This is the electric kettle that produces a perfect cup of tea or French press coffee in as little as seven minutes. Made by Breville, the 85-year-old Australian company renowned for its quality kitchen appliances, this seven-cup tea kettle has a 1,500-watt heating element that brings 1 1/2 liters of ice-cold water to boil in under seven minutes. Five pre-programmed settings heat water to the ideal temperature for green, white, oolong, and black tea, as well as French press coffee. A Keep Warm setting maintains the perfect temperature for 20 minutes, while auto shut-off prevents the kettle from boiling dry. The sparkling clear German Schott glass carafe lifts off the stainless-steel heating base for table service. The contoured handle has a built-in lid release button that opens the lid slowly so hands are not scalded by escaping steam. Holds 57 oz. 10 1/2" H x 7 1/4" W x 6" D. (4 lbs.)
