutes. Of course, the glass body allows you to see how much water is inside, and the overall design is sleek (harder to find, in my opinion, when it comes to the larger models). Finally, the silicone on the bottom of the kettle itself allows you to set it down on any surface without worrying about damage.

Best large simple electric kettle

Pour spout: Standard | Temperature settings: No temperature control or hold | Volume: 1.7 liters

In testing the Cosori, I found that the spout releases a very steady and controlled stream, especially for having a larger opening); there’s no splashing or spilling when I pour. And while I’m partial to the Stagg EKG, the larger volume of this one is useful for batching iced tea, as well as cleaning my sink: I fill it up, let the water get piping hot, scrub the stainless interior of my basin with a sponge, and then pour the water out all over it for a sparkling finish. I like that the kettle is made of glass because I can easily see the amount of water inside, and the handle is sturdy and comfortable to hold, too.

Strategist deals editor Sam Daly bought this same model about eight months ago and has used it nearly every day since. She’s appreciative of the quick two minutes it takes to heat up. “I can literally start the water, grab a tea bag and mug, turn back around, and it’s at a good temperature,” she says. Beyond tea, she uses this large kettle — which doesn’t have exact degree control, but she’s not particular about that — to make oatmeal and to get a head start boiling water for a pot on her stovetop (her range takes forever on its own, she says). And while her previous model would keep sizzling on the bottom even after she poured the water out, “this one automatically shuts off after I pick it up,” she says.

Recipe developer and cookbook author Sohla El-Waylly says this electric kettle looks enough like a stovetop model that one morning her mom (whom she gifted one to) was so sleepy, she literally put it on a burner and ruined it. Luckily, El-Waylly has never done the same with her own in the seven years she’s owned it — but she does appreciate its “old-timey retro vibes,” along with the fact that its “no bells and whistles.” While that means you can’t see the water level and there’s no temperature control, it perfectly suits El-Waylly’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.

Pour spout: Standard | Temperature settings: Precise temperature control and hold | Volume: 1.5 liters

This recommendation comes courtesy of a Strategist story written a few 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 brews tea at custom temperatures depending on leaf type and flavor strength,” Schwartz writes, “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 pièce de résistance 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’s surface to prevent too-bitter brews or totally weak souse.”

If the Breville isn’t worth the investment to you, Shacket recommends this Cuisinart model with preset temperatures for different types of teas. It has a full-boil button for black tea (which is also the correct setting for herbal and rooibos teas), a 190-degree button for oolong, a 185 button for white, a 175 button for green, and a 160 button for delicate teas — 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.

Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo had coveted the out-of-her-price-range Stagg EKG kettle for a long time — but then she saw this equally attractive one and decided to buy it. The design reads stylishly Scandinavian; it comes in a range of pretty matte colors and features a light wood handle. “I just thought it was so nice-looking,” Corsillo says, much more in line with her and her partner’s style than the previous big one she owned with roommates. She also calls the Chantal “blissfully uncomplicated” to use. You simply fill it up and press down on a single button. The cord wraps into the base for neat storage, it holds a lot of water, and it has a comfortable grip.

This foldable electric kettle was brought to our attention by Death Cab for Cutie front man Ben Gibbard, who takes this clever contraption with him when he’s on the road (along with his portable AeroPress ). “When you’re on tour, the first thing you want every morning is a really good cup of coffee ,” he says. “I’d rather make it myself than be on the hunt for it. And this kettle is great because it compresses down and doesn’t take up a lot of room in your bag.” It works with a simple on-off button, which, when on, will automatically reheat your water as soon as it drops below 75 degrees. You can also adjust the voltage at the bottom, which makes it usable all over the world if you have the correct plug adapter.

Your Questions, Answered

Better Homes & Gardens / Maria Ridgway

Electric kettles can be used for much more than just making tea. Kettles are essential for activities such as boiling water for a french press, making oatmeal, heating water for soup or noodles, and more.

