I’ve been using my Breville variable temp kettle multiple times daily for close to 10 years and it is still going strong! It is nice looking and heats water fast (even if I use chilled water from the fridge). I’ve only ever used filtered water in it, so have never had any kind of buildup in it. Honestly, I really want a gooseneck pour over kettle because I only make pour over coffee, but I can’t bring myself to part with my Breville that has served me so well for so long! I give it 10 out of 5 stars!
Best kettle I've ever owned
I bought this kettle several years ago. In love is an understatement. It is by far the best kettle ever. Today it died and I ma buying another
Best kettle I've ever used. Water tastes better (a couple friends own Breville kettles, so I already knew that), and my green tea tastes better with the lower temperature available on this model. We love our Breville toaster oven, so I figured this model might be worth the extra for the features, and it totally is. Very easy to use, convenient. (Our old kettle croaked, so we were boiling water in pots for a few months. Too slow, and sometimes forgot. So there's the price of a new saucepan. So over that.)I love the pull ring on the Breville power cords, great to keep them in good condition with frequent unplugging.Enjoyed placing the order by phone, BTW. Glad you employ live people.
We drinks different beverages - coffee, tea, coco, french press - so this is a great product for us. The only thing we don't like is the high pitched noise the kettle makes when you start it and first put place the pot after filling it. This drives our dog crazy.Pros:Clear Boiling Indicator, Comfortable Grip, Tight LidCons:High pitched noise
I saw this at a tea tasting and thought I might like the features. In the past I have had to buy a new electric tea kettle every year as they wear out(one was even a respected brand name). But I have had this one almost 2 years now and it works like new and looks like new. I use it every day and so does my husband. I bought my first one for my office and I liked it so much I bought another one for home. I am a tea drinker myself, but the guy in the office next to me asks to use it for his French Press. I will never go back to the old type of electric kettle again.Pros:Clear Boiling Indicator, Comfortable Grip, Tight Lid, Temperature Selection, Boils QuicklyCons:
does anyone know if this is BPA free. does boiled water come in contact with the plastic window?
Gail just read that it is B.PA free
Unfortunately the water does come into contact with the window in the Breville Variable temperature kettle, and Breville does list that the window is NOT BPA free. I have included a little more information from their site below:Q: Does the window in the Variable Temperature Kettle contain BPA?I have seen an answer that claims all the plastics Breville uses are BPA free. It was not addressing the variable temperature kettle with the polycarbonate windows. Does the window in the variable temperature kettle contain BPA?A: Yes, the polycarbonate window contains BPA.The window in the Variable Temperature Kettle is made of polycarbonate and does contain BPA.

Does this heat water quickly?
yes
I timed mine this morning. It took 8.5 minutes to boil the max amount of water (1800) at the highest Black Tea temperature. Is that quick?
Yes it does. But I should tell you that all electric kettles heat water faster than a pan on gas stove. I can not explain why but they do. It is a fact of life and I have tested it. Chef's choice I had before the breville was even faster I believe and cheaper as I remember. -
