Many Good Kettles
We’ve tried several kettles, but not all of them are rated as high as above. Here are a few that work well, but not as well.
Art and Cook Electric Glass Kettle for $43: When I first opened the Art and Cook electric glass kettle, there was one red flag: The packaging on the box and the instruction manual. This made me a little skeptical, but my experience over the past six months has been great. There is no LED light like on the Cosori to show when it is boiling, but it holds more water (1.8 liters instead of 1.7). It has a locking mechanism, but overall, I found it to be slow to boil.
Bonavita Digital for $130: This kettle is similar to the Stagg EKG I tried but cheaper. It has a gooseneck sprayer for easy watering, a temperature dial, a display, and a 0.9-liter capacity. You will have the option to create five presets that you use the most.
Bistro Tile x Haden 1.7 Liter Electric Kettle $128: This kettle is so cool, it has two tiled exteriors that make you feel like you’re in a Parisian coffee shop. There is one power switch and a temperature gauge on the front to determine the water temperature. You can’t control it like other electric kettles, and it doesn’t keep the heat and two options, but it’s very well designed. — Says Farrell
Try These Tea Kits

Oxo Brew Tea Infuser Basket for $15: This is our supplement for making green tea. Stainless steel is strong and doesn’t impart any flavor to the brewing process, and the auger does a great job of keeping particles out of the hot water. We love that the lid not only keeps the heat in but also doubles as a tray.
Kotubuki Matcha Tea Whisk for $24: If you are a matcha lover, this is a great whisk to have. Equipped with 80 bamboo bristles, it will help create a fine grind that brings out all the bright, grassy notes of a delicious cup of matcha.
East Fork the Mug for $44: These cups are expensive, but they are made with care. WIRED reviewer Jaina Gray says They “have a solid, slightly grippy feel that’s big enough for most hands and feels smooth and stable when you pick them up.” It also comes in a variety of fun colors (seasonal options included). You can buy single cups or a four packs $150.
Hydro Flask 32-Ounce Wide Mouth Vacuum Flask for $50: WIRED Editor-in-Chief Michael Calore uses this to keep freshly brewed tea hot throughout the day. Even after four or five hours, the tea is still hot. They consider it a must-have for on-the-go tea drinkers. For more information, be sure to check out our guide to Best Travel Mugs.
Tea Spot Sipping Cup Subscription for $20 (Monthly): This is a great subscription for new tea drinkers. Each box contains whole-leaf teas harvested from tea regions around the world.
