Kettles aren't exactly the highest tech appliance, but as artisan teas grow in popularity, it's more and more handy to have one on standby. However, they're usually utilitarian, ugly appliances, not ones you want to have out on your countertop.
The Smeg 50s Retro Kettle aims to solve this with a kettle that looks as good as it boils water. Sure, it does the basics, but with 6 temperature presets, a soft close lid, to fill, low noise levels and a drip-free spout, it's as luxury a kettle as you're likely to find.
