Stovetop and Electric Tea Pots & Water Kettles
Stop putting your coffee mug in the microwave when you're craving a hot cuppa. Abt's tea pots and water kettles are designed to brew a great cup of tea every time. With hues ranging from sleek stainless steel to retro pastels, water kettles are available in multiple styles so you can choose the best match for your kitchen's design style. Depending on your preference, you can opt for a classic stovetop kettle or an electric kettle. Electric kettles don't need to be put on the stovetop which often makes them safer— there's no flame, so you don't have to worry about breaking the kettle from overheating or burning your hand on the handle. Classic water kettles can boil water to higher temperatures, but electric kettles can boil water faster. Whistling is also a deciding factor. Do you find that signature high-pitched noise charming or headache-inducing? It's fine to use your microwave, but a kettle is more reliable and efficient for boiling water. Additionally, you may need boiling water for things other than tea. If you're a college student, an electric kettle is a great way to easily cook instant ramen while living in a dorm where a stove is absent and hot plates are forbidden. Simply boil your water and pour it into the cup. You can make instant oatmeal the same way. As electric kettles let you set the exact water temperature, they can also be used to boil water for heating baby bottles. Classic tea pots are charming and give an old-world feel to your kitchen. Each has their pros and cons so do your research before purchasing.
The difference between our tea pots goes much deeper than electric versus classic. Each individual boiler offers a slew of unique features so you can find your perfect match. Le Creuset is known for their amazing cookware but they also make gorgeous classic tea kettles that will look perfect perched on your cooktop. Breville offers a huge variety of kettle options. You can choose their Crystal Clear glass kettle to keep an eye on the inside of your kettle or the One-Touch tea maker that completes the tea brewing process from start to finish for you. Different teas need to be brewed at different temperatures so a kettle that can adjust the water temperature based on your desired drink will brew the cup every time. If aesthetics are your top priority, Smeg is the way to go. Their retro shape and fun colors are a great way to add color to your kitchen. Do you live in a hot climate? We even offer specific iced tea makers for a delicious cold sip. It's difficult to choose between all the great tea pots we carry.
