I wish Lisa talked about temperature controls with the chosen kettles as well as the goose-necked kettle (which only should really be used for coffee/tea). I find one of the most important things I want in a kettle is the ability to control the temperature. Helps keep teas and coffees from scalding in too-hot water and allows for controlled temperatures for things like making standing crust pies.
@Wu Me Look for "variable temperature" in the product description. :) Some models are able to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.
Patrick Ellett : variable temp is also necessary for making green or oolong tea. Green tea especially is ruined by boiling water, bitter and with all the good nuances gone. 170-190 degrees is best, depending on the tea type. Oolong needs a temp between green tea temp range and boiling. I drink mostly green tea made with loose tea leaves in a ceramic teapot, so an electric kettle that only boils is of no use. I'd like for them to review variable-temp kettles. As you point out, heated water at a range of preset temps is far more useful than only boiling water.
@@catherinehubbard1167 Agreed & I can't find any glass with plastic or silicone - I would like only glass and stainless if needed. Frustrating search.
@@lmittel Just remember glass is much more dangerous with boiling liquid. I'm not bothered by stainless steel and markings on the inside of the steel to know how much water you put in. Can not break like glass if something hits into it for example. Not sure why Lisa or anyone needs to see completely through a kettle to understand how much water is in there.
@@helpfulnatural there’s no way to know if the temperatures are accurate before buying it if channels like this are only testing for super simple things like “does it rock on its base” or “can I see how much water I’m putting in it”. Tea shouldn’t be made with boiling water, it releases too much of the oxygen which tea needs to brew. If the controls aren’t accurate, it’s a waste of time having to return it.
All stainless or all glass interior is most important to me. ANY plastic being exposed to heat or even steam is instant disqualification. It's a huge pain to find kettles that fulfill that single requirement.
Did you find one?
I'd love to see a longer version of this video with more details.
I purchased the winner almost 2 years ago and we use it three times a day for coffee. French press and sometimes for a quick pour over. I haven't had a drip machine in 5 years once I learned how easy it was to brew it that way. Oxo products are usually your best bet and luckily, there's always so many great Oxo finds at Home Goods because it can get a little spendy to buy it all up.
No comment about anything other than boiling? Many teas are best breed at lower than boiling temps. No comment about temp selection out how accurate they were? I am surprisingly disappointed in this equipment review.
You and me both. Very disappointed by its top-surface review. Detailed information was sorely lacking.
i have a glass one and if i want, i can easily stop it before it comes to a full boil, which is 212°. you can use a candy thermometer if you want to more precisely select a sub-boiling temp. same as if you boiled it on the stove or in a microwave.
@@bahedbanger but for a teapot over $30 you shouldn't HAVE to do this. There should be a temp setting.
@@healinggrounds19 this is a review of tea kettles

NO! For once I say no! I am tired of glass carafes requiring careful handling all the time, - dont bump it when its hot! set it down GENTLY its still glass, dont scratch it, it leads to thermal cracking, clean the water haze off so it looks nice on the countertop; worst, once the glass is broken, chipped or damaged you have to buy a whole new one! Thats why my Hamilton beach stainless steel kettle will be my workhorse! Fill it, trip the switch, a blue light goes on inside the water window, light goes off when its in a full rolling boil. Clean the inside like any other stainless steel saucepan. A practical workhorse. (I drink a lot of tea) Its hot water not a souffle!
My goodness, they are not that delicate. You would have to be reckless to damage a glass one.
I have a Hamilton Beach steel kettle too. 10 years old, still works flawlessly. Only issue is the plastic around the lid handle got brittle a few years ago.
Glass looks prettier, but I wouldn't trust it either.

