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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great Tea pot But!
Okay, so I love the Glass Tea Kettle. Looks nice works well and then the "but" I am disappointed in the fact that no manufactures seem to get the "GLASS KETTLE" we want all glass, I can taste and smell the plastic in every cup off tea. I can even taste the stainless steel. Now don't get me wrong, if you don't care about the taste it is a wonderful machine.
But for me it is all about the taste and health, I don't want anything added to me tea that I didn't add myself.
To the people at Kitchen Aid I love your products, but there is a large group of us health nuts that want our food pure and clean. All Glass kettles, mixing bowls, blenders, anything our food goes into needs to be free of plastic's even safe plastic, its not just the health but the taste as well. The more you get away from plastic the more you can taste it and it shouldn't be in our tea or food.
I hope that you can understand this and will work to make more product we can love, and want to use.

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 .