Nathan Pocus, co-owner of Domestique Coffee in Birmingham, Alabama, says when deciding on an electric kettle, first consider what exactly you want to use your kettle for. “Beyond that, you can decide between utility, precision, and aesthetics.”

We researched some of the best electric kettles on the market that will fit whatever your needs are. Whether you’re looking for a vessel that makes a satisfying cup of tea or a travel kettle that boils water on the go, we’ve collected a wide variety of products that are sure to satisfy.

Best Overall

Cuisinart cordless electric kettle.

This electric kettle provides high power boiling technology with ease of use.

This product is “cordless,” but this refers to the actual kettle—there is a 30-inch power cord for the base.

We chose the Cuisinart Cordless Electric Kettle - Hearth & Hand with Magnolia as the best electric kettle because of its style, durability, and functionality. 

This stylish and sturdy kettle can boil up to 1.7 liters of water, and the kettle comes with an electric base that allows you to reach 1,500 watts of power. This kettle is fantastic for boiling water for French press coffee , tea, oatmeal, soup, and more. The stainless steel components are easy to operate, and it only takes a few minutes for water to boil. There’s even a concealed heating element that helps prevent mineral buildup.

This kettle also comes with an automatic shut-off function, which activates once boiling has reached peak level. While the product is technically “cordless”, there is a 30-inch power cord for the base. It is recommended to hand wash this kettle. 

Product Details: Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 1.7 liters | Wattage: 1,500 watts | Care: Hand wash only

Best Budget

Elite gourmet water kettle.

This electric kettle holds 4.2 cups of water and includes a permanent water filter.

This kettle is not programmable and does not have indicator lights.

The Elite Gourmet 1L Electric Glass Water Kettle is the best electric kettle for those who don’t want to compromise kettle quality for a lower price point. The Elite Gourmet performs with expert execution without breaking the bank.

The kettle combines glass, plastic, and stainless steel to create an electric kettle that boils 4.2 cups of water with ease and efficiency. The kettle’s design provides a cool-touch handle that allows you to safely pour water. 

Its convenient size fits on any countertop space, and the kettle’s large pour spout has a filter that allows steady streaming pours. The base has a wrap-around cord which allows for easy storage, and the 1,100 watts of power brings water to a boil in minutes.

It should be noted this kettle is not programmable and does not have indicator lights like some models. Despite these setbacks, the kettle is still an affordable option for someone who wants a basic and reliable electric kettle. 

Product Details: Material: Glass, plastic, and stainless steel | Capacity: 1 liter | Wattage: 1,100 watts | Care: Not listed

Best Splurge

Breville the tea maker.

Williams Sonoma

This electric kettle includes several programmed functions for multiple types of tea, ensuring each cup is perfectly brewed every time.

It's designed for loose leaf tea, not tea bags.

The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is a quality product for those able to splurge a bit more to score the best electric kettle. We love that this kettle includes a diffuser, so you can add loose leaf tea. You can also choose what kind of tea you’re making thanks to the preset menu.

This function helps create the perfect temperature based on the particular type of tea being made. There is a button for oolong tea, green tea, black tea, white tea, herbal tea, and even a custom button. The kettle sits on a base that has a customizable brew temperature setting and even shows you the time since brew.

The tea basket and tea scoop are both dishwasher safe, but the kettle itself should be cleaned with a dry cloth or with a water and vinegar solution if stains arise. The design is intended for loose leaf tea in particular, so bagged tea may not have the same results in quality. 

Product Details: Material: Glass, stainless steel, and BPA-free plastic | Capacity: 1.2 liters | Wattage: 1,500 watts | Care: Tea basket and scoop are dishwasher safe, wipe down kettle with dry cloth

Best Gooseneck

Cosori electric gooseneck kettle.

It comes with a pre-programmed base that boils water at various temperatures depending on what beverage you’re making.

It has a matte black finish, so you won’t be able to see through the kettle.