From the Coffeemaker Chronicles of the past 10 years, we cracked 1 glass caraf bumping the edge of the granite countertop ( it was full of hot coffee having just finished a full brew) while reaching for coffee cups overhead. It had to have been a freak accident, right? Or so we thought... Until the replacement was accidentally knocked out of the dish drainer jostling for room among baking sheets and saucepan lids during a washing up session between batches of cookies. It did that slo-mo bounce across the island before skiddering over the edge and shattering on the tile floor! Mouth agape, elbows deep in soap suds at the sink, I felt a Curse had descended upon our House. The restaurant supply store where we found the 3rd caraf said the next one ' will be on us'. Ah, but go back deeper into the archives...The "Original" Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker of a certain vintage decade didnt offer replacement carafs... so Joltin' Joe DiMaggio got more of my money one christmas when my family, embarrased that I would humiliate them over christmas dinner by pulling out the antique percolator over buying a whole new, pricey, Mr Coffee gifted me a brand new coffeemaker to jerk me back into the 20th Century. You would have thought they were accusing me of pulling hot stones out of campfire and tossing them into grinds and water, in a bowl fashioned from green palmetto fronds. The French Press only comes out on special occasions. I've taken up chai tea drinking.
I havd two of the Hamilton Beach electric jettles. They work well and heat water quickly. They're also highly rated online.
seriously? really?
Two brand new glass carafes from new Mr Coffee broke from just normal handling. Both that broke DID NOT HAVE THE METAL BAND around the lower part. The old one did have one. Went back and got the model with the BANDED carafe - that was about 10 yrs ago. I still use it - just like the first (old) one. 🤩
Really lackluster review video, you focus on the speed of the water boiling but... Many people who buy these use it for teas and coffee mainly a facy I'm sure you are aware and to not mention the kettles that have temperature settings, their accuracy or pouring etc is a let down. Hopefully you have another video coming for these types of kettles, i.e. The kind we actually buy and use.
Yes exactly!!!
Spot on. Why have kettles with specific features like goosenecks and not even touch on that aspect? No mention of temperature settings, or even accuracy of non full boil temperatures? It's like comparing a range of different types of knives based on comfort of the blade and handle for smashing garlic.
Amén!
@@RUT812 Literally 99% of people who use kettle don’t even know they have temperature settings unless you’re some tea enthusiast.
Aicook Electric Kettle 1.7L Glass Tea Kettle, Smart Tea Maker with To The Degree Temperature Control, 100% Stainless Steel Inner Lid, Infuser & Bottom, Auto Shut off & Boil Dry Protection, BPA free available on Amazon $69.99 or there's about
You really should have mentioned the gooseneck kettles and why you might want one over the favorites. (pour over coffee)
Agreed. That's a major oversight. I bought the Bonavita for that feature alone.
Ditto. I watched this round-up a little while ago and did some more research, and ended up replacing my broken Bonavita with the OXO gooseneck pour-over kettle. (maybe I can still fix the Bonavita, but I like the Oxo a fair bit more)
Sounded good based on the intro, but then you never covered the details you said you investigated. What about that taste test? How did they hold up after 1 year test use? etc. Seems a lot was left out.
As a english tea drinker, the things i look for are
How many watts (3kw = best)
If it has a cordless base (don’t need to unplug to fill, 360 degrees base is the best type )
How easy it is to fill under tap ( tall can be problematic )
If there's a washable lime scale filter ( a lot of hard water in UK )
Able to see the waterline is a nice feature
Do the ones you recommend only have one temperature setting? That feature is crucial to me for making different style teas
OXO has a new one with different temperature settings. I’m a big tea drinker but, prefer there regular one. Most important thing with tea is to steep it for the right amount of time. Most black teas and hibiscus teas steep for 5 minutes. Most green teas steep for 3 minutes. Japanese Sencha and Japanese green tea with matcha only steep for two. I let my water cool a bit in mug for green tea. English black tea I make in tea pot, I use boiling water. I use three teaspoons of loose tea and two tea cups of water. I get my loose Japanese green tea from Harney & Sons in NYC. They have a website as well as store.
I really love my Cuisinart kettle. It boils to specific temps, has a sturdy connection to it's base, and is NOT glass. I do not like the glass kettles. They are fussier.
I instantly recognized my Cuisinart kettle and was waiting for Lisa to say it was the best.
