How to pick between these
- If you want temperature control for the least money on a maker store → the OVENTE KD96B or the Hamilton Beach Smart Kettle, both under $50.
- If you want to type in an exact temperature → the Hamilton Beach Smart Kettle (any temperature from 100 to 212°F) or the OXO Adjustable Temperature Kettle (104 to 212°F, set with a knob).
- If you want named presets for each tea → the Hamilton Beach Cool-Touch Digital, the Ninja KT200 or Breville the IQ Kettle.
- If you want to watch the water heat → the OXO Adjustable Temperature Kettle, the only glass kettle here.
- If you want the longest stated hold → the OVENTE KD96B, up to 5 hours.
Presets or a set temperature?
Presets heat to fixed temperatures named after drinks. Hamilton Beach says the Cool-Touch Digital's five modes cover green, white and oolong tea, French press coffee and "black tea/boil", and Breville's IQ Kettle has varietal settings for black, green, white and oolong tea and French press coffee. You press the button for your tea and the kettle picks the number.
A set temperature lets you choose the number yourself. OXO says you can "Choose any temperature between 104 and 212°F" with a knob, and Hamilton Beach says you can select any temperature from 100° to 212°F on the Smart Kettle. The Ninja KT200 does both: seven one-touch presets plus manual temperature control. If your tea or coffee comes with a recommended temperature, a set temperature gets you there without guessing which preset is closest.
What to check before you buy
- Hold time. All six state a keep-warm or hold. The times differ: 20 minutes on Breville, 30 on Hamilton Beach's Cool-Touch, Ninja and OXO, and up to 5 hours on the OVENTE.
- Capacity in liters. Four of the six state 1.7 or 1.75 liters. Ninja and Breville state 7 cups only, so compare them by the cup count on their pages.
- What the body is made of. Stainless steel on the Hamilton Beach Smart Kettle and Breville the IQ Kettle, borosilicate glass on the OXO, a double wall on the OVENTE, and a stainless steel interior with a cool exterior on the Hamilton Beach Cool-Touch. Ninja does not state a body material.
- Smart control. The Hamilton Beach Smart Kettle works with Alexa voice control. The others are set from their own buttons or knob.
Why the spout matters here
Every kettle on this list has a standard spout. If you brew pour-over coffee, a gooseneck pours the slow, narrow stream a cone needs, and three of the four goosenecks in our finder also have temperature control. See the gooseneck list linked below.
