I've been looking. I've been looking for a programmable kettle that didn't cost an absurd amount, and I think I've finally found it. This replaces my old on/off boil kettle also made by Hamilton Beach - the fact that kettle lasted for 5+ years (and was relatively cheap when I bought it) was a strong factor in my decision to buy another Hamilton Beach. Pros (some of these comparing to some other kettles I've tried): 1) Nice brushed stainless exterior. 2) Push button handle to open the lid - a nice change from the detached lid my previous kettle had. 3) Pour can be controlled fairly well for pour-over coffee. 4) Temperature adjustment in 5 degree increments.

Easy CleanupAllow the unit to cool before taking off or putting on parts for cleaning or use. To disconnect electric kettle before cleaning, turn any control to OFF (O) and then remove the plug from the wall outlet. For optimum performance and a clean mesh filter every time, do not to use abrasive souring pads or cleaners since this may damage the stainless steel surface. Instead, rinse the filter periodically under running water and gently brush with a clean toothbrush. TIPS & CAREBefore use, fill kettle with selected amount of water with mesh filter in place, and ensure that water level is between 0.5 L and MAX on the water level window and on level surface before serving. Overfilling the kettle may cause boiling water to spit out of the spout. Do not use for any other purpose than heating water, as other liquids or food will contaminate the interior. If the kettle floor starts turning colors, don't panic. This is normal and tends to happen, and does not affect the kettle's performance. Note: Care must be taken when handling the kettle to avoid spilled hot liquid, scalding or burns – use knobs or handle. Great Kettle Ever since seeing a programmable kettle in a store I've wanted one. I make anything from Cold Brew coffee (212 F or boiling), French Press coffee (best at 180 F), Black Tea (Boiling again), to green tea (175 F to 180 F). The cost was always a factor though since I already owned a cheap GE kettle that has lasted five years and still going. I saw this on sale and decided it was time. It works really well. You just put the kettle on, click the program button till you find the temperature you want, then click on/off button. It boils a little slower than my GE, but it gets to the programmed temperature and then holds that temp for an hour, which can be nice. You can program it to turn on in the morning, which seems a little more complicated with only four buttons, but I haven't had the need so I haven't used it. The temperature has been right on, you can't go wrong with this. The inside is all metal, so no plastic taste in the water. |
