Not plastic
The soft green glasss. Boils quickly and quietly. I have arthritis so it's not difficult to grip the handle and lift the jug.

High-quality, fast, and remarkably safe
I recently upgraded to this Breville kettle and couldn't be happier. The "soft open" lid is a brilliant feature—it releases steam slowly so you don't get a face full of vapor or hot splashes when refilling. It boils 1.7L of water surprisingly fast and has a premium, sturdy feel that puts cheaper plastic kettles to shame. I also love the dual water windows and the clear "ding" when it’s finished boiling. It’s stylish, easy to pour, and well worth the extra few dollars for the build quality alone. Highly recommended!

Best Kettle
I had this kettle over 15 years I go and when it broke I have been through about 4 kettles since and none compare. Just bought it again and wow it makes a difference when you get quality. Much more sturdy and once boiled the water stays hotter in the jug for longer. Also has a bigger capacity. Love it, don’t regret spending the extra money. Last sunbeam kettle I bought only lasted 4 months.

Good Kettle
Good kettle, however, not totally BPA free so I upgraded to a Breville Glass kettle. As these are safer to use.

Excellent Quality and Looks Very Stylish
I have purchased this kettle for years. Love that it works beautifully and looks very clean and stylish in the kitchen. Would have given 5 stars if they it was on sale more often.

Things to consider
It focuses on fast boiling and ease of use, so it does not offer variable temperature settings or hold-warm functions found on more premium or specialty kettles.
Family size suitability
8/10 - The 1.7 L capacity suits couples and small to medium families well.
Entertaining suitability
7/10 - Good for serving several cups at once, though frequent refills may be needed for larger groups.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - Simple controls, clear water windows and a 360 degree base make daily use very straightforward.
Noise level vs category
Average - Comparable to most fast-boil electric kettles in this class.
Travel friendliness
3/10 - Better suited to benchtop home use than travel due to its full-size 1.7 L design.
Key benefits
- 2400 W fast boil element: Heats water quickly for tea, coffee and instant meals.
- Soft-opening lid: Gently releases steam to help reduce hot water splashing when opening.
- 1.7 L capacity: Provides enough hot water for multiple cups in one boil.
- Dual-sided water windows: Makes water levels easy to see from either side of the kettle.
- 360 degree cordless base: Lets you place the jug back from any angle for easier everyday handling.
- Auto shut-off: Turns the kettle off at boiling point for added day-to-day convenience.
- Removable scale filter: Helps keep poured water cleaner and supports better flavour.
- Cord storage wrap: Helps keep the benchtop tidier when the kettle is not in use.
Q: Does this kettle have variable temperature settings for green tea?
A: No. Breville BKE700BSS is a boil-only kettle with auto shut-off at boiling point, not a variable temperature model. It suits everyday black tea, coffee and instant meals, but it is less precise for delicate teas that need lower heat.
Q: Are there plastic parts inside the Breville Soft Open Kettle Pro?
A: Breville BKE700BSS has a stainless steel body with dual-sided BPA-free water windows. It is not positioned as an all-glass or all-stainless-only construction, so buyers trying to minimise all plastic contact may prefer a different kettle style.
Q: Can left-handed users use the cordless base comfortably?
A: Yes. The cordless jug sits on a 360 degree multi-directional base, so it can be lifted and returned from any angle. That makes bench placement more flexible in shared kitchens and is handy if the kettle is used from either side.
Q: Why does the lid open slowly instead of flipping up?
A: The soft-opening lid releases steam gradually instead of springing open quickly. That makes refilling feel more controlled around a freshly boiled kettle, but it does not change the fact that this model still boils water to a full boil.
Q: Is the heating element exposed inside the kettle?
A: No. Breville BKE700BSS uses a concealed element rather than an exposed coil inside the jug. The flat interior is simpler to wipe and descale, and there is no exposed heating loop taking up space at the bottom.
Q: How does the removable scale filter help in daily use?
A: The removable scale filter sits at the spout to catch loose scale as you pour. It helps reduce flakes in the cup, but it does not stop scale building up inside the kettle, so regular descaling is still part of ownership.