A gooseneck kettle is the best electric kettle to use when you’re making something that requires you to control your pour speed, such as pour-over coffee . The Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle is our favorite choice for those looking for a gooseneck option. The long and slim pour spout maintains a steady stream of water, which helps prevent spills and excess moisture. 

The base has five controls which are set to various temperatures that are ideal for individual beverages. There’s a button for oolong tea, coffee, white teas, and more, which gives you control over how your water is boiled. 

The pot holds 0.8 liters of water and is powered by 1,200 watts. The matte stainless steel kettle also features an alarm that beeps three times when the water has reached its preset temperature, but this can be turned off if preferred. Keep in mind that, because of the modern finish, you won’t be able to see through this kettle like you would with a glass kettle. 

To clean, use a solution made of 1 cup of vinegar and two cups of water. Boil the solution, let it sit for two hours, then pour out and wipe clean.

Product Details: Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 0.8 Liters | Wattage: 1,200 watts | Care: Water/vinegar solution

Dezin Electric Kettle

Available in black or white, this electric kettle has an anti-scalding design to help prevent burns.

This kettle only gets up to 800 watts.

If you have limited space in your kitchen or want to keep a kettle on your office desk , a small electric kettle may be the best option for you. Standing at about 8 inches tall, this kettle holds approximately 0.8 liters of water. This kettle is not only stylish, its size allows for easy portability and storage.

Complete with double-wall technology, the kettle allows you to hold its body without scalding your hand. In fact, it feels cool to the touch even when in use. Its stainless steel design adds to durability, ensuring this kettle will last for a long time.

Complete with a non-splash flexible lid and its sturdy handle, the kettle operates with boil-dry protection and an automatic shut off function to help keep you safe when the kettle isn’t in use. It should be noted, however, that this kettle only gets up to 800 watts.

To clean, combine a solution of one cup vinegar and two cups of water inside the kettle. Boil the solution, let it sit for two hours, then pour out and wipe the kettle clean. 

Product Details: Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 0.8 liters | Wattage: 800 watts | Care: Water and vinegar solution

Best Stainless Steel

Haden heritage cordless electric kettle.

World Market

This stainless steel electric kettle is available in four colors, and it’s dishwasher safe.

It may be a little cumbersome to remove the lid since the handle is directly above it.

Stainless steel kettles are a great investment as steel is the most durable of electric kettle materials. Steel can last for several years when properly cared for, and most stainless steel kettles are dishwasher safe preventing any mineral build-up that may taint your water.

This electric kettle is the best stainless steel kettle for those who appreciate the classic kettle design with a modern twist. Available in four different colors (ivory white, English rose, black, and black and copper), there is an option to match your kitchen style . 

Complete with a base, this kettle lets you know when your water has reached its boiling point with an indicator light. It can boil up to 1.7 liters of water and even comes with a built-in water filter.

The kettle has boil-dry protection, which automatically switches off the heating base when there is no water in the kettle or if the water runs out during the kettle’s use. It is powered by 1,500 watts, and it’s the only electric kettle on our list that is dishwasher safe, adding to its convenience. However, it may be a bit awkward to remove the lid since the handle is directly above it. 

Product Details: Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 1.7 liters | Wattage: 1,500 watts | Care: Dishwasher safe

Best Ceramic

Bella electric ceramic kettle.

This ceramic electric kettle boils water efficiently while also serving a beautiful design.

Though this kettle is durable, it is recommended to hand wash only.

In addition to being stylish, ceramic is more durable than glass and retains heat longer than any other material. Ceramic kettles are also great for those who wish to own an electric kettle that has a little more flair to it than a glass or stainless steel option. The Bella 1.5L Electric Ceramic Kettle is the best ceramic electric kettle for those looking to combine style and functionality. 

The black floral design adds a soft aesthetic to your kitchen area while also providing you with up to 1.5 liters, or 6 cups, worth of boiling water for your teas, French presses, and more. The kettle’s durable and scratch-resistant design sits on its power base that operates with a one-touch function. The base senses when the water’s boiling point has been reached and automatically shuts off for safety. 

