Lots of Good Kettles
We have tested many kettles, but not all models are suitable for a high spot on the top. Here are some others that work well, but nothing stands out.
Art and Cook Electric Glass Teattle for $43: When I first unboxed art and baked electric glass gettle to bake, there was a red flag: typos on the box and instruction manual. That makes me a little hesitant, but my experience in the last six months has been absolutely great. There is no led light like the COSORI to indicate when it is boiling, but it holds less water (1.8 liters as opposed to 1.7). It has an automatic shutoff feature, but overall, I found it a little slow to boil.
Banavita Digital for $130: This kettle is similar to the stagg EKG I tried but a little less expensive. It has a gooseneck spout for precise pouring, a temperature dial, a display, and a 0.9-liter capacity. You have the option to program up to five presets for your most used temps.
Bistro Tile X Haden 1.7 liter electric kettle for $128: This counter is beautiful, with two exterior tile style options that make you feel like you’re in a Parisian coffee shop. There is a power switch and a temperature gauge on the front to let you know how hot the water is. You cannot prevent it as much as other electric kettles, and it does not maintain heat as well as double-space options, but it is prohibited. – Nena Farrell
Try these tea accessories
You will find many recommendations in our Ultimate Guide to Tea Accessories.
Oxo Brew Tea Infuser Basket for $15: This is our approach for making loose leaf tea. The stainless steel is strong and doesn’t impart any flavor to the brewing process, and the hole pattern does a solid job of keeping the little bits out of the hot water. We love that the cap not only stays warm but also doubles as a serving tray.
Kotubuki matcha tea whisk for $24: If you are a Matcha fan, this is a great whisk to have on hand. Equipped with 80 bamboo bristles, it helps create a good temper that brings out all the bright, grassy notes for a delicious cup of Matcha.
East Fork mug for $44: These are expensive, but they are thought of. Wired Product Reviewer Jaina Gray says They “feel sturdy, with a soft spread that’s big enough for most hands and feels smooth and balanced when you pick them up.” They also come in a variety of fun colors (weather options included). You can buy a mug oa Four packs for $150.
Hydro Flask 32-ounce wide mouth vacuum flask for $50: Wired Senior Editor Michael Calore uses it to keep fresh beer warm in the afternoon. Even after four or five hours, the tea remains hot. He considers this a very important thing for those who drink their tea on the go. For more options, be sure to check out our guide to Best travel accessories.
