Kettles
Kettles differ in capacity, heating controls, spout design and the materials used for the body and interior. Match the size to the number of cups you make, and check whether temperature selection, keep-warm settings or easy-pour handling fit your routine. Consider cord storage and cleaning access, too.
What to check before you buy
- Choose a capacity that suits your usual number of cups.
- Check whether the temperature controls match the drinks you prepare.
- Inspect the lid opening, water-level markings and access for descaling.
A trade-off worth considering
A larger kettle can serve several people at once, but uses more counter space and may encourage heating more water than needed. Extra temperature settings add flexibility, though a simple design may be easier to operate.
