1. The Mindestbefüllmenge should be only 0.25 l, since I live alone and sometimes just need only a quarter liter of hot water
2. The kettle should have different heat settings, so I as tea drinkers always have the ideal water temperature.
3. He should be red.
After a long and extensive search I am met with this kettle, which met all three requirements. The price has indeed leave me already swallow anything - he was at the absolute limit of what I wanted to spend for a kettle - but the customer reviews and pictures have then let me strike that.
Meanwhile my kettle is diligently since about half a year in use and I really very happy with it. The water goes boiling Ruck-Zuck, pouring runs without the hassle dripping off and the temperature levels are just awesome. So that every tea tastes just perfect. For this he is pleasantly quiet during cooking. The beep is also great, because I hear the same when the desired temperature is reached.
What bothers me personally is that the lid can not be opened completely. Fill direct from the tap is certainly not a problem, but I live in an area with very hard water, so you have my water filter always before I can use it. That said, I befülle the kettle from the Brita carafe, and because the filling is still somewhat small that you have to have "the tongue just take in the mouth" has, as the saying goes in such a way so that nothing spills beside. For the price range this is a real drawback for me. Therefore there is also a star deduction.
All in all, however, is the kettle really good and I do not want to miss him in my kitchen.
