I’m a tea addict which makes me a tea kettle expert. Trust me – I’ve tested scores of kettles, both stove top and electric, over the years. I tend to be partial to electric because nothing beats the auto-shut off feature they all have. But the Hamilton Beach Variable Temperature Kettle is in a league by itself and at a price that’s unbeatable.
Firstly it’s a true 1.7 liter generous carafe – not 1.5 or 1.2 or pretending to be a 1.7. That means you refill it far less often. Two, it’s gorgeous, with its statuesque glass cafafe and soft blue illumination, which I for one find especially comforting when making a midnight cup of tea or cocoa. It has a 30 minute keep warm option, a boil dry protection and has cord-free serving which allows you to top off the tea pot without dragging a cord beside you.
But it’s greatest feature is its easy to ready, 6 options in water temperature allowing you to make green, herbal, black, oolong, white, delicate or 200F French Coffee Press water. The small different in each temperature is the difference between good tea and superlative tea.
Last and not least for those tepid about a glass kettle, it features a 5 year warranty!
