This kettle is very handy for making tea or coffee. It has precise temperature adjustments so you can have your drinks at just the right temperature every time. I don’t love scalding hot drinks so I love this feature. The kettle holds enough for multiple beverages but you can’t over fill it or it will boil over. To wash, you cannot submerge the pieces in water but the kettle is very easy to clean. Overall a very handy kitchen must-have for all your cold weather drinks!