Normally agree with atk reviews but electric kettles are something I use between 5-10 times per day (British, drink tea non-stop). Glass kettles are a pain, delicate and show water spots which make it look dirty even when clean. Bigger isn’t always better, you’re making tea (or coffee) so how much water do you really need - 1 to 1.5 liters is fine. A sizable window is all that’s necessary when combined with an internal LED light. I like oxo products, but that looks like an overpriced fussy pain that isn’t even very quick - granted, they do take longer to boil in the US but nothing about that kettle justifies more than $50 at most.
I’m a big tea drinker, I’ve had my OXO 10 years now and love it. Very sturdy and easy to clean. I descale it with white vinegar.
I feel like they always recommend OXO.
It'd be suspicious but every product they sell on Amazon has at least 4/5 stars.
I thought it suspicious too but anything by OXO I have I have been pretty satisfied with.
They recommend good quality stuff like OXO and AllClad.
Peter Musante oxo is amazing
Always oxo. Yes. Always the most expensive. This could have been more detailed too
@@TraceyBoyland Not "always" the most expensive on ATK. However, "you get what you pay for" is pretty damn accurate with most things in life.
you missed an important part. no matter what type of plastic used, if any, ends up flavouring the water and slowly disintegrating within a year or two. had expensive brand kettle that upon inspection plastic parts literally started breaking into small pieces after two years use. no more plastic parts kettles for me, not even lid.
Some kettles let you choose a range of temperatures to bring the water up to. Do you recommend any that can do this? You end up not wasting more energy than you need (if you're particular about tea/coffee which need temperatures below boiling for optimal flavour). Also some kettles have minimum fill levels of 2 cups, which is too much if you're only brewing single cups of drinks at a time.
The cuisinart perfectemp does. I've had mine for 6yrs and it's still going strong. I highly recommend it!
I've been using a Cuisinart TEA-100 for about 6 years and it does have 6 or 7 selectable temps.
This is helpful but a nice feature would be double walled for efficiency and to help avoid burning yourself on the boiling hot pot.
My most frequent use of an electric kettle is to prep hot water for making tea with loose leaves in a teapot. What's important is that it cannot be too hot. While black or herbal teas (or coffee) require boiling water, I drink mostly green tea, which requires 170-190 degree water. (The best temp within that range varies with the tea variety.) But NEVER use boiling water for making green tea. It will be horrible, bitter, absolutely ruined. So it would be helpful if you would review variable-temp electric kettles, the only kind I can use for making green tea. Oolong tea is also harmed by boiling water; a temp between the green tea range and boiling is optimal.
OXO does have a new one with variable temperature settings.
It’s funny, I just got a new kettle, and my criteria were pretty different. I wanted to be able to fit my hand in it comfortably, to put eggs in without fear of cracking, and I *wanted* steel sides, with no window, so I could safely cool the sides with water to clean in the event of a mid-boil egg crack. OXO is awesome, but I’ll stick with my...well some brand I’d never heard of from Amazon. Maybe I’ll regret it if it burns out soon, but so far, so good
Oh, and I’m surprised she didn’t talk about being able to set temperature, or “keep warm” features!
Jesus fucking Christ 80$ USD for a kettle. I hope it's the best one at that price.
I've gone through three kettles over the years, all for pour-over coffee. The goose necks are by far the most controllable and accurate when pouring hot water.
i have a 1.7 quart Oster I bought at Kroger for $15. its plastic, no temperature controls and a small vertical window with measurements. and it works great! I've had it for 6 years. I always take the reviews with a grain of salt, what a professional kitchen needs isnt necessarily what i need.
You should never have to reach in to clean an electric kettle. You should only be boiling water in them, and when they have calcium buildup, they can easily be cleaned using vinegar, which will dissolve the calcium within a minute or two, depending on the acidity of the vinegar used.
I appreciate you guys doing the research. I have wasted a lot of money and filled too much space in our landfill with products that were worth neither. I haven't been let down by your reccomendations yet. Now, if I can find your equivalent for products in other rooms of the house. . . . .
