Works very well. I use it to heat water to make single cups of coffee, so needed to be sure the water came to a high enough temp, yet not boiling. I
keep it at work where I don\'t have a stove nearby. It\'s pricey, but serves the purpose.

Awesome kettle, and well worth the money! Use the variable temperatures for different teas and cold press, or just boil water for oatmeal or black tea.
The hold feature is great for a second cup! Well-made kettle.

This is the best electric kettle I've ever owned. And I've owned quite a few. Fast, quiet, and it keeps on working! Bought one for my daughter who cannot remember to turn the stove off when heating water. She thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Married to an English man, we make a lot of tea. In fact, the only time they are not making tea is when they are drinking tea. Or sleeping. So I've tried a few electric tea kettles in the past. They've broken quickly, had off-tastes, been unsafe, etc. So I stayed with an old fashioned stove top kettle. When that died, I knew I wanted to try for an electric again. I know Breville's products, they are very well made. So I gave it a chance. The other settings on this kettle really do make a difference. I've not had any problems with it like other reviewers have said. No residue in the water (that reviewer possibly had poor water?), someone else said they burnt their knuckles on it. I don't see how this is possible because you can see there is a heat proof area around the handle, so that must have been bad luck on their part. Good solid product. If you drink a lot of teas, go for it! I also suggest watching the Breville video of this product. (As with any electric kettle, do not leave water in it overnight, etc or you may get extra build-ups of minerals. So far this kettle is still whistle clean.)

This is the most useful water kettle ever! It has specific temperature settings to perfectly brew different types of tea or you can just boil water for oatmeal or cocoa. A quality machine.

As a tea lover, my daughter knew she could score extra points with me by giving me this kettle. The correct water temperature is crucial for each type of tea and this kettle has all of the right settings to create that perfect cup of tea. Yes, she did get extra points because I love it!

This is the best water kettle ever. I bought it for my tea snob boyfriend, so his water is always at the exact right temp -- without using a candy thermometer ; My favorite things about it are that you can set it down on the base in any direction you want, it has water level windows on both sides, and the lid slowly lifts up when you touch the button to fill it up. It's awesome. Really. That said, It looks good on the counter, does its job perfectly, holds the water temp, and is ready for me whenever I want to make french press coffee....

I did lots of comparison shopping before ordering this Breville Kettle. I chose it because of the variable temperatures and the hold feature. It did not disappoint. Making tea is now very simple and much quicker for whatever type of tea I am making. This is a great appliance and I'm 100% happy with my choice.

If you are a tea drinker/lover, this is the PERFECT tea kettle for you. No more worrying about brewing tea to the right temperature or only doing everything at boiling. This kettle has options for Oolong, Green, White and Black tea - it will get the water to the perfect temperature for whichever tea you’re in the mood for. Plus it has a "stay warm" feature which allows you to
keep the water warm in case you have to step away from it.
