Energy Efficient Kettle Buyer’s Guide
An energy efficient kettle is a relatively low-cost investment that will save you money, time, and help you have perfectly boiled water every time you want a cup of tea. But finding the best energy efficient kettle for your home can be tricky, with a huge range of features, designs and models available.
From your standard small capacity electric kettles perfect for just 1 or 2 cups of tea, to the energy efficient kettle designed to make tea for an entire office, here’s what to look out for when it comes to energy efficient kettles.
Energy Efficiency
All electric kettles will be able to boil small amounts of water to save you time and money. They will also work very fast, often boiling enough water for a single cup in just a few seconds. A good filter will improve the taste of your tea and coffee, as well as keeping your kettle performing with maximum functionality.
Eco-Friendly
While most energy efficient kettles are eco friendly, you can do even better by only boiling the amount of water you need. Your energy efficient kettle can also be made with eco-friendly, BPA-free materials.
Water Level Indicator
A water level indicator will increase the energy efficiency as you only boil the amount you need. Kettles with clearly labelled number of cups are best, as opposed to mls, as it makes tea-making a little simpler!
Time to Boil
If you can’t think of anything worse than having to wait for your morning cuppa, a kettle that’s quick to boil is best. Some energy efficient kettles have a much lower wattage than normal kettles. While this will save money, it usually means your water will take a lot longer to boil.
Multi-Temperature
Any herbal or green tea fans will know that the perfect temperature is different for every tea, and some electric kettles allow you to choose from a range of different temperatures..This also increases the energy efficiency as you’ll only boil the kettle to the temperature you need.
Auto Shut Off / Safety Features
An auto shut off and dry boil protection means your kettle will turn off once the water is boiled, and you won’t be able to turn on the kettle without enough water. Other good safety features including a 360 swivel base which allows you to lift the kettle easily whether you are left or right handed, and a keep cool lid and handle to stop you burning yourself.