Though the kettle is incredibly durable, it’s not recommended for dishwasher use. Instead, hand wash regularly and use a water and vinegar solution to remove any mineral buildup or stains.

Product Details: Material: Ceramic | Capacity: 1.5 liters | Wattage: 1,500 watts | Care: Hand wash and rinse with a water and vinegar solution

Best for Travel

Dreamosa portable travel electric kettle.

This portable electric kettle heats to boiling in five minutes.

It only holds 0.3 liters of water at a time.

For those who are constantly on the go, the Dreamosa Portable Travel Electric Kettle is the best electric kettle for you. Its sleek and stylish design holds 0.3 liters of water, and it comes in three colors: blue, green, and white. The kettle heats to a boiling point in up to five minutes and is powered by 300 watts. This kettle is perfect for tea, coffee, instant noodles, and even hot cocoa.  

Made of stainless steel, the kettle uses double-layer technology that not only helps prevent burnt hands, but it also helps keep the water hot. Once the boiling point has been reached, the kettle switches to a “warming” setting to keep the contents warm. It also has an automatic power-off function that activates when there is no water inside. 

To clean, use a solution made of 1 cup of vinegar and 2 cups of water. Boil the solution, let it sit for two hours, then pour out and wipe clean.

Product Details: Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 0.3 liters | Wattage: 300 watts | Care: Water/vinegar solution

We chose the Cuisinart Cordless Electric Kettle - Hearth & Hand with Magnolia as the best electric kettle due to its convenience, versatility, and affordable price point. We love the sleek stainless steel design, and the base provides 1,500 watts of power for the perfect cup of tea. 

What to Know About Electric Kettles Before Shopping

Material  .

Electric kettles come in a variety of different materials, but stainless steel is one of the most popular materials. When properly cared for, stainless steel kettles can last years. Steel is also often available in multiple colors, like the Haden Heritage Ivory Electric Tea Kettle , so it can complement various kitchen aesthetics. Most stainless steel kettles are typically dishwasher safe. 

Glass is a great material for those who enjoy watching their water boil. While glass usually has a higher chance of staining due to mineral buildup from the water, there are several brands that are made with scratch-resistant glass ensuring that it will last longer. Most glass kettles are not dishwasher safe—instead, they occasionally need a rinse with a water and vinegar solution to get rid of any gross stains.

Ceramic kettles are also a popular material for electric kettles. Not only are ceramic kettles usually more stylish and available in a variety of different designs, they’re also efficient as they retain heat easily and resist corrosion. While ceramic does retain heat easily, it does take longer for ceramic kettles to heat thoroughly, so be prepared to wait for the water to boil.

It’s important to consider capacity when purchasing an electric kettle. The average electric kettle holds up to 1.7 liters, or a little over 7 cups. When purchasing an electric kettle, consider how often the kettle will be used and for how many people.

There’s no need to purchase a huge kettle if you are only using it for yourself. However, if you entertain frequently, a larger kettle may be more suitable. If you travel frequently, a small, travel-friendly electric kettle that holds less water, such as the Dreamosa Portable Travel Electric Kettle , may be the best option. 

Tea Pot vs Electric Kettle

While teapots and tea kettles are sometimes used interchangeably, the tea accessories have different purposes. An electric tea kettle is the device used to heat water for tea. A teapot is used after using a kettle, and it’s designed to steep the tea leaves while extracting as much flavor as possible for the tea drinker.

There are some kettles, like the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker , that come with a detachable tea infuser or another attachment that allows tea to be incorporated into the boiling process. 

Taking care of an electric kettle ensures that it will last for years to come. Not all kettles are dishwasher safe, so be sure to pay attention to the instructions that come with your specific kettle.

It’s also important that cleaning of the kettle becomes a daily occurance. When water is heated in a kettle, the water can leave behind calcium deposits from natural minerals in the water. While this isn’t necessarily dangerous, over time this buildup can affect the taste of your hot beverages and can also damage your kettle’s longevity if not properly maintained.

