10 Best Electric Tea Kettles to Make the Best Cup of Tea, Noodles and Pour-Over Coffee

We updated this guide in February 2023 to ensure all products tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Culinary Innovation Lab were in stock, available and reflected accurate pricing.

Electric tea kettles are a must-have appliance for anyone looking to boil water quickly, whether it's for tea or faster pasta. Compared to stovetop kettles, they're often quicker, quieter and offer automatic shut-off features so you can walk away without risk while getting ready in the morning. The most convenient thing about electric kettles is that with a keep-warm feature, they keep water hot for much longer than a standard kettle.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab we found the best electric tea kettles on the market. When testing, we measure how long it took for kettles to come to a boil, settings for different types of teas and coffee, how well they maintained temperature, size and more. We know everyone's looking for something different, so our picks are tested and used in our own kitchens, as well as ones well-reviewed with especially unique features that set them apart from others.

On our list, you’ll find picks that run the gamut of average size, small and large, as well as basic ones that just boiled and ones that could be controlled in more detail.
