While researching and writing this piece, I spoke to three different experts: tea sommelier Poorvi Chordia, cofounder of Herbs & Kettles; Eileen Donaghey, the Afternoon Tea Expert; and Kaleena Teoh, director of education at Coffee Project New York. They offered insights on how to select the best electric kettle for your home, including tips on brewing the perfect cup of tea and coffee. This piece was written by Derek Rose, the coffee and tea expert for The Spruce Eats. He researches a variety of coffee products, from measuring scoops to commercial espresso machines, and interviews field experts for their insight. He's a fan of non-electric coffee makers, typically using the Bodum Brazil French Press at home. The only other significant area of criticism from long-term owners is one that many steel kettles face: rust. But some added TLC, like routine cleaning and towel drying, should stymie rust issues.

Blooming is an important step in the brewing process where coffee grounds are lightly saturated with water before the rest of the water is poured. It makes the coffee release CO2, also known as "degassing," which leads to a purer taste.

If you generally brew coffee in a room with lots going on, you might not even notice the sound your electric kettle makes. However, that’s not always the case, particularly at times of the day where others might be sleeping nearby. To test the noise levels, we used a cellphone app. Stovetop kettles can take a beating, particularly for those who have open-flame gas burners. But this simple stainless steel kettle from Coffee Gator is up to any task, and it comes at an affordable price. In addition to being durable and affordable, the stand-out features include a temperature gauge, finger-groove handle, and a precise, reliable spout that you can depend on to up your coffee or tea game for years to come.Some variable-temperature kettles have five or six preset temperature options, typically with settings for green, white and oolong teas, as well as coffee and a standard boil. However, more advanced models offer even more granular control, allowing you to select a specific temperature in 1- or 5-degree increments. Design Do not place it in a dishwasher. Neither base nor kettle is dishwasher safe and both include electrical components that could become damaged. Alternatively, if you don't care for those smart features, you can save yourself some cash by going with the non-connected version instead. Either way, you’re getting an excellent electric kettle that I have been evangelizing about to everyone who will listen for weeks.

When choosing your electric kettle, you’ll need to consider a few factors before you buy. The overall aesthetics shouldn’t be dismissed when you’re looking at an appliance that will be visible on your kitchen counter. Also, think about how much you’re willing to spend — prices vary drastically and there’s a kettle for every budget. You should also consider: If you frequently host guests, it’s worth getting a larger kettle to make multiple servings at once. “I try to use a kettle that can brew over 1.5 liters,” says Donaghey. “While I might not use the larger capacity every day, it is easier when it comes to having tea parties at home to be able to boil water faster.” Materials The lid of the Brewista Artisan attaches too tightly, meaning you need more effort than you would like to remove and reattach it. By comparison, the EKG’s lid fits beautifully. We also love the EKG’s handle, which makes for a comfortable yet firm grip. On the other hand, the Brewista Artisan’s spot can get closer to the grounds, offering greater control over the pouring. Our Verdict The app’s basic function is appealing, as it's uncluttered and gets out of your way; there’s no fiddling with settings. But that also means functionality is limited. I would’ve liked to be able to set a timer—start heating my water in 30 minutes, say, and send me a notification when it’s at 180 degrees. Or the ability to hold the temperature for 10 minutes instead of 60.

Handle with flair

Just press the power switch and you'll have hot water in around three minutes. Electric kettles are available in a range of sizes, typically between 0.9 and 1.8 liters—that’s roughly 4 and 8 cups. Smaller kettles, such as the Fellow Corvo EKG, take up less space in your kitchen, but they can generally boil enough water for only 2 or 3 cups at a time. Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and allow it to dry. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads on any part of the kettle as it may damage the finish. Aside from that, the Lardera Smart Electric Kettle offers its weight (light as that is) in style, performance, and quality of materials. It's also one of the smoothest-pouring kettles I've used.

If you use vinegar, heat a solution of half vinegar and half water in your kettle. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it sit for at least a half-hour before dumping it out and rinsing the kettle thoroughly.
