How to choose
Match capacity to your daily cups
Capacity here runs from 0.8 liters to 1.7 liters. A 0.8 liter gooseneck suits a small pour at a time, while a 1.7 liter kettle covers up to seven cups in one boil. Check the capacity figure against how many cups you pour in a morning, and pick the size that still covers that count.
Wattage and boil time
Wattage here is 1000 watts for the Chefman and 1500 watts for the other four kettles. The Cosori boils 6 cups in 3–6 minutes, and the Chefman boils water in as little as 3 minutes. Compare wattage with capacity, since a larger kettle at the same wattage takes longer to bring more water to a boil.
Use the water window and eco-cup marks
A water window shows how much water is inside before you switch the kettle on. The Hamilton Beach and Laura Ashley kettles both have one, and the Laura Ashley adds eco-cup measurements for measuring a single boil. Filling only the amount you plan to pour avoids heating extra water, which is the point of the eco-cup marks. Check the window before each boil so the level matches the cups you need.
FAQ
Which kettle here is the lightest?
The Chefman gooseneck is the lightest kettle here at 1.7 lb. It holds 0.8 liters and draws 1000 watts.
What size kettle do I need for seven cups?
A 1.7 liter kettle covers up to seven cups: the Elite Gourmet, Hamilton Beach and Laura Ashley kettles all hold 1.7 liters. The Cosori holds 1.5 liters, or 6 cups.
Do all five kettles shut off on their own?
Yes. Each of the five kettles has auto shut-off, and each also has boil-dry protection. The Cosori shuts off 30 seconds after a rolling boil, and the Laura Ashley powers off when lifted from its base.
What does a gooseneck spout do?
A gooseneck spout narrows the pour so water flows in a slow, controlled stream. The Chefman kettle uses one, and its lid lifts out for filling while a water-level gauge shows how full it is.
