Boiling water is seemingly a simple task. However, not everyone may have time or the patience to wait for hot water when boiled the traditional way. To save time and effort, you’ll want to buy an electric kettle. It’s a household appliance popular with tea and coffee drinkers, and basically, anyone looking for a more convenient way to boil water quickly and easily. You might be glad to know that electric kettles require less energy to boil water than conventional stove-top kettles or boiling water in a microwave. Moreover, they boil your water to a precise temperature.

Shopping for electric kettles might seem a straightforward process until you realize that there are many different options out there. So, here are factors to consider to help you buy the perfect electric kettle:

Size

Check the capacity of the kettle. Most can hold enough water for several cups, but portable ones may have a smaller capacity.

Speed

Electric kettles should allow you to make your coffee or tea faster. Most models will take around three to four minutes to boil water at its maximum capacity. Most manufacturers will claim that their products are fast, but check user reviews to verify that.

Temperature options

If you’re a serious coffee or tea enthusiast, you’ll appreciate an electric kettle that can boil water at precise temperatures to enhance the quality of your favourite brews. They may cost a bit more than regular electric kettles without temperature settings, but they can be a good investment if you’re conscious of the quality of your drinks.

Special features

Some electric kettles are designed specifically for making tea or coffee. They may come with smart controls to ensure safe and easy preparation.

Aesthetics

Your electric kettle will likely be seen and become a functional appliance in your kitchen. So, you’ll want it to look aesthetically pleasing and not become an eyesore compared to the rest of your appliances.
