Smart Digital Kettle

I recently got the KRUPS 1.5L Electric Kettle, Cool Touch, and so far I’m really happy with it. The leakage is perfectly fine — no drips or leaks around the spout or base, even when the kettle is full. The safety features are excellent: the outer surface stays cool while boiling, and the auto shut-off works perfectly, which makes it feel very safe to use. When it comes to taste, the stainless steel interior keeps the water clean — no plastic smell or strange aftertaste at all. The kettle heats up quickly and efficiently — 1.5 L boils in just a few minutes. The overall kettle quality feels solid and premium — sturdy handle, smooth lid, and a well-balanced design. And the colour is beautiful! Sleek, modern, and fits perfectly into my kitchen style. Overall, this kettle combines safety, speed, and elegant design. I’m really pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend it!

This KRUPS 1.5L Electric Kettle has exceeded my expectations with its sleek design, rapid boiling, and convenient features. The stainless steel interior ensures pure-tasting water, while the cool-touch exterior makes it safe to handle even right after boiling. I love that it can heat a cup in just 80 seconds, and the keep-warm function is perfect for those times I’m refilling my mug. The cordless design and automatic shut-off add extra convenience and safety, making this kettle an absolute winner in both performance and style.

Excellent fast-boil kettle! Works amazing—super fast boil, quiet, and easy to use. Perfect for daily tea/coffee, no drips when pouring. Great buy!

I have had this item for a few months now. The "Keep Warm" feature is a saving grace for me and works as intended. The auto shut off functionality also works as expected. My only complaint is that you cannot see the lights for the controls very well. I am unable to see the digits on the screen to ensure I gauge the correct temperature unless I turn the lights off. It's also a pain to try to set the controls. Overall, it works well if you just want to boil water and it seems pretty durable. Also, the lack of plastic in the design is huge factor in why I wanted this kettle.

This works very nicely, it heats up quickly and I love how I can go from a low of 104 degrees, meaning I can use it for yeast, to boiling. I almost always use it at the 195 degree setting for coffee, sometimes one lower for hot chocolate. Also heats quickly enough that if you are in a rush for pasta, you can boil the water first in the kettle then pour it (carefully) into your pot to get a head start. The temperature is large and easy to read, and changes in real time while it heats up so that you can stop it at any temp along the way by removing it from the base. It has a 30-minute stay warm function, which is nice but would be even nicer if it were an hour or two. I LOVE how the double wall allows me to put a hand on the outside for stability without burning myself - it gets warm, but not hot to the touch. The spout is ok, sometimes it dribbles a little if you don't have it at the exact right angle. My previous electric kettle had a more accurate pour, but this one isn't bad. The lid will lift a little more manually for easier cleaning, although it stays angled and is not removable. I make sure to dry out the insides after using it (after allowing it to cool down) so that water doesn't sit in there and get disgusting, as it does in all kettles that aren't emptied of water and cleaned frequently. After about a month of use once daily, it started to get some scaling - easily cleaned with white vinegar per instructions in manual. I wanted to knock one star off because of the shiny black finish, which I find rather dated and cheap looking. If it were matte black (or gray or silver tone), it would be much more up to date in appearance and pleasant to look at. But that's just a visual preference, and the function of this electric kettle is deserving of five stars.

