Black Friday Kettle Deals Capacity comes first and it is worth sizing down rather than up. A 1.7 litre jug is the standard and suits most households, but a one litre or 1.2 litre kettle boils faster, uses less electricity per boil and takes up less counter space, which matters if the kettle is mostly filling one or two cups. Rapid boil elements cut the wait on a full jug, and a water window with clear markings is what stops people over filling, which is the commonest waste in any kitchen. Variable temperature control is the feature worth paying for if anyone in the house drinks green, white or oolong tea, since those are ruined by water at a full boil and want 70 to 85 degrees instead, and it is equally useful for coffee brewed by hand. A concealed flat element rather than an exposed coil makes descaling far easier, which matters a great deal in the harder water areas of the midlands, and a washable limescale filter in the spout is worth checking for. Beyond that, look at the noise, since a quiet boil model is noticeably better in an open plan kitchen, check the lid opens fully enough to fill and clean, and check the handle and spout balance if the kettle will be lifted full by anyone with a weak grip. Cordless kettles on a 360 degree base suit left and right handed use equally. Variable Temperature Kettles Selectable temperatures rather than a single boil, which is what makes delicate teas and hand brewed coffee work properly.
