Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: T-Fal Vitesse 1.7L Kettle is ideal for more than just tea Comments: T-Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle
Super quick boil, attractive design, well-balanced in hand are my additions to the kudos given by other reviewers.
I do like the concept of variable temps, however, haven't noticed a significan not difference. That said, I boil a full pot on the highest setting even if I am having1mug of tea. The cooled remaining water goes into a jug for regular drinking and coffee prep. The tap water's chemical and chlorine taste is diminished and I am saving money, and the environment, by not purchaseing bottled water anymore. Win-Win for all!! |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: My favorite kettle yet Comments: I have used this kettle for well over a year now. I like ething about it. I like the automatic turn off feature, the variable temperature settings, the fact that it is cordless and how quick it heats water. I use it to heat water instead of my microwave, |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: Great kettle Comments: Got this to replace2previous t-fal kettles that worked great however ended up getting burned on my stovetop thanks to my inlaws. This kettle is of similar quality to my previous versions, however it's much bigger which is great and not so great. When you want to make just1cup it's not easy to measure the water because it doesn't even reach the minimum indicator level. Of course the increased capacity is nice when we have guests.
The thing that really makes this a great kettle for my purposes is that when set to the minimum temperature setting the water comes out perfect for brewing green tea, which is all I drink. Also it's done quicker and doesn't waste energy. I'd hate to go back to a kettle that brings water to a full boil all the time.
The only downside is it's made of plastic, and I am not crazy about eating or drinking anything that has been heated up in plastic due to any chemicals or toxins that may leach out of it. At 1st there was a burning plastic kind of smell however after the 1st few uses it went away completely, however I would endorse pouring the 1st few batches down the drain.
All in all it's been a great kettle for the 6 months I have used it, and I'd endorse it highly. |