I was hopeful that this KRUPS kettle would be good and would last longer than any of the other half dozen I have purchased in the last decade. I'm convinced none are manufactured these days to last more than a year or two. If you're lucky. Upon receiving it, I immediately filled it to learn its features and to see how it worked. I was immediately disappointed (and a bit angry) to see that the handle was secured to the inside of the kettle by a large black piece of hard plastic. Yes, this plastic piece is above the waterline, however, the steam from heated water wets the plastic, and that moisture drips back down. Not good. That alone was a deal killer for me. I do NOT want any plastic inside a kettle that heats water. I would NOT have purchased the kettle had they shown the plastic inside of the otherwise stainless steel interior, or mentioned it in their description. I continued with the testing of the features. After several attempts at heating the water to 212 F degrees, the water never heated above 208 F degrees. It looked like it was boiling, but it never reached the 212-F point although the base indicated it had reached boiling point. I have an instant-read Thermoworks Thermapen and I have never had a reason to suspect it is not accurate. The next problem was with the 'stay-warm' setting. The kettle doesn't maintain the temperature automatically as stated in the manual. You have to play around with the button, and even then, I discovered the water temperature kept decreasing. It stayed at 205-F for a while (the manual states that is the highest degree it will stay warm at), but after a few minutes, the temperature began to decrease. There is nothing "easy-to-use" about this digital kettle's base or the instructions on how to set the stay-warm feature. It is difficult to see if the stay-warm light is on or not, or what it means when it is 'blinking.' I found both the base and the manual's instructions confusing and I'm not a luddite when it comes to electronics. When you lift the kettle off the base and then return it, you have to press the stay-warm feature again and hope it works (it didn't). But if it did, you'd still have to remember to push that button every time you lift to pour and return the kettle to the base. The black metal of the kettle is pleasing and the kettle is a good size -- a full liter. The base is shiny plastic which will easily scratch and show those scratches. Plus it doesn't match the kettle's matte finish. Odd decision there. The gooseneck spout is well-positioned and pours smoothly at a good speed. However, it took me less than an hour of testing to decide to return this kettle. I cannot recommend it.

Tomen en cuenta que es de 1.7litros y tiene un diseño alto (la anterior que usaba era de 1.5lts mucho mas bajita) Normalmente yo hiervo el agua y tiene un boton directo para eso que es muy conveniente Tiene un display que va mostrando la temperatura en grados F Es rapida Dicen que la tapa no abre mucho, a mi me parece bien.. Por dentro es de metal, por fuera parece tener una cubierta de plastico En general se ve de muy buena calidad

Love the size and digital display, It matches my toaster that is also piano black with digital display. The handle is a little big but don't really notice it anymore. I never had a kettle that you could select the temperature you want and it is easy to do so. Also has a keep warm feature where you can leave the kettle and it will keep heating as needed to stay at that temperature. As far as performance I would have to say it heats up fairly quick compared to my previous kettles. It is very nice quality, not cheaply made by any means. On the down side when you pick up the kettle from base it doesn't remember your settings other than temp setting when you replace it on base however its so easy to set its not an issue for me. The other thing id although the lid opens up easily by pushing the button i feel it should open wider than it does, kind of have to tilt it a bit if you have a large pull down sprayer faucet but again not a deal breaker. I hummed and hawed awhile before purchasing as I never heard of krups but im so glad I purchased it as I think compared to the price of other kettles this is a steal for the quality and size.

For years I refused to use an electric kettle, because I didn't want my hot water coming into contact with plastic (hello carcinogens!). Most kettles have a plastic viewing-window to indicate the water level, even if they're stainless steel. This is the first electric kettle I've encountered that doesn't boil your water in plastic - YAAAAY!!! It's so quick! I grind my coffee beans / pack them into my coffee maker, and the water's already boiled. I love seeing the temperature as it heats. The exterior looks completely black, but when you hold under direct light it's actually a translucent eggplant (little hidden surprise for people who appreciate colour). It might scratch, so I use an extra fine buffing cloth to dry the exterior. To keep the interior from getting cloudy scale buildup, I use 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water inside the kettle once per week and let it soak overnight. Vinegar & water mix can be reused many times if you dump it into a spare container. You can skip the vinegar bath, if you're not fussy. I paid around $95 CAD, more than I've spent on a kitchen gadget before. It's been the best purchase, completely worth it to me. I absolutely love this kettle.

De calidad, fácil de usar, calienta el agua rápido, estilo moderno. Sólo viene en Fahrenheit, pero uno se acostumbra rápido. Muy satisfecho con mi compra.

It's nice looking, functioning kettle but If you're looking for something that 100% stainless steel, this is may not for you. Part of the lid is made out of plastic. So, when you boiling or pouring the water steam and hot water come through the plastic lock in the sprout. (See the pic). It only beep when it start to boil, and beep twice when it reached the temperature. I don't feel it's very study, but honestly I'm tired of looking for a nice, solid kettle with good price , so I would just keep this....