To prevent stains from collecting, a water and vinegar solution is the most common method of cleaning. Simply combine 1 cup of vinegar with 2 cups of water, boil the solution in the kettle, let it sit for a couple of hours, then rinse and clean with a damp towel.

Can you boil milk in an electric kettle?

Electric kettles are only designed for boiling water, and you should avoid boiling other liquids in the kettle unless specified. 

“[Kettles] are designed for water,” says Brandi Shelton, owner of the Just Add Honey Tea Company. “Not only will your kettle rust over time with other liquids in it, the temperature could get too hot and scald your milk.”

How much do electric kettles cost?

The price of an electric kettle varies depending on what the buyer is looking for. Basic, straight-forward kettles are going to be on the more affordable side, $40 and under, like the Elite Gourmet - 1L Electric Glass Water Kettle . More intricate pieces, such as the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker , can cost as much as $200. It’s important to consider how often the piece will be used, what it is being used for, and your own personal budget.

She is also an avid coffee and tea lover. For this article she spoke with Nathan Pocus , co-owner of Domestique Coffee about what people should look for in an electric kettle.

Brew the Perfect (and Fastest!) Cup of Tea With an Electric Tea Kettle

Posted: September 14, 2023 | Last updated: September 14, 2023

Pour-over coffee and loose-leaf tea lovers, if you're not using an electric tea kettle to boil water for your daily cup (or 12), it's time to steep into the future. Not only will an electric tea kettle give you a shorter boiling time , but certain kettle models can provide a more precise temperature reading and even keep your water hot for up to 30 minutes (or more!)

Kettles also happen to be a great gift – there are myriad options to choose from at a range of prices. The plethora of design-focused options means you can find something that will perfectly match your recipient’s kitchen or coffee stand.

The Best Electric Tea Kettles

• Best Overall: Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle
• Chicest Color Options: Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle
• Best Temperature Range: OXO Adjustable Temperature Gooseneck Electric Tea Kettle
• Best Big Kettle: Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Electric Kettle Pro
• Stay-Cool Exterior: Krups Smart Temp Digital Kettle

What to Consider

While all of the kettles in this guide will eventually pour you a piping-hot cup of water for your coffee or tea, there are a few factors to keep in mind before you buy.

Any tea kettle that holds less than a liter of water is going to be on the smaller side, but that might be the perfect size for occasional tea sippers or parties of one or two (they also tend to be more budget-friendly). However, if you live with multiple people pouring from one kettle, that's a lot of refilling and waiting around for more water to boil. Kettles at the top end of 1.5L+ boil lots of water quickly to satiate the masses.

There isn’t a “wrong” style of kettle to choose, but the shape may dictate your overall water heating experience. Gooseneck-style kettles are great for a more controlled pour when blooming your pour-over coffee or loose-leaf tea but can get a bit laborious when time is of the essence.

The controlled pour can also cause spillage out of the lid if you pour too quickly. Larger cylinders tend to solve that problem but at the expense of some additional heating time. As you’re shopping, it’s important to consider how much tea you’ll actually be brewing and the cadence at which you want to pour water.

Temperature Programming

Many of these kettles have programmable temperature ranges. This could mean that you can press a button to boil water specifically for green tea , turn a dial to get the precise temperature or program your own custom temperature setting.

Even if you don’t plan on using this function, many kettles that offer it also have a “hold temp” button that keeps the water’s temperature right where you’ve programmed it for a certain amount of time — so if you’re back in just a few minutes for another cup, the kettle will be just as hot as when you left it. Cheaper models may not have either of these functions, but they’ll still do the job. This is one of those features that doesn’t seem like a big deal at first use, but over time, keeping tea at your preferred temperature becomes a bit of a luxury.

We love using electric tea kettles because they save time, they free up the stovetop, and they won't project an ear-splitting whistle to get your attention. Sound good to you, too? Check out our guide to the best electric tea kettles of various sizes, shapes, and functionalities.

