Here Are The Top 10 Best Electric Tea Kettles As Of March, 2021
Electric tea kettles that function as automatic tea brewers have seen an upswing, thanks in no small part to tea aficionados who laud tea's health benefits, which include cancer protection, blood pressure maintenance, decreased risk of diabetes and stroke.
Electric tea kettles differ from ordinary electric kettles in that they have a tea basket, also called a steeper, for loose-leaf tea. Water filters through this basket, allowing the tea leaves to steep at a set temperature: Tea enthusiasts know that different types of teas call for different brew temperatures and brew times. Most models have temperature presets that correspond to types of teas, and some also have preset steep times to control the strength of the brew.
When you want to make the best brews out of your tea, nothing beats the precision and convenience of a cordless electric tea kettle. Here are the best ones:
The List:
The programmable auto-start and automated tea basket cycle (which lowers and lifts the basket on its own to enhance infusion) have also been massively-appreciated by buyers, as this makes waking up to "perfectly-brewed tea" possible by letting users set and program everything from the night before. As one reviewer put it, this variable kettle "takes the ceremony out of tea-making " -- a feat that may be too guilt-inducing for many self-confessed tea enthusiasts, but something that is, in the end, immensely-convenient for parties involved.
While we've seen no qualms about the metal basket in terms of how it performs, we did encounter tales of how spent tea leaves can cling to it with much tenacity, making clean-up a bit more taxing than ideal. The fact that the glass jar isn't dishwasher safe has also been a concern for some customers, as the bottom of the carafe supposedly cannot get wet at all, lest it will break.
From its overall rating of 4.5 stars, it's clear that this Breville variable temperature kettle is a mighty market contender, therefore deserving the spot of Alphachooser's best electric tea kettle 2021 (Learn how we rank items) with 100 confidence (More on confidence levels).

However, some people have reported running into some minor trouble when cleaning this variable heat kettle. Apparently, the bottom part of the jar accumulates brown buildup, and to get it all cleaned out takes some effort (I mean, who in his right mind would want to exert some effort these days, right!?!). Several reviewers also pointed out that the instructions were hard to follow, with one even saying that she was positive the instructions manual was written by someone "whose first language wasn't English" . Clearly, its cons may indeed be significant enough to consider for some people, but they really don't have anything to do with how the tea kettle performs.
This 4.5-star variable electric kettle obviously left a solid impression on its buyers. And for that, we're awarding it the honor of being an Alphachooser interesting choice for this top 10 ranking.
