Making a great cuppa couldn’t be simpler: fill the kettle, flick the switch, wait for it to boil, then pour the water into your mug. But did you know that using scalding-hot water could actually ruin the flavour of your coffee or speciality tea? That’s where one of the best temperature-control kettles comes in, helping you brew every drink at its ideal temperature for the best possible taste.
These appliances (also known as variable temperature kettles) offer precision heating for optimal flavour, aroma and even nutritional value, as well as saving on energy use. Regular black tea may be robust enough to take 100C, but boiling water tends to over-extract compounds from tea and coffee, leading to a bitter taste and altered aroma, or destroying beneficial nutrients altogether.