Random idea,
have you guys ever thought about doing a segment or series about setting up your kitchen? My friends daughter got her first apartment and her setup was a mess. When she mentioned she couldn't cook, I jumped in. "Half your problem is your kitchen set up. You shouldn't have your pots, pans and cooking utensils 3 steps or more from your stove. Your spices are to far away. Your baking stuff should go on the far side of your work bench so its handy to put what you prepare on the counter in them. . . .~deep inhale~ also. . . . .." when I got done she said, "I don't know where anything is?" I told her, "stand in the place you need it and it will be within reach". A week later she called me, "Auntie! I made my boyfriend dinner last night and I didn't burn ANYTHING!" LOL not everyone has an auntie Lark.
is this channel sponsored by OXO or what is the deal here ?
Disagree here. The Bonavita Temperature controlled gooseneck kettle ticks all boxes for me.
Gooseneck - perfect for coffee pourover and tea.
Temp control - preset settings are ideal for different types of tea, coffee, etc.
Stainless design - Can’t see inside, but also won’t shatter.
Some kettles might boil faster, but what’s is an extra 30 seconds when you get more control, and temp choices?
I love my cuisinart kettle. Sure it has a dinky window to see the capacity but that is literally the only flaw. It feels secure, has a wide lid with a soft opening and it pours gracefully. It has a wide range of temperatures for different types of tea, too! And I find that very important.
Oh, and I have used mine at least once daily for going on 6 years now. It's so good I bought a second one for the office.
I want an electric kettle, but i have no idea why. I drink maybe 5 cups of tea a year. I use a keurig for coffee.
But i really want one
Lol
I use mine all the time. Getting water ready for pasta takes half the time in the electric kettle. I use Better Than Bouillon base instead of cartons of broth. Need broth - fill the kettle! Ramen? Electri kettle! I cannot recommend boiling eggs in an electric kettle as Alton Brown suggested in Good Eats.
@@melissarey2973 May I ask what brand of kettle you have?
@@jeanetteh.9240Right now i have the Secura 1.8L Stainless Steel Double Wall Electric Kettle.
I was not into spending $80+ on a kettle. And I don't like the glass ones that ATK testers seemed to like because the exterior gets HOT. I prefer a stainless steel carafe with an insulated exterior. The Secura one I use has large markings inside that are easy to see, the lid opens gently with a wide opening for filling or cleaning. Admittedly, I bought whatever had 1,000 or more reviews averaging to 4.5+stars on Amazon that was under $30 and met my general design specifications.
@@melissarey2973 Thanks so much for the info--I'm sold!
Hello all.
I really believe if you had included the COSORI Electric Kettle, also 1.7L, you would have picked it instead. The top isn't as tapered, affording a wider top for pouring in the water or such. You seem to like the wider-the-better thing- lol. Also, the one I purchase was less than $40. All the main features; glass, slow opening lid, 'cordless', very solid feel putting it down either on the base or on a table/trivet. I absolutely LOVE mine, which I bought at Amazon.com, and three others who purchased on my recommendation are now my NEW BEST FRIENDS! ha ha
My friends wants to know how long the two main 'stars' of the show have been a couple. We all here think they are both very nice, beautiful young women. Please give us a bit of background, such as how the two met.
Thank you so much for what you provide... ALL of you who 'do your thing'.
A couple?? They mention many times their husbands..
What about energy?
In the spring and autumn a kettle in a household with 3 or more dwellers can be the highest consuming appliance of electricity..
There are vacuum kettles with small electric heating elements that consume a fraction of the electricity of these kettles.
They keep a relatively high water temperature for boiled water for several hours.
They are more expensive initially but save more money on the long run.
I don't know where you live, but powering these small 11-1800 watt appliances for 10 minutes cost around 10 cents here in the western U.S. Either you live somewhere with unreasonable electricity rates, or you are extremely cheap
Brendan Stanford I am very cheap.
I make at least three to four cups of hot coffee or tea each day. In addition, I boil water to make hot chocolate or hot soup. This means that I boil a kettle about four times a day.
Now, in my cheap home there are several other cheap people doing the same at different hours of the day, and each of these cheap souls boils water in the kettle each time.
