aarkeKettle | Stainless Steel Hot Water Kettle | 360° Swivel Base | 1.2L / 5 Cups - Steel

Before buying this beautiful Aarke stainless steel kettle, I read many many reviews and looked at several other of the stainless steel interior electric kettles.I actually bought the Saki Pro kettle, but just returned it because no matter which setting you put it on, the kettle would heat the water to 212 degrees. They said they were planning on sending out a software update to fix this problem. Not sure how that would happen since this is a “dumb” kettle with no internet access.Back to the Aarke kettle. Some reviews said they wished it beeped when it’s done. It DOES beep. You have to turn it on though, just follow their instructions.This kettle heats to 185 degrees in just a couple minutes. It is very quiet compared to the Saki which was very noisy.The Aarke kettle insides are all stainless except for the small piece of a silicone seal at the top.I have used this several times now and don’t regret my purchase at all. If you can afford to pay $250 for a kettle, I highly recommend this one. It is perfect. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

I was looking to find a kettle to heat water, but couldn’t find something I really liked, So, I decided to take a chance on this surprisingly expensive device. I was thinking I would likely return it, because it just heats water, right? That it does. But it is the most beautifully designed, perfectly working device I have seen in a long time. It actually lifts my spirits as I go about preparing my French press coffee. The lid opens with the flip of a button, but on a damper. It shows required water minimum and maximum clearly stamped into the stainless steel. The obviously well built coil that very rapidly heats the water lets me know it is serious in what it does. It beeps to let me know it is at that exact temperature, and holding. And, sure enough the water is heated to a series of preset temperatures that accommodate most anyone. I use the 200° setting for French press as my default. I hate clutter, but this device sits permanently on my kitchen counter because it is highly polished and beautiful to see. I find it cathartic to burr grind great dark roast beans that have been vacuum sealed, and use the perfect temperature water to seep the coffee grounds. This elegant water kettle is a big part of that ritual. I HIGHLY recommend it.

This guy is fast. Heating 40 oz (near the max) takes just under 5 mins. In comparison the Bonavita Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle takes 8 mins for the same amount of water.Be sure to fill to max, boil, and dump the first few times to clean the kettle out.I wanted to address another review that I thought was a little bit misleading. This product uses food grade silicone (NOT plastic) in a few places -- around the temp sensor and at the lid. Silicone cannot and does not leach or break down with temperatures that can be reached by water. Silicone starts to break down at 428°F (220°C) but water cannot get above 212°F (100°C).There are no microplastics possible in this product. It's a great kettle so far!

Had to return this product once and the second one stopped working as well! The kettle looks beautiful but is of no use if it stops working within 3 weeks of purchase - twice! I have reached out to Aarke and I am hoping they will get this $225 dollars kettle working again.

It works perfectly, built well and looks very nice.

Love this Kettle! Very functional and I love the ss finish

Beautiful to look at and very quick to boil water. Caveat: it holds only about 8 cups of water, if you're making drip coffee. That's enough for us, but maybe not enough for more than 2 people.

The kettle does a quick and quiet job. Aesthetically pleasing silhouette makes it a nice place for an everyday appliance. I took one star off because the company doesn’t make it easy for customers to see all the materials used to build the kettle. I was really hoping there would be no plastic in the kettle itself, but after I bought it, I see there’s plastic in the lid. So if you are looking for a 100% plastic-free kettle, then you’ve got to keep looking.The kettle does keep water hot for a good while, and the outside of the kettle doesn’t get too hot where it’s dangerous to touch. The non-drip pour spout works super well…like I’m not sure you can get a drip even if you tried!
