BrewSift earns a commission on some purchases. It never changes our scores. Why you can trust us

Should you buy it?

Buy it if

  • Large capacity
  • French press & tea
  • Fast boil
  • 1.7L — the largest capacity on this page

Skip it if

  • Wide spout, so no pour-over control
  • Preset temperatures only, not to-the-degree
  • Keep-warm stops at 30 minutes

Not for you? Consider the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro — or see all electric & gooseneck kettles .

The verdict

Not a pour-over kettle: the spout is wide and the six presets run 160–200°F rather than to the degree. What it does is hold nearly twice what a Stagg does and get there quickly on 1500W. The French-press preset, the 30-minute keep-warm and the memory feature that lets you lift it off the base for two minutes without losing the setting make it the practical pick for a household brewing by the carafe, or for tea alongside coffee.
