Good Lifestyle

If I had to choose a "can not live without it" kitchen gadget, it would be an electric kettle. I start every day with a cup of black coffeetea And finish it with a relaxing peppermint tea (with at least some other drinks throughout the day), and tea is the first thing I offer to guests when they visit my apartment.

So when it was time to choose a new electric kettle this winter, I took the question very seriously. If you use a kitchen gadget almost every day, you want to make sure you have the best of the best. After recovering experts from the experts and clients, I reduced my list to three kettles. I used each one week and invited my colleague from friends tea loving to try them as well and give me their comments.

Although none of the kettles disappointed, I had a clear favorite. Without further delay, here are the best three kettles of the year, starting with the one we officially crowned the best electric kettle of 2019.

The best feature of this kettle is that it has six different predefined heat settings, so you can steep tea at perfect temperature depending on the variety. Just one click on a knob of the kettle handle. The options are 160 degrees Fahrenheit for delicate teas, 175 degrees Fahrenheit forgreen tea, 185 degrees Fahrenheit for white tea, 190 degrees Fahrenheit for Oolong tea, 200 degrees Fahrenheit for French PressCoffeeAnd "boil" for black tea. This comes very convenient when you have a guest who drinks a tea that you are not familiar - instead of a frantically google to find the right temperature so that their tea is just right, you have the information at your fingertips.

The boiling function can also be used to make noodles,groats, broth, andinstant cocoa If you want to act, so you have a lot of bang for your money with this kettle. If the water comes to a boil and you are busy, do not worry - it keeps the hot water for 30 minutes.

I also love this memory functionality of this kettle - it allows the kettle to be raised from its base for two minutes up to two minutes without stopping or even losing its place in the brewing process. And I did not have to use the boiling protection feature, she gave me the peace of mind to know that if the kettle started heating without enough water, she would turn off automatically so to avoid any damage.

My final verdict is that this kettle wins the gold medal with its range of temperatures, consistency and user-friendly interface. And the kettle comes with a three-year warranty, if your experience will be less stellar than that of mine.

I will admit that I was initially attracted by this kettle because of its great look. I like any gadget that gives my kitchen an extra color and this model is in red and pistachio. But, of course, this is only an extra bonus. More importantly, this elegant kettle gets the job and is super friendly.

Although this does not have the same range of temperature options as the Kettle Cuisinart, he always heated the water quickly, softly and exactly to my taste. The kettle has simple controls, a removable base with a 360 degree rotation, a smooth aluminum handle that remains cool and a spout. Thanks to its key activation button and completely removable lid, it is easy to fill and use.

In addition, this kettle is small enough that you can display it on your counter when you do not use it. (If your kettle is high quality and aesthetically nice, you could also allow it to double as a cute cooking accent.) This compact size of the kettle is also perfect for those of us who do not have a lot of Space in our kitchens. And its wrapping cord base means that your counter will not be cluttered with excess strings.

The KitchenAid kettle does not have an adjustable temperature option or an automatic shutdown function like Cuisinart. So it's a simpler option. If you are a serious tea aficionado, I would like to make follies for Cuisinart - but it's a reliable alternative, easy to use, affordable and elegant. And the kettle comes with a one-year warranty, if you need it.

For the bargaining hunter who does not want to sacrifice the quality and functionality, this amazonbasics kettle is where it is. After trying the cuisineart and KitchenAid tape considerably more expensive, I will be the first to admit that I did not expect to be impressed by this one - but I am happy to point out that I was wrong.

Of course, it does not have as many high technology features as my first two choices. But its functionality, its size and appearance earned me, and it is a great option for anyone looking for a basic and affordable electric kettle.

This kettle is light, heats the water very quickly, and I like the sweetness how much it flows. After a week of using the kettle, I did not have to handle a single incident of drops or reversal when I poured my cup of tea. (And for a klutz like me, it really says something.) Like the KitchenAid kettle, it's compact and its cord wrapping into a coil, so it takes a minimum space on the counter.

I also give these major bonus points from this kettle for its automatic stop functionality. We already have enough second stress - guess if we turn off our stove or our hair straightener, so the last thing we need is to add our kettle to the list of items we are afraid can burn our house while we go out .

Whatever your budget, you can not go wrong with these three electric kettle options.
