And then one day, while we were having another endless discussion in the middle of Currys about getting vs. not getting a dishwasher, I spotted the kettle of dreams. And it wasn’t electric either.

The KitchenAid Tea Kettle is another good product that could easily be the best stovetop tea kettle any first-time buyers would enjoy. It's user-friendly, made with tough stainless steel, and it comes in vibrant colors like citrus sunrise and cameo blue. It is of course also a good kettle, colours aside – it’s made of enamelled steel and has a heat-safe handle, and will work with any kind of hob.

This kettle can be used to store beverages as well, and since it is so well designed, you can easily use it to serve drinks in as well, as it will fit incredibly well with any table. Filters: If you’re in a hard water area, look for the best kettle with built-in filters that will soften hard water. It comes in five colours, so you can definitely find the one that works with your kitchen interiors best. The great thing about tea kettles is that it comes with water filters. This helps you collect all the debris or hard water deposits from your water before serving it for tea or cooking with it. This is a plus to consider if you’re very particular about clean and safe water intake. It is made of the same borosilicate glass as the previously mentioned kettle, so it will withstand heat and it won’t be as liable to break. On the other hand, this one comes with a bamboo lid, and the entire kettle is in fact glass, which means the handle might get a little bit warmer than you might be used to.

Shape: Consider what sort of shape you want to go for. Most kettles are either a jug style, with the handle at the side, or a dome style with the handle placed over the top. Some people find one easier to use than the other. Another great add-on in a stovetop tea kettle is the mesh filter. While others are detachable, there are some models made with built-in mesh filters. These are great for those who use stovetop tea kettles specifically for tea. If you have a limitless collection of tea bags, then this is a great feature to make use of. COOL HANDLE | PUSH BOTTON MECHANISM - Ergonomically designed handle and push-button technology makes pouring a breeze! The combination of high-quality nylon material and stainless steel effectively insulates and avoids being scalded.Fill it at the top and a blue light glows through the glass, getting brighter as it boils, which is a nice touch. It's relatively quiet when boiling too.
