Awesome
Soft opening lid — the signature feature, opens gently with a button press rather than flipping hard Variable temperature settings — lets you dial in specific temps (70°C, 80°C, 90°C, 100°C) for different teas and pour-overs Keep Warm function — holds temperature for 20 minutes, handy if you get distracted Auto shutoff + boil dry protection — safety standard but well implemented Wide spout — easier to fill and pour compared to narrower kettles Illuminated water window — easy to see water level at a glance

Awesome
The best feature of this Breville Kettle is its Soft Open Lid which gradually release steam and prevent hot water splash-back, making it safer and more comfortable to use than many standard kettles.

At a glance
The Breville Soft Top Luxe Kettle Noir is a stylish 1.7 L kettle designed for everyday household use, from morning tea to small get-togethers. Its 2400 W concealed element, 360 degree base and ergonomic handle make it quick and easy to use. Stainless steel construction adds durability, while the removable mesh filter helps with upkeep. One limitation is that it does not offer variable temperature settings for specialty tea or coffee brewing.

Things to consider
It is well suited to general boiling needs, but premium kettles with variable temperature control may be a better fit for specialty tea or precise coffee preparation.
Family size suitability
8/10 - The 1.7 L capacity suits most singles, couples and families for regular daily use.
Entertaining suitability
7/10 - Good for small gatherings, though frequent refills may be needed for larger groups.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - Simple controls, clear water indicators, an ergonomic handle and a 360 degree base make everyday use straightforward.
Noise level vs category
6/10 - Comparable to most fast-boiling electric kettles, with no specific quiet-boil feature noted.
Travel friendliness
Low - Best suited to fixed kitchen benchtop use rather than travel due to its 1.7 L size and full-size base.
Key benefits
- 1.7 L capacity: Boils enough water for daily household use and small groups without frequent refilling.
- 2400 W concealed element: Delivers fast heating for quicker boiling during busy mornings.
- 360 degree swivel base: Lets you place the kettle back from any angle, which is convenient for left and right-handed users.
- Stainless steel body: Provides a durable build with a polished look suited to modern kitchens.
- Ergonomic handle: Helps make lifting and pouring more comfortable in everyday use.
- Water level indicators: Make it easier to measure the amount you need and avoid overfilling.
- Cord storage in base: Helps keep the benchtop tidier when the kettle is not in use.
- Removable mesh scale filter: Supports easier cleaning and helps reduce scale particles in poured water.
Q: Is this kettle good for green tea or pour-over coffee?
A: No. Breville The Soft Top Luxe Kettle Noir is built for fast boiling rather than temperature selection. It suits black tea, instant drinks and general kitchen use, but specialty tea and coffee brewing usually needs variable temperature control.
Q: Does this kettle have a keep warm or variable temperature mode?
A: No. This model focuses on boiling water quickly with its 2400W element rather than holding a selected temperature. If you regularly make delicate teas or pour-over coffee, a temperature-select kettle will be a better fit.
Q: Does the soft opening lid stop hot water splashing out?
A: Yes. The lid opens gradually rather than snapping hard open, which helps control steam release at the top. It is designed to reduce splash-back when opening, but the kettle still needs normal care when filling and pouring.
Q: Can I remove the filter to clean limescale buildup?
A: Yes. The mesh scale filter is removable, so it can be taken out for cleaning when mineral build-up appears. The concealed element also leaves a smoother base inside the kettle, which is simpler to wipe than an exposed coil design.
Q: Is the 1.7L capacity enough for several drinks at once?
A: Yes. A 1.7L capacity suits everyday household use and makes several hot drinks in one boil, which is handy when guests are over. It is a full-size benchtop kettle rather than a compact travel model, so it takes up regular counter space.
Q: Will the base work comfortably for left handed use?
A: Yes. The 360 degree swivel base lets the kettle be lifted and returned from any angle, so it is practical for left and right-handed use. That also helps on crowded benchtops where the handle position is not always easy to line up.
Q: Is it a cordless kettle when you pour?
A: Yes. The kettle lifts off the 360 degree base for filling, carrying and pouring, so the cord stays at the power point rather than moving with the jug. Cord storage in the base also helps keep excess cable off the benchtop.
