Calling All Tea Lovers: Your Kitchen Needs One Of These Stylish Electric Kettles

It's likely that a warm beverage is an essential part of your morning or self-care routine. Whether you love sipping on a hot cup of Earl Grey while skimming the morning headlines or are rushing to throw together a chai to chug on your way to the gym, a good tea kettle is a kitchen essential. The best part is that most of them look super cute, so they basically double as home decor, too.

Not a tea person? You can even use this to boil water for pasta or rice when you're in a rush, or to make a cup of pour-over coffee. In fact, you don't even need to have a kitchen to benefit from a good tea kettle. A quality kettle can make a great gift to the college student in your life who's living in a dorm for the first time. (They'll thank you when those late night ramen and caffeine cravings hit.)

Before thinking about the type of tea kettle you want, you'll want to consider your priorities. If you're looking for something that'll look gorgeous on your kitchen counter, you can't go wrong with Smeg's iconic aesthetic or a minimalist gold vibe. Or, maybe you just want a kettle big enough for tea time when your family's in town. You'll want this tea kettle that can hold up to two liters of hot water.