How We Selected

I drink a lot of tea. Most of my mornings start with a cup of responsibly sourced green or black tea, and I’ll often cap an evening with a warm or iced peppermint leaf blend. As much as good, high-quality tea is important — you can quickly ruin that experience with a water kettle that’s erratic in temperature or pours too fast.

For the last year, I’ve been using the Fellow Stagg Kettle (a winner on our list), and I tested a couple of additional models to get a better sense of the updated options on the market today. Where the variation comes in is through size and how efficiently kettles heat up water. The programmable features are nice, but at the end of the day, all you really need is dependable hot water when you want it.

1) Electric Gooseneck Kettle

The COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle is powered by five preset temperature settings, so if you like drinking different types of tea, this model makes it easy to choose the best temperature for each kind.

Just fill it with water, turn it on, and select one of the preset temperature buttons. The kettle will beep three times when it’s ready, and if you’ve hit the “hold temp” button, it’ll stay right at that temperature for up to an hour before shutting off automatically.

I've used this electric tea kettle at home for several years, and it’s the one that I consider the best overall for daily tea drinkers who value convenience and precision (along with good looks) above all else in their kettle. Its.8-liter capacity holds just a little more than two mugs’ worth of water at a time. It’s not the largest electric kettle available, but for a solo steeper like myself, it’s plenty.

The only drawback I've found is that it's hard to wash oil spots off of the kettle's matte metal build, so keep this in mind if you plan to use it near your stovetop (those oil splashes are inevitable).

2) Stainless Steel Portable Electric Hot Water Kettle

The affordable AmazonBasics electric tea kettle may not have all of the bells and whistles, but for those who just want to boil water for coffee or tea without fussing with the temperature, it'll do just that.

This kettle is available in a 1-liter model, and it is equipped with a push-button, locking lid, and immediate auto-off function. It also features a BPA-free plastic viewing window.

3) Tea Maker Kettle

An integrated tea leaf infuser essentially eliminates the need for a separate brewing system, and keeping the whole process in one unit keeps things nice and tidy. Breville’s Tea Maker takes things a step further by using a magnetized shaft to automatically lower and raise the basket based on a preferred brew.

We weren’t necessarily sold on this tech from the start, but it ended up being reliable and efficient. It handles just about any tea with ease, and you can program it to brew exactly the strength and style you like.

We also liked that there really isn’t much setup involved. Breville asks that you run a full kettle of hot water to prime the system, and that’s it. The display is easy to read, and the buttons are well-placed. The only downside is that tea leaves tend to stick in the basket, which can make cleaning a bit cumbersome, especially if you’re looking to dump leaves in a countertop compost bin. A small obstacle for what is a great tea kettle overall.

4) Enfinigy Cool Touch Electric Kettle Pro

Not only does this kettle satisfy big crowds, but it does so with efficiency and poise. The kettle heated up even its full 1.5-liter cavity fairly quickly and can do so at six different temperatures.

We also liked how great it looks on the counter with a fully digital display that disappears when not in use. The larger handle was among the most comfortable we tested (a necessity for those early mornings when we’re not fully alert), and the lid opening is engineered to not put steam directly in your face.

Be sure to read the directions for this kettle, though, as some buttons serve more than one function, and it’s easy to find yourself keeping water warmer for longer than you intended.

5) Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle

It's great when the kitchen appliances that you love to use are also lovely to look at. For the best tea kettle to give front-and-center placement for everyday use, you can't do much better than the Fellow Stagg EKG Gooseneck Kettle.

This kettle is available in seven chic colors, while pretty much every other pick in this guide comes in just one. The physical design of the kettle is decidedly modern, making it a nice complement to newer homes with sleeker lines. It also has precise temperature control with a clear LCD display right on its base, along with a brew stopwatch, so you can get a precise steep every time. It holds.9 liters of water, so it's not big, but if you don't mind refilling, it's a great one to have.

