The Coffee & Tea Taste Better
I purchased the Breville Smart Kettle for myself and loved it so much that I bought a second one as a gift for a family member. The glass design looks beautiful, the features are excellent, and it truly is a smart kettle. The precise temperature settings make coffee and tea taste noticeably better. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful kettle
This kettle looks super classy in our kitchen and I love the different temperature settings - no more guessing. Took a star off because it can be a bit slow to pour the water out unless you tilt at a very specific angle. Otherwise great purchase!

Best kettle
It’s functional with temperature control. We were after a kettle that is plastic free and this one ticks the boxed as its stainless steel and glass.

Fun & Perfect Kettle
Really happy with our kettle purchase! It makes a nice beep when water is boiled and it definitely boils in1/2 the time of our 5 year old Sunbeam kettle. Love the settings for green tea, other teas and coffee too. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Key benefits
- Five Temperature Settings: Brew black, green, white, or oolong tea and coffee at the ideal temperature for each.
- Keep Warm Function: Maintains water at your chosen temperature for up to 20 minutes, ideal for multiple cups.
- 1.7L Large Capacity: Boil enough water for up to 7 cups, perfect for families or entertaining.
- Cordless Jug with 360° Base: Easy to lift and pour from any angle, with convenient cord storage.
- Soft Top Lid: Gently releases steam and reduces splashing for safer pouring.
- Glass and Stainless Steel Construction: Durable materials with a modern, easy-to-clean design.
- One-Touch Controls: Simple, intuitive operation for quick and precise heating.
- Customisable Settings: Option to adjust temperature for personal brewing preferences.
Q: Does the keep warm function stay on until you switch it off?
A: No. Breville The Smart Kettle keeps water at the selected temperature for 20 minutes per activation, then it stops. That suits making a few drinks over a short period, but it is not a continuous hold mode.
Q: Can this kettle heat water for coffee without boiling it fully?
A: Yes. Breville The Smart Kettle has a 95 degrees C setting for coffee, plus lower presets for green, white and oolong tea. That helps avoid using full boiling temperature when the drink calls for something lower.
Q: Is the jug easy to lift from either side?
A: Yes. The cordless jug sits on a 360-degree multi directional base, so it can be placed back from any angle. That is handy in shared kitchens and for either left-handed or right-handed use.
Q: Will the glass body make water levels easy to check?
A: Yes. The clear glass body makes the water level visible while filling and also makes it easier to spot residue or scale build-up. That can be useful if you want a quick visual check before boiling.
Q: How well does the lid control steam and splashing?
A: The Soft Top lid is designed for gentle steam release and reduced splashing when pouring. It favours a more controlled pour rather than an abrupt release, which can suit hot water service at the bench.
