Electric Kettles have evolved to a point where some of them are more expensive than your latest tablet computer, because they feature a programmable auto-start, keep-warm temperatures (to keep water at the desired temperature for tea or French press coffee brewing, for instance), illuminated interiors, built-in tea steepers and countless other features. Most modern kettles are cordless and feature a water-leve-monitoring window, but the features vary greatly. Explore the latest electric kettles on Alphachooser:
