One of the simplest housekeeping duties is to boil some water. Heat the water in a pot or kettle, wait a few minutes, and you're done. If you don't regularly drink tea or coffee, you might not understand why someone would require a particular device for the task.
Due to their ease, speed, and accuracy in heating water, electric kettles are preferred by many coffee and tea drinkers over traditional kettles.

Advantages of Using Electric Kettles
For many customers, their few significant advantages make them more than worth the price:
Speed
Water in an electric kettle boils more quickly than on a stovetop or in a microwave. This is a significant selling factor in favor of electric kettles if you place a high value on efficiency or want your morning cup of coffee to be ready more quickly every day.
Ease
You add water and click a button. Electric kettles with more functions and temperature settings are typically rather simple.
Efficiency
Compared to a microwave or a conventional stovetop kettle, electric kettles require less energy to boil water.
Precision
The flavor of some teas can be greatly affected by the temperature at which they are brewed, even though this won't matter to everyone. Anyone who enjoys oolong or green tea will like the ability to adjust the water's temperature.
Things to Consider Before Buying An Electric Kettle
Consider a few factors in your hunt for the ideal electric kettle if you've determined one would be a good addition to your home or workplace.
Temperature Gains
The biggest benefit that most individuals who adore electric kettles point out in their admiration is the speed they provide. If accelerating the process of preparing tea or coffee is one of your key motivations for purchasing an electric kettle, you should pay extra attention to models with a strong reputation for being quick.
While most electric kettles take three to four minutes to boil water, others claim to be able to heat a mug of water in just 90 seconds. To discover if the kettles you are considering life up to the claims made by the manufacturer in the product description, check reviews of the kettles you are considering.
Any electric kettle should be quicker than your microwave or stovetop kettle, but you might be picky when comparing various brands.
Options
Electric kettles' speed may be a great addition for tea enthusiasts to their major benefit of precision.
The optimum temperature at which tea should be prepared depends on the tea consumed. Boiling water is, therefore, not the best method for enhancing the flavor of green, white, and oolong teas, even though it may work well for black tea.
For coffee, a temperature below boiling is also good. Again, many consumers may be unable to distinguish between coffee brewed with boiling water and coffee brewed with water that is just a little cooler. Still, those who are particular about creating the best cup of coffee will be able to taste the difference.
If this feature is important to you, seek a kettle that allows you to select multiple temperatures, and be sure the options include the degrees you'll need. Some inexpensive tea kettles don't offer variable temperature settings.
Price
Electric kettles that are basic and have few functions start at $15. Models with greater storage and quality might cost close to $100. One of the models in the $15–$30 price range should be adequate for your needs if you want a kettle that will quickly heat tea and you're not too concerned with long-term reliability.
Going for one of the more expensive models is generally a better choice if you want varied temperature settings, high-quality materials, and a higher chance that your electric kettle will last a long time.
If you want to reap the rewards from smart technology without paying the premium, EVVR Energy Monitoring Smart Plug can do all the wonders. Optimize your appliance usage with a power consumption meter and control it through a smartphone application!
Size
When it comes to size, there are two basic considerations to take into account. Capacity is the first. Do you regularly brew drinks for a group of people or just a single cup of coffee or tea? Before deciding, evaluate your demands and compare them to the capacity of the electric kettles you are considering. Most electric kettles have adequate ability to accommodate many cups, although some portable options have a lesser degree.
Counter space is the other significant size issue. Every new item you add to a smart kitchen needs a place to go, and most kitchens only have so much available counter space. Measure the area of your kitchen where the electric kettle will be kept before purchasing. It is preferable to know in advance what you have space for rather than buying something that won't fit.
Convenience
Electric kettles are typically simple to use. One of their key selling factors is that. However, some can be simpler due to features or design choices.
If speed and ease of use are your top concerns when purchasing a tea kettle, you could find a basic, feature-free model that is easier to operate than some more expensive models. Make sure you pick a model that makes choosing the desired temperature simple if you enjoy the extra features that higher-end machines provide.
It will typically be simpler to operate an electric kettle that is cordless or has a detachable cord than one that requires constant proximity to an outlet. Additionally, even the most forgetful customers won't have to stress remembering all the minor details if the kettle has convenient features like a keep-warm setting and an auto-shutoff.
EVVR Energy Monitoring Smart Plug is a convenience champ for smart appliances. It is a nifty device that gives you all the benefits of smart living without spending extra money.
Best Electric Kettles of 2023
Beautiful by Drew Barrymore One-Touch Kettle
One of the six hues is surely available for this reasonably priced beauty that will look stunning in your kitchen. There are no buttons or knobs to detract from the elegant aesthetic because all touch controls only emerge when you need them. You won't have to worry about scorching your fingers because of the stay-cool plastic exterior of the double-walled stainless steel kettle.
White tea (165 degrees F), green tea (175 degrees F), oolong tea or coffee (195 degrees F), and black tea/boil (212 degrees F) are the four predetermined temperatures. Additionally, you can adjust the temperatures in five-degree increments by pressing the plus/minus button. In case you decide to brew yourself a second cup later, the kettle will maintain your selected temperature in Keep Warm mode for 60 minutes after you reach it.
Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle
If you're serious about making pour-over coffee, you'll need a pour-over dripper or carafe, a coffee bean grinder, a digital scale, and a gooseneck kettle. The gooseneck plays a crucial role in ensuring an even, gradual pour. This makes it easier to ensure that all the coffee grounds are evenly moistened, allowing the coffee to bloom and extracting the full taste of the beans.
The Cosori is a reliable, reasonably priced gooseneck kettle that costs around $70. You may set the kettle to the desired temperature by pressing a button. There are five different temperature settings for other tea varieties and one for coffee. This is one of the few electric kettles that beeps when the water reaches the desired temperature, though you may turn them off. The 1,200-watt kettle warms four cups of water to the desired temperature in just about four and a half minutes and maintains that temperature for an hour. You'll adore the Cosori kettle if you enjoy pour-over coffee and tea.
KitchenAid KEK1222 Electric Kettle
I'm reminded of a typical stovetop kettle by this little darling. Fill it, set it on the base, and then push the lever—it couldn't be much easier. If you don't care about intricate features and want a stylish appliance that heats the water quickly, this is the one you want. The five available colors are Pistachio, Empire Red, Onyx Black, Matte Black, and Brushed Stainless Steel. The single-walled construction has a slim, portable appearance. A replaceable mesh filter that captures scale deposits for cleaner water is the single "extra" feature; it occasionally needs replacing. It's not among the least expensive options at $80. However, it's a great purchase if you adore the style.
Breville Tea Maker
This is a repurchase from our initial testing and (still) makes for a great indulgence for a seasoned tea drinker. The 51-ounce Breville, which costs $300 and has a stainless steel base, is technically a kettle but also a tea maker, making it the most elaborate electric tea kettle we examined.
It has hot water and tea buttons with temperature settings to make green, black, white, herbal, oolong, or special and delicate teas at the ideal temperature. Additionally, you can choose whether you want your tea to be strong, medium, mild, or flavored. You can see what the brewer is doing on a digital display, and it features a keep-warm button that keeps your water hot for up to 60 minutes.
