Personal Consumer Issues • Replacing Electric Kettle: Recommendations

The only kettle I could find back in 2019 was this 0.8 Liter Cosori stainless steel model for $69.99:

It has a tiny capacity and I wish it were bigger, but that's my only nitpick. I guess it's 6 years old now and going strong. I do a lot of green teas so appreciate the lower temperature green and white tea settings or the regular 212F full boil for black or herbal tea or pour-over coffee.

The glass/silicone ones were pretty but I didn't want silicone touching the water or steam.

Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing this kettle and couldn't remember why I didn't buy it. Re-tracing my steps, I see that there was a review that mentioned a minor area of plastic. Probably overkill to be concerned about it but I may have been seeking perfection at the time.

Here's the review:

I was on the hunt and spent a good 15 or more hours scouring the internet for a completely stainless steel kettle. I'm happy to report that this is almost entirely void of plastic. The *only* place where plastic exists is inside this small hole where the handle touches the kettle, and there's plastic inside the hole. So, theoretically you could have steam go in there, but I personally am not too concerned about it.

Can you take a close look at the kettle/handle interface and give your analysis? Thanks.

And I'm glad to see it's been durable. That's great feedback.

I looked at the kettle-handle interface, and internally, there's nothing. It all connects externally. Internally it's just smooth metal with no holes or anything where the handle connects.

The only things I see on the inside is there's a small sensor on the rear part of the bottom. It's either a water sensor or a temperature sensor or both.

Then there's the hole for the gooseneck spout. I can't really see well enough or reach in there to see what's going on.
