Green tea brewed with boiling water turns bitter, coffee brewed at a full boil tastes harsh, and delicate teas need well under 100°C — but almost no kettle tells you where you are. This one has a gauge on the front, so you can pull it off at the temperature you actually want instead of guessing. At \u003cstrong\u003e2 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e it is larger than most, enough for a full pot plus refills or a family's worth of hot water in one boil. The \u003cstrong\u003eheat-resistant glass body\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you watch the water and see scale forming early, and the \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel accents\u003c\/strong\u003e keep it looking like a considered piece rather than plain plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in temperature gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-resistant glass with stainless steel accents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonitoring water temperature while boiling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy this if water temperature matters to you, because that is its distinguishing feature — otherwise a plain kettle boils water just as well for less. Rough guidance worth knowing: green and white teas suit water well below boiling, black tea takes near-boiling, and coffee is generally better just off the boil rather than at a rolling one. A gauge lets you hit those rather than approximating. Two litres is generous, which is good for a household but means you should avoid boiling a full kettle for a single cup — heat what you need. Glass has real advantages: no plastic taste, visible water level and early sight of limescale. It also means the body gets hot, so lift by the handle only. Descale monthly with a weak vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly, which with glass you can see the need for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a plain electric kettle, the temperature gauge is the reason to choose this — it turns guesswork into a reading. Compared with a digital smart kettle that lets you select a target temperature, a gauge shows you the temperature but does not hold it, so you watch and switch off. Against a stainless steel kettle, glass shows the water and scale but gets hot outside and is more fragile. Against a stovetop kettle, faster and it shuts itself off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does water temperature matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreen and white teas turn bitter with boiling water and coffee tastes harsh at a full boil.
