Some tea and coffee drinks require boiling water, and some others dont. Using boiling water on coffee for instance, burns the coffee granules and gives it a bitter flavour. With the EK42 kettle you can avoid this problem by boiling your water to less-than-boiling temperatures. Not only does it make your drink taste nice, it also saves energy too. Do you feel like most electric kettles are too noisy for you? Well, this Ascot’s quiet-boil kettle does not only boil your water quietly but also does so in an eco fashion. What caught our attention first is that it is BFA-free. And we are so glad we chose to review it! The 3000W makes it possible for the kettle to boil water faster than the traditional models. It has a large capacity of 1.6 litres and a 360° base to suit all types of users or kitchen plans.

Store excess boiled water in an insulated flask or bottle – I’ve started to do this when I work from home. Any over-boiled water goes into a thermos flask or my insulated Chilly bottle to be used later on. It works perfectly.

SAFE FOOD-GRADE 304 STAINLESS STEEL & BPA-FREE: The interior and body of this kettle is made completely of food-grade 304 stainless steel with zero plastic touching your water. High-quality stainless steel kettles are your best choice for the perfect brew, being very durable, rust-free and easy to clean. In addition it’s 100% BPA-free for peace of mind.

The main reason it made the list of all the kettles we reviewed, is that it’s fantastically eco-friendly. It saves energy using the rapid boil function, keep-warm mode, temperature control panels, and 1 cup boiling option. It also gives you 3 pre-set tea settings. The auto shut-off ensures the kettle shuts-off as soon as the water reaches boiling point. A kettle without this function will take longer to cut out after the water has boiled, leading to energy wastage. Only add the amount of water you need – if you’re making 2 cups of tea, just add enough water for this amount A keep-warm function ensures the water retains its temperature long after it has boiled. Depending on the kettle, the water can be warm for 20 minutes to 2 hours. Hidden ElementPRECISE AND VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Water temperature is one of the most important variables while brewing coffee, tea and other hot beverages. By pressing the "+" or "-" button, the temperature will increase or decrease 1 degrees Celsius between 30℃and 100℃to your desired temperature. The digital display lets you monitor temperature in real time. Safety features include auto shut-off when it’s done, and boil-dry protection so that you can’t harm the element. The cordless design hides the cord neatly under the base.

Clean the kettle regularly. Any build-up of dirt or grease can also impede the kettle’s performance. Simply wipe down the interior with a damp cloth to keep it clean. The reason why this option looks a bit odd is because it’s a kettle with temperature control in the handle, a fairly substantial capacity and a precision spout. This gives is an “off-balance” look with the handle being quite bulky when compared to the spout, although it’s absolutely fine in use. The handle is perfectly comfortable to hold and the spout does its job of pouring accurately and so will please those using tea strainers and coffee filters, or just filling smaller vessels. This kettle also features a LED light that changes color to indicate when the water has reached boiling point. If your kettle is more than five years old, chances are it isn’t as energy efficient as it could be. Here are some things you can do to make your kettle more energy efficient: When it comes to the best energy-efficient kettles, this Bosch model comes highly recommended. We were sceptical at first, but after testing it first-hand, we can agree that it’s epic! This is thanks to the temperature control feature at the base of the kettle that lets you choose from 70 – 100°C, so that you can reach the exact temperature you need. Oh, and the keep warm function that retains water temperature for up to 30 minutes. Let’s not forget the large capacity of 1.5 litres. For us, it is these features and many more.

The water scale ensures you are boiling the perfect amount of water. The Bodum Bistro Electric Water Kettle is made of BPA-free plastic and is a great choice for boiling water for coffee, tea, or instant soups. How to make your Kettle Energy0Efficient The Yoleo temperature-control kettle is mostly glass and as such will fit unobtrusively into most kitchens. It has its controls in the handle, the appearance of which rather reminds us of an old-school calculator and we mean that in a really good way. If your eyesight’s not what it used to be (or you’re buying a variable-temperature kettle for someone with poor eyesight), then you should definitely give this option a look. Cleaning an electric kettle is not as easy compared to traditional kettles. The modern and cordless kettles, however, make it easier for you to clean your kettle courtesy of their hidden heating element feature. The OXO On Cordless Glass Electric Kettle is a good choice if you want an eco-friendly kettle with a modern design. We do have a couple of gripes about this variable-temperature kettle. The first is that there’s no temperature pre-sets, but at current time, that’s par for the course with kettles with temperature controls on the handle. The second is that it can be quite hard to see the minimum- and maximum-fill levels as you’re filling the kettle, but you can get around this by marking them on the outside in some way.
