Chefman Digital Electric Glass Kettle, No.1 Kettle Manufacturer, Removable Tea Infuser Included, 8 Presets & Programmable Temperature Control, Auto Shutoff, Water Filter, 6+ Cup Capacity, 1.5 Liter

Looking for a new easy to use kettle, I across a very nice and very easy to use Chefman. Having used other Chefman products, I trusted the label. About a week later, i got an Amazon email showing this model. It is a bit more expensive; however, it has a couple of additional features, including a "keep warm" function. So, I traded up. Because of added features, there is a very small learning curve, but "keep warm" is worth it. Various heating options are available for the different kinds of tea to be brewed. Tea can be brewed in the cup or in the pot using the included infuser. It heats fast, and the water/tea is kept warm for an hour. For a refill during that period, the kept warm water/tea is hot in a hurry. I love it. Easy to use, and easy to clean. Should you need total simplicity for whatever reason, buy its Chefman brother. With either one, you've got a winner.

Update 11/26/23 I still love this kettle. I use it every day for French press coffee, tea, boiling water for making Repashi gel fish food, making jello, boiling water to sanitize kitchen sponge and hand crocheted dish rags made my my husbands auntie years ago. Great for any hot or boiled water I need. How did I live without this for so long? The auto settings and temp readout are the greatest thing. The auto hold temp is wonderful for me since I turn it on then do other things so don't hear the beep to know it is done. As for the beep it is great too. Not too loud. Not annoying at all and I strongly dislike things beeping at me. It just says I'm up to the temp you want then it quietly waits for you while keeping your water hot. If I forget or get distracted it turns off automatically. As for scale I have read other reviews that people were frustrated that it got mineral spots on the stainless bottom inside. Well, we have a well haha. Our community is on the edge of a batholith, a long extinct volcano. All of the well water here is liquid rock. It doesn't pay to buy an expensive coffee maker because they will get scaled up until they don't work any more, then you throw the old one out and get another. This is one of the reasons I use a French press. You should see the inside of my 20 year old stainless tea kettle I use on the stove. Even with scrubbing and vinegar soaks it is white inside. The clear carafe on this electric kettle is wonderful for hard water because I can see the scale. I never empty the boiled water all the way to make it easier to clean. I let it cool then use the dish scrub brush to get the loose scale before I rinse and fill for the next pot. That means I work on the scale every or every other day. I did get some commercial de-scaler I will try for the tougher scale. Haven't tried that yet. Scale is just minerals so not harmful in any way and since the element isn't in contact with the water this kettle will far outlast any conventional coffee maker or espresso machine. Uggh. I have one of those I need to descale. As for the reviewers that were frustrated with the lid loosing it's tightness I found it easier to take off the tea strainer and just use the tea strainer lid. Since it is a turn lock it will work much longer than a seal that gets used at least daily. I have no problem filling or cleaning without taking the whole lid off. If I need to get in there to scrub with a sponge or something I can take the whole lid off but so far I haven't needed to do that. Have I said that I love this kettle? Original review: I love this already and I only set it up this morning. I have used electric kettles before. None of them holds a candle to this one. I love that I can see the water level and watch it working. I love coffee and tea. I told my husband who doesn't like hot drinks that it will heat the water for his instant potatoes and instant soup we sometimes use in the winter. I love the different programmed settings for french press, tea, etc. Before I would just microwave or boil water for the french press. Today I used this kettle and brewed my coffee with water that was heated on the french press setting. I used the keep warm timer to time my brewing before pressing so I didn't have to look at the clock or set a timer It was just Folgers since I didn't want to grind beans. The coffee was so smooth and tasted great. Better than the same in the coffee maker. I can't wait to use the kettle with the infuser for my loose tea. I love the stay cool grippy handle and the way the tea infuser can be removed without taking the whole top off. This kettle is so well designed to be easy to use and functional. Good thing fall is almost here. I will love using this kettle every time I need hot water. I plan on getting one for my sister for Christmas. I know she will love it as much as I do.

Been using this kettle for a few years now. works great as long as you dont get any water on the metal connections. corrosion cause mine to have some issues before i realize the problem and cleaned up the connections to fix it. Beyond that, i like how many different heating options it has.

Love this kettle. Easy to use and looks beautiful on the counter top. The kettle has plenty of presets that cover most teas, coffee, and simply boiling water. It also has a setting for custom temps in 1 degree increments. The steep times are adjustable for minutes and seconds for each setting as well as having a keep warm feature after steeping/heating. What would bring this kettle up to a 5 star rating is being able to customize the keep warm temperature. As an example, you steep black tea at 212 degrees but the ideal temperature to hold black tea is about 150 degrees. Higher temperatures have a negative effect on the flavor. It would also make cleaning easier if this kettle was fully submersible. Overall, this is a very nice kettle but with a few minor fixes, it can be even better. But, I'm very happy with it, would buy it again, and would definitely gift it.

I own the $300 Breville Tea kettle and bought this as a knock around unit. I was so impressed with the design and the features that this is now my GO TO for a kettle. I even bought one for my aunt. First of all, for one fifth the cost, it has nearly every feature of the Breville unit except for the automatic basket. The beautiful LED display resembles the Breville with all the tea types staged to a preset. It has a customizable setting for adjustable temperature and steep times. It displays the temperature and times for steeping and warming. It has a delay setting to make this turn on at a later time. What makes this unit better than most other units is the STEEP feature. Whether you steep loose tea in the pot or use a bag in a cup with boiling water, the STEEP feature shows the time at STEEP so you know when it’s time to remove the loose tea basket OR your tea bag from a cup if you’re only heating water. After the STEEP mode, it automatically goes into WARMING mode for two hours. The STEEP feature is universal and it may be easily overridden if you like. I thought this feature was going to be a waste of time but now I see how invaluable it is. Time of steeping is just as critical as temperature. For the first time my green and white teas are no longer bitter. This is the only tea maker in this price range that focuses on both. You will love the quality of the design, build and versatility with this product unlike any other far above its price class.

Llevo 2 meses con la tetera y ya no sirve, necesito saber si ustedes me la cambian o con quien me dirijo?

Esta tetera eléctrica es una autentica salva vidas, especialmente para estudiantes o gente que no tiene mucho espacio en la cocina. Excelente acompañante de una prensa francesa para tener delicioso café en cualquier momento, igualmente para té, sopas, etc. La jarra tiene una capacidad de 1.7 litros y es independiente, embona fácilmente sobre una pequeña base, y como cereza del pastel, tiene un mecanismo de seguridad para apagarla automáticamente cuando alcanza el punto de ebullición.

Love this pot! Instructions were a bit confusing, and it took a few times of using it to get the flow of how it works, but once you get the hang of it, it is great. We use t-bags in the defuser and set it to black Tea, the we remove the defuser after it does it's 3 min steep. Keeps tea very hot for about an hour. Love it

Es muy práctica, y facil de usar, sin embargo cuando queda agua en la tetera, al dia siguiente al quererla usar agarra un saborsito raro.

After turning off the kettle the lights stay on for a while but eventually it turns off. I like the delay feature but the default is always set at 8 hours so you have to change it every time to suit your needs.
