How to choose
Capacity and weight
Capacity sets how much water one boil gives: 1.7L on the Cosori and KEINVE, 1.5L on the KRUPS and Fellow, and 1.0L on the YPJKR. Weight sets how heavy the kettle is to lift: the KRUPS weighs 1.9 lb, the YPJKR 2.1 lb, the Cosori 2.4 lb and the Fellow 3.5 lb. Match capacity to how many cups you pour at once, and weight to how comfortable the kettle feels in the hand.
Presets and keep-warm
A preset sets the water to a fixed temperature, while keep-warm holds that temperature after boiling. The KEINVE has 6 presets with keep-warm for up to 30 minutes, and the YPJKR has 7 settings with keep-warm for up to 4 hours. The KRUPS also has a keep-warm setting, while the Cosori and Fellow heat to boiling with auto shut-off. Pick presets if you brew tea and coffee at different temperatures.
Materials and cleaning
Stainless steel interiors appear on all five picks, and the Cosori and KEINVE keep plastic away from the water. The Cosori, KEINVE and YPJKR list hand wash only, so wash them by hand. The Fellow has a drip-free spout and clear fill lines, which help avoid spills when you pour.
