Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, Tea & Water Kettle, 1L

When you're dealing w/ the heat and humidity on the east coast, the last thing you're thinking about drinking is hot anything. So mid-Summer isn't the greatest time to try out this product. It doesn't matter that you can have fresh brewed tea or coffee in minutes when it's EXTRA hot and muggy all day every day. It feels like it's 1000° around here. But, then you remember that ice exists. Hello, Iced Tea. How ya doing, Iced Coffee? This kettle is very simple to use. The water measurement guide is right there under the handle so you can easily see the max water line. You sit it on the little heating element, flick the switch and let it do it's thing. I kinda/sorta timed it and it was piping hot in less than three minutes. That may vary according to the amount of water you're heating up. I assume that if you're just heating up a single cup of water, it would probably be faster. After you're done the cord wraps neatly and securely in the bottom of the heating element. It's relatively tiny, so it can fit anywhere on your counter, a cabinet shelf or on your desk. It's cute too, the stainless steel looks good. I highly recommend this Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle. It will get used a lot this summer for Iced tea/coffee making purposes, but I know that it will be used daily in the colder months.

Hamilton Beach 1 L Stainless Steel Electric Kettle The kettle is great for everyday use and dorm room use, it really heat up fast; add filtered water turn it on and it starts boiling water, it takes 1min or less for you to have a hot cup of tea, or hot water for instant food such as oatmeal, miso soup, instant soup etc. I used it for tea and I used filtered cold water. This kettle is just what I needed for busy mornings that sometime force me to reheat my tea. This cute little kettle allows me to get things done and when I am ready to have a cup of tea I can have it literally when I am ready to sit down to drink it or fill my container and take it out the door with me. The base does not attached to the kettle it will not move unless you move it, you just place your kettle on top, press the start button and you're all set. I have made it a point to get rid of my left over water immediately after use so that I won't forget to leave it in kettle. Remember the bottom of the base does not move with the kettle something I had to get use to.
