Here Are The Top 10 Best Variable Temperature Kettles 2021
The water kettle has come a long way from the stovetop model your grand'ma used and the basic electric kettle your parents thought was state-of-the-art. Modern variable temperature elctric kettles are the wave of the future because water temperature is critical in bringing out the best qualities of tea and coffee. Coffee must be brewed at 200F and most tea varieties require brew temperatures lower than the boiling point of 212F. For instance, according to inpursuitoftea.com, white tea best brews at 165F while black tea requires 205F or more.
Aside from preset or programmable temperature settings, variable temperature models commonly have several other advanced features. They often have a keep-warm timer -- to keep the water at the set temperature for a given amount of time -- or programmable auto-start timers. Tea-centric models also have a tea basket and a tea-steeping countdown timer.
So if you are not kidding with the quality of your tea or coffee, make sure your next electric kettle has variable temperature settings.

Some people have reported having some trouble with the user manual, saying that the instructions therein seem to have been written by someone who's not very versed with the English language. Specifically, certain reviewers have had a hard time understanding the instructions regarding how to turn the kettle off, so they usually remedy this by simply unplugging it after the desired boiling and keep-warm time had elapsed. However, this issue proved to be very small compared to the positive characteristics of this variable temperature electric teapot -- with one reviewer mentioning that with only the above-mentioned issue to worry about, this Comfee kettle still ends up better than all the other models she's tried .