Assume each person on average boils water in the kettle three times per day, and assume there are four people living in the house. The kettle is, therefore, used 12-times each day in this assumed cheap home.
In one year the kettle is used over 4,000 times in this assumed cheap home. If the heating element takes 1,500 watts, then over 1,000 kilowatts are used per year for boiling water. At 10-cents per kilowatt this is an expense of $100 per year.
The expense is not large, but an efficient vacuum kettle would cost $30 per year.
More importantly is the source of your energy. If you are really cheap like me, and you live off grid, then you have a finite amount of electrons at your disposal each day, and minimizing waste might make the difference between boiling water and cooking a roast in the oven, and being cheap in this case might make a difference between drinking and eating or just drinking.
@@ek9772 lol.
In your case, I do understand where you are coming from. If I was off grid, I would be tracking every watt and would want everything to be as efficient as possible
Brendan Stanford yeah. I got to watch those little electrons not getting wasted everyday.
What brand do you recommend?--have you used? have you replaced for what reason?
Thanks for enlightening me!
I have purchased 3 Capresso electric kettles and loved them until they stopped working. The 1st one lasted the longest which is why I bought another. It seems the quality went downhill. Trying to contact the company for help was impossible. It truly was a great kettle when it worked and easy to clean.
Same experience. Good kettle, but I didn't buy a paper weight. Contacting is an awful experience. No refunds for a bad product. Only another repair fee. It's $20 to ship back and repair. Capresso is garbage.
I had a Capresso and the temperature was never right. Then I the second one I bought was even worse, half of the time it would just kick off and leave me with tepid water. My Breville has been working every day for two years, has temperature settings that are accurate for popular beverages. The only thing I really hate about it is that it beeps constantly. Every time you pick it up, place it down, turn it on, when it finishes, if you bump it, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEP. It's really annoying and serves no purpose to beep every time you pick it up or set it down. I'm surprised by how slipshot this review is. Did the cameraman have only 3 minutes of time to film?
The Capresso is an awful kettle.
I am NOT paying $75 for a hot water kettle that doesn't even have a temperature control setting. Many teas do not require being boiled to death. Perhaps I want my miso bloodwarm. Also, noise? How long does it take to boil? Warranty? I really expected a better review from this channel. Do it over again.
I'm debating whether or not to buy one of these. I've read mixed reviews for them, with most complains of them failing within a year. Is there such thing as a reliable kettle brand that can last 5+ years? I don't have money to burn.
I’ve had my OXO now 10 years. It’s 2024 now and my kettle is still working.
Lisa McManus is by far the best host for America’s Test Kitchen, other hosts just don’t measure up, she’s the reason I have subscribed to this channel.
It's great that you finally found that special someone. I hope you'll be very happy together!
Lisa isn't a host. Julia and Bridget are hosts. Lisa is the gadget guru.
I’ve had my OXO glass kettle for 10 years now, and still working. When the filter inside broke, I decided to get another OXO, and store the other one away. About the Capresso kettle, after the lid breaking off on two of them, I switched to OXO.
I usually have a high regard for your reviews. But why would you recommend any kettle where the boiling water is in contact with plastic parts? Surely that's a clearcut strike against any model?
I found the Capresso to have a weak plastic cover hinge which WILL break in short time. The lid is NOT replaceable and the company knows this, and so offers a full replacement pot with shipping for $35 if you call to complain. Once broken the pot will not boil without cover in place, causing a steam burn when pouring. They should be recalled and design changed.
I bought mine for 14.95 in Walmart. Its stainless steel and boils 32 oz of water quickly in about 3 min. I would not buy glass. My is cheap and efficient and does not give an off taste. $65 is ridiculous.
Whoever does 300 boils for review is a hero and we should celebrate them.
I would have liked sound to be included in the test. I'm on my third electric kettle and they have all been irritatingly loud. My cheap dishwasher is quieter.
OXO is quiet and I’ve had mine 10 years. It’s now 2024 and still working.
