Why Choose a Glass Tea Kettle

A glass tea kettle is ideal because one can watch the water heat up and thus can pour off the water right at the point when it starts to boil. Our selection consists of electric glass kettles with an LED light while heating as well as purely design-oriented tempered glass kettles.

FAQs

What water temperature is best for different teas?

Use about 160–180°F for green tea, 160–185°F for white tea, 180–200°F for oolong, and 200–212°F for black and herbal teas.

How long should I steep tea?

Steep black tea for 3–5 minutes, green tea for 2–3 minutes, and herbal tea for 5–7 minutes. Longer steeping makes tea stronger and can turn green tea bitter.

How do I brew loose leaf tea?

Use about 1 teaspoon of loose tea per 8 oz of water. Steep it in an infuser or teapot, then remove the leaves when it reaches your preferred strength.

Is an electric kettle faster than a stovetop kettle?

Usually, yes. An electric kettle heats water directly and typically boils it in just a few minutes.

Why does my kettle get white buildup inside?

That white film is limescale, a mineral deposit from hard water. Using filtered water helps slow it down.

Should I leave water sitting in my kettle?

It's best to empty the kettle after each use. Standing water leads to faster mineral buildup and a flat taste.

Why does a stovetop kettle whistle?

As water boils, steam is forced through a small opening in the spout. That rush of steam makes the whistle that tells you the water is ready.

Can I make coffee with an electric kettle?

Yes. Use the hot water for pour-over, a French press, or instant coffee.

What else can I use an electric kettle for?

An electric kettle quickly heats water for instant soups, oatmeal, noodles, and hot chocolate.
