Tea Kettles: Reviews

Updated December 2011
If you're a regular tea drinker or you make coffee using a French press every day, you'll probably want to purchase an electric tea kettle, as they boil water in about half the time of a stovetop kettle. Traditional stovetop kettles come in a wider array of designs and color choices, though. We sorted through professional and user reviews to recommend the best electric and stovetop tea kettles.
