Quality Construction

When it comes to KitchenAid, you can always be sure that you will be getting the best quality possible. One look at the construction of the 1.7L electric kettle and you will agree with me. This kettle has a solid dual wall construction, which provides a cool touch even when the water is boiling. There is also a well designed pour spout that does not leak, a lid release button for simple filling, and a soft grip handle for optimum comfort.

Variable Temperature Settings

Unlike most kettles that only offer one temperature setting, the KitchenAid kettle offers multiple settings ranging from 122 degrees F to 212 degrees F. You can easily adjust these settings so that you can choose the temperature that you desire:

140 F for delicate tea, 158 F for green tea/white tea, 176 F for blooming tea/green tea/ green and white chai tea, 194 F for black tea/oolong tea/hot chocolate, and 212 F for red chai/herbal tea/rooibos tea/oatmeal/instant soup/Yerbe Mate.

Hold Temperature Function

You do not always use hot water immediately you boil it. In these cases, it is convenient if your water remains warm until you get to it. Thankfully for you, the electric kettle comes with a hold temp function that will maintain the temperature of your water for 30 minutes.

Large Capacity

The KitchenAid is also a large capacity kettle with the ability hold 1.7L of water. This large capacity kettle also comes with a large graduated window, so that you can easily see the level of water in the kettle.

Great Heating Performance

Last but not least, the sleek and well designed kettle offers great heating performance. The kettle also has an auto shutoff feature and a digital temperature display so that you can track the boiling of water.
