ChefmanElectric Kettle - 1.2L 1500W Hot Water Tea Pot with Infuser, BPA Free, Auto Shut Off, Boil-Dry Protection, Removable Lid, LED Light, Cordless Glass Electric Tea Kettle – Stainless Steel

I love this kettle! Heats up fast, stays warm for about 30 mins before it starts cooling down. I use it for loose leaf teas and it’s perfect for that. It’s so convenient, doesn’t take up much space. Easy to stow away when not in use. I wish the was a hook or something you could place the actual plug into, it just kind of hangs out of the bottom. I have to wrap it through the handle, which is fine. Great value for the money! Quality kettle and functional.

I grew up always having access to a kettle and I honestly forgot how convenient it was. There is only so far a microwave oven will get you when you need some boiling water. I have recently been getting back into tea, so I now have a selection of various green, black, and herbal teas. Brewing these teas using a microwave can be very inconvenient, particularly with loose herbal teas.This kettle is reasonably well-designed, although I feel that the infuser attachment could have been better thought out. The infuser works extremely well, but it attaches to the lid using a couple of relatively delicate bits of plastic and I forsee these accidentally getting broken. I really like the base and how the kettle can be rotated. The handle is comfortable and thick and you don't need to worry about your fingers touching the hot glass when you pour.I was really surprised at how quickly this kettle brings water to a boil, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it's quicker than a microwave for the same quantity of water. When infusing teas, the temperature selection is easy and intuitive. I didn't need to check the manual to figure out the buttons, but I did check it for recommendations on the temperature to choose for some of my teas. Some of my teas require a full boil, others want a lower temperature for the best flavor extraction.I have brewed two loose herbal teas and two "bagged" teas and every single one of them turned out better than anything I have produced with the microwave - particularly with loose teas. The fine mesh of the infuser combined with the mesh in the pour spout means that the vast majority of the tea dust stays in the pot and doesn't end up in your cup.I like this pot so much, that I'm not even going to take a star for the infuser attachment design.

I absolutely love this tea kettle. It is very handy. The water boils quickly and I love the infuser. I make loose leaf tea and use tea bags and I have used it to boil water since it is so quick and efficient. The infuser is bendable so it needs to be handled carefully so as not to dent it. But other than that I cannot say anything bad about this. I recommend it.

Overall, these electric kettles are great. They are inexpensive, heat fast, look great, and are fairly reliable. I had a previous model that lasted nearly 10 years before the sensor gave out suddenly. The one key difference is this - the previous Chefman electric kettle I had would automatically shut off after bringing the water to a boil despite the temperature not reaching 212F/100C. I live at 6,800 feet / 2,000m in Colorado, and water boils at around 204F degrees here. This model does not shut off when the water boils at a temp lower than the textbook boiling point of water at sea level. So whereas before, I could press the button and walk away, and come back in a few minutes ready to brew my tea, now I have to hang around.Furthermore, the old model had more choices for temperature settings (as low as 105F) and after I brewed my tea I could set it at a lower temp to keep it warm. This model only has settings for 175, 185, 195, 200, and 212F.

I absolutely love this electric tea kettle! It heats up so quickly, which is perfect for my busy mornings. The best part is that it has multiple temperature settings, making it super easy to brew different types of tea at the perfect temperature. I also love the added feature where you can place loose leaf tea in a separate piece, making the process even more convenient and mess-free. I use it as part of my daily routine, and it’s made tea time so much easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves tea!

I use this kettle everyday. I love the temperature adjustments and it IS faster than boiling water on the stove. However, it can take 2-3 minutes to boil a full kettle. Not sure why some reviewers say it will boil in seconds. They must only be using a small amount of water.

The heat up is almost instantaneous. Does turn off when at temperature. It stopped to boil that is. Careful not to touch sides it is hot🔥. Handle is great. The lid is easy to open and clean the steeper comes off easily and cleans well. The taste is clean and no floaters. I would buy again.
