"Temperature settings make for a perfect cup of tea... never over-boiled that gives tea a flat taste. My husband loves it for his french press coffee. I also use it to heat water for cooking pasta and risotto...so much quicker than waiting for the "pot to boil" on the stove. We use it every day. When I encountered a problem with my first kettle, Breville sent a replacement immediately, no questions asked, and even covered postage. I highly recommend this kettle to anyone who wants the perfect cup of tea or french press coffee. You will not be disappointed."

"We have used this the past 3 months for french press coffee and loose leaf teas of many varieties. This allows for the perfect temperature for each beverage that you desire. We use it everyday and could not imagine turning back to traditional coffee and tea makers."

"Breville has done it again with their ingenuity and wisdom. Tea drinkers have now found a Buddha for boiling water. I can’t say how much I love this product, perfect for all teas. Been using it sense December every day and haven’t had any problems"

"When I contacted Breville about this product I was considering buying, I found out that the plastic in the viewing window that comes in contact with the hot water is made from polycarbonate plastic, which is known to contain BPA. I hope a new model is designed that would contain a glass viewing window! I would buy it in a second, as this tea kettle looks amazing!!!

Also may want to consider a "warm water" option, for water not needed as hot.

Thanks!"

"You'll never regret spending the extra money to get this top of the line kettle. It's a Rolls Royce. I particularly like the smooth operation of the powered lid, and the placement of the water level indicators both sides of the kettle, so you don't have to struggle to see the water level, as was the case with our previous Cuisinart. It beeps discreetly when finished, and the Hold function is really useful, so you have time to finish whatever you are doing, before you go over to the kettle for hot water. And that's not to mention the 5 presets enabling you to boil water to just the right temperature for your brew of choice."

"I didn't think I'd love this kettle as much as I do! The cost turned me off at first however, now I can tell you it is well worth the price. I used to boil water for tea in a small pot but now I can set the kettle and walk away and not worry the water will boil over. "

"This kettle is brilliant! I drink various types of loose tea (green, oolong, white, etc) and this kettle helps to ensure every type of tea is brewed to perfection! "
