The media could not be loaded. I recently picked up the Elite Gourmet Cool Touch Electric Tea Kettle, and I’m really impressed with what it offers, especially for the price. The multiple temperature settings are a standout feature, allowing you to quickly heat water to the perfect temperature for different beverages—whether it’s tea, coffee, or even instant meals.The cool touch exterior is a great safety feature, staying cool even while the kettle is boiling. It heats water quickly and has an auto shut-off function, giving me peace of mind that it won’t boil dry.While the plastic construction feels a bit cheap compared to more premium models, it’s sturdy and gets the job done without issue. For the price, the Elite Tea Kettle offers excellent value with features that are often found in more expensive kettles.Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s reliable, heats quickly, and the temperature control makes it perfect for all sorts of drinks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, versatile kettle, this one is definitely worth considering.

This is a great little hot pot to heat tea water when traveling. It boils water up to 20 oz of water very quickly and has a nice feature of auto shut off. It has a well marked fill line on the inside container. The handle fold against the pot so nothing to break. It's compact so takes minmal space in my kichen bag. Nice essential item that goes with me on every road trip. Excellent value for price paid.

This electric kettle actually seems both elite and gourmet! It actually looks so sleek in my kitchen. I love how the buttons disappear until you use it. It's such a cool techy concept. The kettle holds a decent amount of water and it's very cool to see how you can set it to heat the water at different types of temperatures and not just boil or nothing. It has a coffee setting and it even has a "green" setting as in green tea, so I can set it to heat up enough for my tea without burning my tongue when I drink it :)Another useful part is the option to keep something warm, so if you want to refill your tea or you're waiting to see if someone else in your household wants some too you dont have to let it get cold and redo it. I personally really like the warm setting because I drink mate (argentinean tea) that has you refill with water over and over and when the thermos runs out I can just put the rest of it in since it stayed warm.Definitely useful and very cool and sleek design!

30 day UPDATE: We've used this almost daily for the past month or so, sometimes multiple times a day. While I initially chose it as a travel kettle, we've been using it for tea and coffee in the house because it's convenient and fairly fast. It took a dozen or so cycles to address the initial plastic smell issue, but it's fine now. I timed it today, and it takes just under 3 minutes to heat a full kettle from (about) room temperature. I'm upping the review to five stars because the initial plastic smell was temporary, and we really like this thing for both home and travel use.Note: I used a Bluetti AC60 to test it, and it showed a draw of up to 730W. It took about 15% of the battery, so you wouldn't want to rely on only an AC60 (403Wh capacity) if you're using this and running other appliances without a reliable recharge option.Original review: This heats up quick and works well. It's a great size to heat up 16-20 oz, so it works great as a travel water heater. Minus one star because it the water still smells like plastic after about 10 cycles.

Excellent tea or coffee pot. Anytime.you need hot water. The temp is easy to select on the front. I usually hit the green tea or the boil buttons on the front and it starts heating it. Super easy to use. It looks nice on the counter and so far seems real durable.

I’ve had issues in the past with kettles that build up mineral deposits after one use. This kettle is fantastic. It is very slow to build up residue and it heats water very accurately. It is a little slow to heat up, but it’s not a deal breaker. For the money, I think this is the best budget kettle you can find.

I like the Mid Century Modern style, kinda glam for a kettle! It’s unique compared to the other plastic electric kettles I’ve seen.Its exterior is hard plastic, with interior stainless steel. The stainless is a requirement for me as I don’t like plastic and am sensitive to it. So it’s healthy for me.It’s heavier than I thought it would be, but I’m okay with filling it to minimum for use. It’s quiet, until the water is about to boil: exactly like any kettle or pan heating water on the stove.I use a small French press, and heat the glass carafe using the kettle just before boiling. The steam is a perfect heat so as not to crack my carafe when it’s cold. Of course, using steam makes condensation on the glass and steam water drips from the French carafe. So to be safe, I’m right there with it with a cup towel.I’ve never liked or used the black plastic ones and thought I’d never have an electric kettle, but as I’m having work done on my house, it became a necessity, and I really do enjoy my coffee set up! It’s kinda like an AB&B but with everything exactly as I like, but with a bit of clutter. Definitely recommend. 💯

I am a constant tea drinker. I also like to have the occasional cup of instant Cafe Bustelo. When I travel, I do not like the idea of using the hotel room coffee pod machine, because I am always doubtful on how clean it is. So, I bought this before my trip out west (United States). I put it on the sink in the bathroom suite, the shower and toilet were in a separate room.I washed it and filled it, then turned it on, the time that it took for the water to heat was about 90 seconds. The handle collapses into the body of the kettle for easy storage and packing. I highly recommend it. It is just as good as the one that I have at home. Good for a traveler who likes a good cup of tea when out of town.
