I use this to heat water for my coffee pour through. Previously I had to hear water in the microwave to get it up to 200°. This takes water from my Instant Hot, which is at 175° and heats it to 200° and keeps it there, all in about 2 minutes.

DO NOT buy a remanufactured product from this company. It came broken right out of the box. The liquid level window leaked immediately and it didnt even work. I later buckled and bought a brand new one and havent had a problem with it. In this case, you get what you pay for.

I drink a lot of tea and specially in the morning i dont want to fuss with a thermometer to get the right water temperature. the preset for white, green, oolong, black, boil are great and fit mostl recommended temperatures for high grade loose tea.

We purchased this kettle a month ago after having purchased a new Breville toaster shortly beforehand. We have never owned a Breville product prior to this, but we are very happy with what we have seen so far.

Have used this kettle daily (often several times/day) for the better part of a year and it has worked flawlessly. Good value for a quality product.

Great kettle, different water boiling settings for tea/coffee, extremely quite jug, no residues in the bottom from water

boiling settings quiet

I've had this kettle for about 9 months now and it has it's good and bad points. Good: Looks fabulous! Lots of temperature/heating options. Fast boiling time. Bad: Noisy - have to turn the TV up when it is on.