Glass is the worst choice! I would have gone through 5 kettles from accidental breakage. If they want to recommend glass than I want a breakage test include. The "little window" is easy to use so long as you can clean it from time to time.
For a free review I hear lots of compliments from the peanut gallery 🤨
Happy Lisa is back :)
Happy Lisa isn't as fun to watch as Furious Lisa!
I use a saucepan on the stovetop. Because I'm a maverick.
I use the microwave 😁
@@GlobalAdventurer A fellow maverick!
@@CaptainFabulous84 👊
I put a cup of water out on the porch in the morning and by the afternoon the sun has made it lukewarm, just the way I like it. Of course there are sometimes bugs in my lukewarm tea.
@@ananouri3583 😂
This is helpful. I've been considering buying an electric kettle recently.
I've used a Chefman for just about a year. It's around $40 and I have one at work and at home. Heats quickly, glass, easy to see and clean. Comes with an infuser but I don't use it.
If all you want to do is boil water and you're very careful with a hot glass carafe, then I'm sure the OXO is a fine choice. However, if you're like me and you need hot water at specific temperatures to brew teas and coffee, then you'll want a unit with an accurate temperature gauge. Also, I don't mind not seeing the exact water level, so I'd prefer a safer metal carafe. Overall, a rather dull and disappointing review. You've done way better Lisa!
OXO always rates well. Priced favorably, they produce easy to hold and use kitchen item from peelers to tea pots.
PS, Lisa, your a total pro!
would it be possible to add where/what country they are made in?
I love the oxo electric glass kettle i just don't know where its sold
Redo this episode with kettles that have specific temperature settings.
I tried buying to the OXO kettle twice (the one with temperature control) both times they created water that tasted AWFUL. The water tasted and smelled like plastic. I cleaned them several times. Ran white vinegar though them 10+ times. After all the effort, the water was still terrible. Haven't tried buying another one since.
Boiling 4 cups of water in the microwave takes less than 6 minutes in my pyrex measuring cup. (I've only ever had superheating problem once. )
Would these be better to use for making coffee than drip machines?
French press, pour over etc
What kind of kick backs do you get for recommending oxon so much?????😢😂
Temperature controls and pba-free not mentioned - the 2 factors I’m interested in!
Why doesn’t the video report the other test results, such as taste test? And what was the brand and ranking order of the other kettles?
It is not important to see the water level inside. I can boil slightly more than I need and measure the hot water. A glass kettle could shatter. I've refilled my hot metal kettle on many occasions without cooling it down first.
You got my subscription! Can’t wait to add the oxo to my vanlife 😊 hope it is power efficient though (I use Jackery battery)
Hello from ALGERIA 🇩🇿 🇩🇿, this is amazing channel, thank you for the video
365 cycles? At the rate I go through tea, that's a week or two tops.
THANK YOU, looking for insta-boil for french press and for insta-bowls
It drives me crazy that ATK and NYT have decided that they need to watch their water boil. When you fill your kettle, you know how much water you are putting in it, why do you need to see the water in a glass container to know how much is in it? Also, why do you care how much is in it? All you need to do is fill it with enough water for whatever task, not some precise amount. ATK still seems to advocate for nonstick pans as well, buying into unproven claims by the plastics industry that new PFOAS products are somehow safer than old Teflon despite not being regulated at all. All stainless surface for safety ought to be a higher priority for ATK.
The runner up, Capresso sell for about $40 at Tuesday Morning. At one point Bed Bath and Beyond sold it for the same price, but now it's higher.
Can we get an updated list?
I agree, I don’t want breakable glass in my kitchen. Why didn’t you give results of all the models you tested? Especially the non glass ones. Did the models withe the thin spouts work easier when making coffee with a pour over cone?
Best Kettles is one you put on a gas stove! When electric goes out you'll still have a cup of coffee.
Definitely! I use FireMaple Kettle for out doors.. in doors as it's only Anodized Aluminium and that's it! I replace the water every use and it's cheap (around $20:-)) and will definitely out last any electric crap. The water tastes much better than the plastic ones, and for the glass ones they taste the same but one wrong move and they are gone. Love my kettle. Perfect without any BPA-ulshit. :-)
They aren’t mutually exclusive.
