Choosing a kettle for your everyday routine

Capacity, comfort and the small details that make your daily cuppa easier.

Start with the amount you actually boil

A larger kettle can suit a busy household, but check the minimum fill mark if you often make just one cup. Choose a capacity that matches your routine.

Check how it feels to use

Look for a comfortable handle, a clearly visible water level and a lid opening that is easy to fill. Think about the position of your tap and how much clearance you have under cupboards.

Make cleaning straightforward

Check whether the limescale filter is removable and whether the manufacturer provides clear descaling instructions. Always follow those instructions.

Before you decide

Measure your counter space, check the cord length and compare the current product specifications. An illustration on this site is not a particular product recommendation.
