This product is so good and best for different teas with different temperatures settings and can keep warm on setting temperature. Add water directly from lid is so convenient to use and lower lid damage with big open for easier cleaning. Highly recommended.

Terrible build quality - only lasts 4 months!
Purchased during Black Friday sales 2025, worked fine until January 2026, then began throwing “E1” (dry-boil) error codes whilst full of water. It would also occasionally drip a small amount water from the base holes - usually after boiling. This happened more and more frequently until April I could no longer clear the “E1” code by letting the kettle cool completely. I returned it to the store in April 2026 and got a replacement - which has only lasted until August 2026 with the exact same issue! Clearly the build is of terrible quality and perhaps even the design is also fatally flawed as it seems to not take into consideration the need to seal the electronic components against water in its gaseous form - an essential function in an appliance whose entire job is to create steam by boiling water! Returning it and planning to switch to an entirely different product and brand instead.

Perfect…
Easy to fill, glass and lights look good and no plastic touches the water, just what I was after.

seems attractive but has its pitfalls
Shows the exact temperature of the water. Top filling lid does not open enough to fill water, but the lid is easy to remove and put back anyway.

Simple and easy to use with a great design !
Design is great. I really like the top flap that allows you to pour water straight into without having to press any latch/button to open. The temperature control buttons on the top are also easy to use. Overall, a great product.

Very good kettle
Very good design that allow you to fill up directly from the tap without opening the lid. Variable temperature means more flexibility and a quicker boil. This is my second kettle and I bought it as a gift to my friend.

At a glance
The Durapres Boil IQ is a digital 1.8 L kettle built for households that enjoy tea and coffee at different brewing temperatures. It stands out with adjustable heat settings, a removable tea infuser, and a keep-warm function for added convenience. The glass and stainless steel design looks modern on the benchtop. One limitation is its 600 W power, which may heat more slowly than higher-powered premium kettles.

Things to consider
With 600 W power, it may take longer to boil than higher-wattage kettles aimed at users who prioritise the fastest possible heating.
Family size suitability
8/10 - 1.8 L capacity is well suited to couples and small families needing multiple cups at once.
Entertaining suitability
7/10 - good capacity and keep-warm support casual hosting, though frequent large groups may want faster boiling performance.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - digital controls, 360-degree base, trapdoor filling, and visual indicators make day-to-day use straightforward.
Noise level vs category
Average - typical kettle boiling noise with no special quiet-operation feature stated.
Travel friendliness
Low - designed for benchtop home use rather than compact packing or portable travel.
Key benefits
- Digital Temperature Control: Lets you choose from 70 to 100 °C for better-suited tea and coffee preparation.
- 1.8 L Capacity: Provides enough hot water for multiple cups, making it practical for couples and families.
- Removable Tea Infuser Filter: Allows loose-leaf tea to steep directly in the kettle for added brewing convenience.
- Keep-Warm Function: Maintains your selected temperature for up to 30 minutes so water stays ready between pours.
- 360-Degree Base: Makes it easy to lift, return, and position the kettle from any angle.
- Trapdoor Filling Lid: Simplifies refilling by letting water in even when the lid stays in place.
- Stainless Steel and Glass Body: Delivers a modern look that suits contemporary benchtops.
- Heating Status Lights: Blue light while heating and red when boiled give a quick visual cue from across the kitchen.
Q: Can I brew loose-leaf tea directly in this kettle?
A: Yes. The Durapres Boil IQ includes a removable tea infuser filter, so loose-leaf tea can steep directly in the kettle instead of needing a separate pot. It is best suited to tea brewing, not heating milk, soup, or other liquids.
Q: Does the keep-warm function hold a selected temperature or reboil?
A: It holds the selected temperature rather than running a full new boil each time. Durapres Boil IQ can maintain the chosen heat for 30 minutes, which suits multiple cups, but it is not designed to keep water hot indefinitely.
Q: How does the trapdoor lid work when filling from the tap?
A: The lid has a trapdoor that lets water in while the lid stays in place, so top-ups are simpler at the sink. It is designed for direct filling rather than opening the kettle fully each time, which can be handy on a busy benchtop.
Q: Is the 600W power suited to fast everyday boiling?
A: Durapres Boil IQ is rated at 600W and includes a Quick Boil setting for faster heating when you want boiling water sooner. It is aimed at normal household drink-making rather than the higher-power performance some larger kettles focus on.
Q: What temperatures can I choose for tea and coffee brewing?
A: Durapres Boil IQ lets you select temperatures from 70 to 100 degrees, which gives more control than a boil-only kettle. That range suits drinks that need less than full boiling water, while Quick Boil is there when you want maximum heat.
Q: Will the glass body need more care than a plastic kettle?
A: Yes. The stainless steel and glass body gives clear water visibility and a more premium bench look, but glass generally benefits from a bit more care around knocks than a basic plastic kettle. It is better suited to fixed benchtop use than travel.