@@LlyleHunter correct! Just another brand name of a popular metal kettle. Just s.
I've had the capresso like 8 years and it still works great.
Thanks!
Best one for cooking noodles
OXO again for the win! Not surprised.
Especially during the winter we leave a tea kettle on the stove most of the day on very low burner to have hot water all day. Do these use less energy and can they keep water warm all day?
You did not indicate model of your chosen machines thoroughly enough for me to be certain I'm buying what you tested.
I’ve had the OXO kettle for 10 years and it’s now 2024 still working.
Um what...? They talk about kettles as if they’re a new discovery. Americans don’t have kettles or something?
Oxo won. What a shocker. Not.
Electric coffee pots should not be see through. What kind of person times when boiling water anyway?
I bought the Capresso and the lid spring broke within a year of owning it. What do you recommend for 2020 best tea kettle especially for doing pour over coffee, or does it not matter?
I had the same problem with lid breaking off. Get the OXO kettle very sturdy with slow automatic pop up lid. I’ve had mine 10 years now. It’s 2024 and still working. Easy to clean and descale. I use white vinegar to descale.
I also would like to know about water temp/ for green/white/herbal/black teas?? Do any of these models have temp. control?? I bought one at Tevana years ago. It is big and bulky and was very pricy.
I'm looking for a two cup kettle. Cannot find one.
MUJI makes one.
Did not show the switch arrangements, top on handle or lever at bottom ?
Can we have a bit more than what could be product sponsorships??
I noticed that they like allot of the Oxo brands, pretty cool that I don’t have to buy the most expensive
This review does not live up to your usual quality. This product segment is so much wider than tested. Have a Breville tea pot. It’s awesome. Temperature settings for several types of tea, can be programmed, built like a Rolls-Royce, and the most handsome appliance in my kitchen. Please bury me with it, don’t want to be without a really good hot cup of Earle Grey or English Breakfast.
Totally agree on the glass vs. metal debate. So, why oh why did I buy a metal one??? Everything else about it is great, all the necessary features mentioned, but you can't see inside easily without taking the lid off. Then there's steam...sigh.
You can get good ones for just over $20-$25 now, we're on our second one as they can wear out from heavy use with hard water. Love the glass ones.
Great reviews! Thanks !
The oxo does come in a variable temp
Review tortilla presses and Masa Harina flours
They've done them before. I would tell you to check their website but a lot of content there is for paying members only.
That ending!!
Was the Glass Kettle made by Casori tested? Also, what was the best buy or #2 on your review? It's not in the video discription. Thanks
These are just summaries of the full review. You can generally find the full review with all of the kettles they tested on their website.
Do NOT get the Capresso H20. Absolute garbage kettle. In 5 months, we've replaced it twice. And with only a 30 day return policy, we can't even get a refund. For a $60 kettle, it shouldn't come with a $20 shipping charge for repairs.
Beware the Capresso, it's awful and should not be recommended.
Hello thank u good tip 🤗👀
Have reviewed a panini press?
Love the ATK videos. This one helped me out.
I really love my Breville electric kettle.
SO glad 'what's his name (chris) is gone, now I will subscribe again. As for the electric kettle review, I wish you said something about the temperature they hold at for tea and French Press.
They seem like great kettles, according to your criteria (except, DID any of them produce "off" flavors?). But, NO GLASS. Why should I pay $80 for a kettle that I have to look out for? What happens when it falls over, empty, on granite? The Krups one is a no, but I have a metal one (with a water gauge) that has survived 10 years (and counting).
The OXO is not very good. It weighs a ton and the handle is poorly design for leverage. It will break your wrist trying to lift and pour. I also found that its tall design makes it slow to heat, there is not much water surface area in contact with the element. Finally it is ridiculously expensive, $84. I found the Luukmonde to be much better. It is lighter, easier to pour, and heats faster. Plus it is only $30
Legit got this after watching a Pikamee kettle noises video I kid you not. TH-cam has upped their recommendation game I see
Lmao same