6) Adjustable Temperature Gooseneck Electric Tea Kettle

If specificity is everything to you, this stainless steel electric tea kettle from OXO lets you program your boiling temp to the exact degree between 104 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. No other product in this guide is equipped with a temperature range that wide!

The kettle is also equipped with a timer that lets you keep tabs on your tea steeping or pour-over coffee. Pair it with a mug warmer , and you'll always have a brew that's the perfect temp for you. Just note that every time you turn it on, it'll start from the lowest temp — it won't remember your last setting.

7) Smart Temp Digital Kettle

Nearly all tea kettles, electric or not, are incredibly hot to the touch as they roll to a boil — but not this one. This stainless steel electric tea kettle has a unique double-walled construction, so the exterior stays safely cool.

We love the futuristic features of this 1.7-liter kettle, too. It features a side LED screen listing the five preset temperature settings available, as well as the current temperature of the water as it's boiling.

Easily program it from the buttons on its handle, then wait for the beep when it's done. The water can be set to stay hot for up to 30 minutes at a time.

8) Glass Electric Kettle

There's something mesmerizing about watching this borosilicate glass tea kettle start to bubble to life on your countertop. As it heats up, the blue indicator lights at its base begin to slowly glow brighter.

Great for serving numerous tea drinkers at once, this electric kettle holds up to 1.7 liters of water, heats up within 5 minutes of switching on, and also shuts off within 30 seconds of its peak boiling. It also happens to be the only kettle on our list with a usable app to control temperature.

9) Travel Foldable Electric Kettle

While this probably won't be your everyday electric tea kettle, this collapsible silicone kettle will ensure that nothing stands in the way between you and a piping hot cuppa when you're traveling.

It’s non-programmable and tiny, only holding.6 liters — but it folds down for packable portability. Though the convenience factor is nice, just make sure you switch it off after using it — there is no auto-off function.

10) Melior Gooseneck Water Kettle

Even though it lacks temperature controls, we like that Bodum's electric tea kettle is an attractive yet affordable gooseneck-spout option. It looks great on the countertop and is a cinch to operate just by flipping a switch at its base.

It boils water for about two mugs of coffee or tea at a time, which is ideal since it also shuts off automatically after it reaches a boil. The cork handle and lid are both stylish and practical, as cork is a heat-resistant material that makes for safer handling.

How do Electric Kettles benefit you?

In today's hectic lives, an Electric Kettle is a convenient device to have. You can heat water in a matter of minutes without having to deal with the hassle of utensils and stoves. And if you stay in a region with a lower temperature, an Electric Kettle will also heat water faster than a stove.

Electric Kettles V/S traditional methods

Boiling water is usually a tedious task. You need to fill a utensil with water, place it on a stove, keep an eye out for how hot the water is, and turn off the gas when you are done. Unlike the traditional method of heating water on a gas stove, heating water in an Electric Kettle is easy and consumes less time. All you need to do is add water to the kettle and turn it on. Once the water starts to boil or reaches a pre-set temperature, the kettle will automatically shut off.

Different types of Electric Kettles

Electric Kettles are available in all shapes, sizes, and colours. From tall to rounded, wide to cylindrical, you can find one as per your liking. Steel and glass are the two commonly found base materials in Electric Kettles. While stainless steel kettles are durable, thermal-treated glass kettles are known to be stylish and elegant. They also come with two types of bases - detachable and non-detachable. A detachable kettle is considered easy to use as the heating base can be separated from the kettle, making it easy to move the kettle around.

How to choose the right Electric kettles online for you?

The best Electric Kettle for you is the one that meets your requirements to the T. Depending on how much water you need to heat at a time, you can choose between a kettle with anywhere between 1 litre to nearly 2 litres. Another useful feature to keep in mind when you buy Electric Kettles is pre-setting the temperature, in case you don't want to boil water but just heat it. The water level indicator, Keep Warm function, pour-friendly spout, and a handle that stays cool are some other features to consider before zeroing down on your choice. Electric Kettle prices are pocket-friendly and depend on the model, brand, and features of the machine.
