Regardless of the number of things a kettle can do, its main function is to heat water. We poured 500ml of water into the Fellow Stagg EKG and set the temperature to 203°F (95°C). The kettle heated the water to that temperature (from an initial temperature of 80°F (27°C) ) in two minutes, 20 seconds. However, our testing demonstrated that the Fellow Stagg EKG retains the temperature for several minutes. For example, it would lose about 1C of heat after a minute and 3C after three minutes, which is excellent. That means you shouldn’t have any concerns about pouring water that’s cooled too much as you complete the brewing process. Built-in TimerThe app’s basic function is appealing, as it's uncluttered and gets out of your way; there’s no fiddling with settings. But that also means functionality is limited. I would’ve liked to be able to set a timer—start heating my water in 30 minutes, say, and send me a notification when it’s at 180 degrees. Or the ability to hold the temperature for 10 minutes instead of 60. By providing Authority to Leave you agree that the parcel is deemed to have been received when left at your premises. Even though you’re only boiling water in your kettle, you’ll occasionally want to make sure you’re removing any built-up scale residue. Kettles with a large opening may let you fit your whole hand into the pot for cleaning, while a smaller opening might require a brush. Some stainless steel kettles are also prone to rust if not properly maintained. More often than not, you can make pour over coffee in two to three minutes. Once you’ve brewed the coffee, the temperature will have fallen by a few degrees by the time you pour, affecting the brewing consistency.

It pours more slowly than the Hario Bueno. It will take time to fill your French press. Also, if you use the kettle for other things, you will need to be patient. However, it is perfect for all drip coffee brewing methods, including Hario V60, Chemex, and Kalita Wave. No stovetop is needed with this kettle—just press the dial to get the water started. The dial also allows you to set a target water temperature from 57 to 100° C, with the reading on the LCD display.

The thin, perfectly curved spout gives you complete control over the speed and placement of your water pour, enabling you to saturate the grounds evenly and achieve a more balanced extraction when making pour-over coffee. Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Kettle Pro: There were several things I really liked about this kettle, including its cool-touch exterior and smooth-walled interior, which made it one of the easiest models to clean. It performed decently, as well, but it feels noticeably bulkier than the winning models, despite having a smaller overall capacity than most of them.

The thermometer is fastened to the lid and has a shaded area over the optimal brewing temperature of 195 to 205 degrees. Customers add that the spout has a consistent flow rate and is easy to maneuver. There's also a great deal of praise for the handle, which is sturdy, ergonomic, and always stays cool to the touch. Ready to bring home a new electric kettle? Here’s what you want to consider while shopping to make sure you bring home the best option for your water-heating needs. Capacity Wash the inside of the kettle with soapy water and rinse. Never submerge the kettle in water or other liquids. If you frequently drink tea or make coffee with your kettle, it’s often worth spending a bit more on a model that offers variable temperature control. These kettles allow you to adjust the water temperature based on the drink you’re preparing—for instance, green tea is best brewed at 175 degrees. “If you use a higher heat on a green tea, it could singe the leaves, leaving you with a very bitter taste,” explains Donaghey.

Stagg EKG’s PID controller steadily maintains the perfect temperature as efficiently as possible. BREW STOPWATCH At minimum, all electric kettles can bring water to a boil—and if you opt for an inexpensive model, such the Cosori Electric Glass Kettle, that’s all the kettle can really do. This may be sufficient for casual use, but if you frequently make tea or coffee, you may want to look for a variable-temperature kettle. It's no surprise if you need help with choosing an electric kettle. In fact, I test appliances for a living and I’m surprised electric kettles aren’t more popular in the U.S. So, these appliances are a learning curve for most.
