Kettles with temperature settings bring water not only to 100, but also to other degrees. This is important for different types of tea or a correctly filled hot water bottle. We’ll tell you the best ones in the test.
Note: Classification as a price tip or according to price limits is based on the cheapest shop offer in our price comparison; the price in the linked shop may differ.
Kettles with temperature settings differ only slightly from typical models in terms of handling. Instead of you flicking a switch and waiting for the device to finish cooking, it requires one more input. What this looks like depends very much on the model and manufacturer: Some kettles use analog levers so that you can always keep an eye on the selected temperature. It cannot then reset itself between runs. Others use a mix of displays, buttons, and LED indicator lights.
Temperatures usually range from around 40 °C (a good water bath temperature for warming baby milk bottles) to 70 to 80 °C (green or white tea) and 90 °C (for hand filter coffee or French press).
Also not to be despised: the keep-warm function. This means you don’t have to reheat the water if something distracts you for a long time between switching it on and stopping it.
Below we present recommended kettles with temperature settings from our range Kettle test before.
