Features Breville Purple Kettle

Variable Temperature

Variable temperature kettles can warm the water to different temperatures to offer the top outcomes when brewing different types of coffee and tea.

It is a handy spec if you love to drink more delicate green and herbal teas, which should be brewed below boiling.

Water Level Indicator

Most kettles have this perfectly visible on the exterior, but some are more uncomfortably placed, such as behind the handle.

Kettles with big viewing windows are best if you want to know actually how much water is in the kettle at any time.

Smart Specs Breville Purple Kettle

Some kettles have extra smart specs, such as permitting you to set the kettle to boil from your phone using an app or check the water temperature.

Other smart specs contain pre-programmed temperature keys for different warm drinks and a keep hot setting to retain the water temperature for a certain amount of time.

Weight

For every millilitre of water, you include to your kettle, and an extra gram is included to its full weight, meaning they can get pretty heavy.

If lifting may be a problem, look for models that weight no more than a kilogram when empty.

Filters

Most kettles have washable, removable and anti-scale water filters that sit at the base of the spout.

These collect pieces of limescale from the water to stop them from being poured into your drink, and they prevent scum from forming on the surface.

Boil Dry Protection

With this spec, the kettle mechanically switches off there is not sufficient water inside.
