Care & maintenance
Stainless steel and plastic are forgiving. The limescale is not.
- Descale monthly: Fill halfway with equal parts water and white vinegar, bring to a boil, let sit for 20 minutes, rinse three times. Mineral buildup slows heating and mutes the display.
- Wipe the exterior: Damp cloth only. The touch controls are water-resistant, not waterproof, no running it under the tap.
- Empty after use: Sitting water leaves mineral rings. Pour it out, leave the lid open to air-dry.
- Keep the base dry: Wipe spills off the heating base immediately. Water in the electronics voids the warranty.
Frequently asked
What are the preset temperatures for?
Each preset matches a tea type or coffee method: 45 °C for delicate whites, 60 °C for green tea, 85 °C for oolong, 90 °C for black tea, full boil for French press or pour-over.
How long does the keep-warm function last?
Up to 2 hours at your selected temperature. The kettle cycles the heating element on and off to hold the target temp without re-boiling. Useful for multiple cups without reheating from scratch.
What is the difference between the black and white models?
The black model has a rectangular digital display and preset buttons for 45 °C, 55 °C, 70 °C, and 85 °C. The white model has a circular dial display with presets at 45 °C, 55 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 90 °C.
Does it boil faster than a standard kettle?
About the same, 1000–1500W is standard. The advantage is precision, not speed. You set 85 °C, it stops at 85 °C. A basic kettle boils everything to 100 °C and forces you to cool it down or wait.
Can I use it for pour-over coffee?
Yes, but the spout is not gooseneck-style, so pouring control is basic. You heat to 93–96 °C, pour carefully, and it works. For precise spiral pours, a gooseneck kettle is the better tool.
