Amazon.com Product Description
A great gift idea for that tea-lover on the list, this variable-temperature kettle brings water to the perfect brewing temperature for a variety of favorite beverages, including the four major types of teas and French press coffee. Simply fill the kettle with up to 2 quarts of water and return it to its 360-degree stainless-steel directional base. Then make a selection from its clearly marked push-button control panel. The kettle's five pre-set brewing temperatures include 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) for green tea, 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) for white tea, 195 degrees F (90 degrees C) for oolong tea, 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) for French press, and 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) for boiling water and making black tea. A "Hold Temp" button keeps the heated water at the selected temperature for 20 minutes, so it's ready for that second cup. For added convenience, the "Hold Temp" function can be activated anytime--before, during, or after reaching the chosen temperature. The unit comes equipped with a 1500-watt heating element for fast results, as well as boil-dry protection with auto shut-off to prevent the kettle from heating without water inside. Other highlights include a stay-cool easy-grip handle, a nondrip pour spout, clear water-level indicators on both sides of the kettle--great for left- and right-handed users, a removable scale filter, and brushed stainless-steel housing. Adding both style and function to any busy kitchen, the electric kettle measures 7-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 11 inches.
The Variable Temperature kettle allows the user to heat water to specific temperatures that achieve perfect taste profiles for the four major types of teas and French press coffee. 5 Pre-set brewing temperatures include: 175F for Green Tea; 185F for White Tea; 195F for Oolong Tea; 200F for French Press: and 212F for boiling and black tea. The European stainless steel design make it a beautiful table statement.
