Customer Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by The Gardens from Least Plastic Kettle Aesthetically we are very pleased, in our opinion one of the nicest we checked out. It was the kettle (glass or metal) we could find with the least amount of plastic coming into contact with the water. It appears the only contact is with silicon on the lid and handle attachment. The temperature options is a plus. Maintains heat for around 30 minutes after reaching chosen temperature if you don't remove kettle from base, and indicates when that 30 minutes has expired. One major caveat, if you set it to full boil it does not shut-off. KitchenAid does not know if this is by design, and while helpful they have not resolved this issue/concern.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rms9163z from Good, but not great for correct tea brewing method I received this as a Christmas gift. It replaced a good electric kettle that started to leak after a few years. The KitchenAid kettle does not have a thermometer; only a thermostat. There is no way to know the current temperature of the water. The thermocouple is located in a good position within the kettle. Many kettles with thermometer probes do not go all the way down into the water. The alarm only sounds when the temperature rises up to the thermostat setting; not when cooling back down to a new setting after heating the water to a higher temperature. The correct way to brew tea is to boil the water first, then let it cool down to the brewing temperature. This kettle does not have features that make it easy for the correct brewing method. A good feature of this kettle is the depth of the steeper. Other kettles and teapots have short steepers. The quality is excellent and is a good looking product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TopoTony from Very Nice It makes great tea and keeps it warm. The other nice features are that the tea holder cleans very nice and you can not forget to turn it off since it turns itself off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tea Connoisseur from Tea Connoisseur's Dream I am an avid tea drinker and this is the best tea kettle I have ever had. It is really a tea pot and kettle in one. It is very well thought-out and engineered. It has all the temperature variations for different teas. The tea basket allows you to brew your tea in the same pot and then remove the basket so your tea does not get too strong even if it sits for several hours. You can reheat later for the perfect second or third cup of tea. Much easier to clean than the standard electric tea kettle and it looks great on the kitchen counter. Kudos to the Kitchen-Aid designers on this appliance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris W from Excellent / elegant design and performance Major tea drinker wife, all manner of "exotic" specialty blends. White, green, black, red and probably others. H2O temp is key factor, that part I know. This was a thoroughly appreciated surprise addition to our kitchen. Plus, I can use it to just boil water for my manual coffee maker. Simply elegant design and very functional. Only thing; expect to make at least ~2 cups minimum / use. (A practical limitation of heating element proximity to bottom of tea strainer basket, needs some distance, therefore more H2O. See no way to design around this, as a practical matter). All The Best, Chris

Rated 4 out of 5 by tea lover from Makes great tea of all kinds I received this product in exchange for my honest review. Pros: Easy to fill since the whole top can be fully removed. Large pot to make large amounts of tea. Quality product - has held up very well after using it for several months. Makes great tea of all kinds. Useful for boiling water without taking away a spot on your stovetop. Cons: Kettle automatically switches off after 30 minutes (for me this is bad because I like to drink hot tea all day). Can't submerge the pot in water to clean it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Razvan C from Awful smell Can someone please tell me how to get rid of the awful smell inside? It smells like ebonite / rubber / plastic. I've tried everything, boiled with water and vinegar, boiled with water, prepared infusions ...and throw them away. The awful smell persists, the product is not usable .

Rated 5 out of 5 by D.J. from Excellent heat I'm so happy this product has correct temperatures for different teas. I also appreciate that I can make a pot of tea or heat water to steep the teabag in my mug. KitchenAid created a product I've been waiting for for years.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedCustomer from Good but leaves a nasty taste It is a nice kettle looks really good but leaves a TCP type taste in the water. Shame really as the taste taints the tea and coffee so it was a waste as it will now be abandoned. The nasty taste aside, it was a good kettle.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tea enthusiast and lover from Just the Right Glass Tea Kettle - Love it!!!! The KitchenAid Glass Tea Kettle is a vet]y nice addition to the kitchen and tea lovers would enjoy the convenience of 5 different settings to brew different teas. I love the conveniently placed "on/off" switch and the ergonomic lever design to set different temperatures.The new glass carafe is cool to touch, easy to keep clean, variable temperature, rapid boil, with a convenient spout with a thoughtfully designed cover over the spout to prevent tea particulars being poured. The steel base of carafe and the steel infuser are well designed and easy to maintain. The kettle doubles down as a quick, easy way to boil water. I even used it as an infuser to brew herbal decoction and the results were very good. I was able to brew both black tea and green tea and loved the consistent brew each time. The Glass Tea Kettle I used came with 1.5L carafe and found slightly inconvenient to brew smaller quantity and always ended up brewing 2 cups so the tea in the infuser was well submerged in water. Overall this Glass Tea Kettle is definitely a nice addition to the kitchen and KitchenAId has done great job in quality and design. I would recommend this to my tea lover friends and family.
