In T3’s KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review, I made many cups of tea and coffee to fully test how well it performs. After copious amounts of hot drinks, I can confidently say that the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is a brilliant choice to introduce to your kitchen.
When it comes to rating and reviewing thebest kettles, it might sound like a pretty straightforward job. But after testing out the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L, I’ve come to realise how bad the kettles I’ve used in the past have been. Flimsy lids, mucky materials and quick limescale build-up was something I overlooked as I only needed a way to boil water and didn’t care too much about anything too technical.
But after using the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L for a month now, I’ve realised how nice it is to customise the heat of the water to get the most out of my different types of hot drinks. Read on for my full KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review.
KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review: Unboxing and set-up
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L arrived in a cardboard box and minimal packaging which always wins big points for me, in terms of sustainability and recycling. After unpacking the kettle, which came with the main kettle body, base with power cord and removable limescale filter, I enjoyed the sleek and simple design and found the kettle to be extremely lightweight (even when filled with water).
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is available in multiple bold colours that KitchenAid is well known for, but I tried out the stainless steel version as it fit in nicely with the appliances I already had in my kitchen.

KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review: Design and features
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is a generously sized kettle with a big 1.7-litre water capacity. The kettle has a stainless steel body and non-drip spout, and sits on a 360° base. The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L has dual-wall insulation that stays at the desired temperature for up to 30 minutes after it’s heated up
The most impressive part and the main selling point of the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is its customisable temperature. With some teas and coffees, the temperature of the water you use can positively and negatively affect how the drink will taste. Using the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L, you can make green and white teas at a lower temperature to enhance the delicate flavours, while also heating the kettle to its full temperature for strong drinks like coffee, black, herbal or rooibos tea.

KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review: Performance
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L looks sleek, classy and attractive. Even when filled with water, the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L has a nice weight and is easy and comfortable to hold, fill and pour. It holds a decent amount of water so you can make a large amount of teas, coffees and other hot beverages at a time.

KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review: Price
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is £179 and available to buy atKitchenAidand select retailers likeAmazon. You can also buy the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L as part of a breakfast set with its matching toaster. Considering the price of other kettles, the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L is a little expensive but I expect it to last a while, plus it does a lot more than just boil water.

KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L review: Verdict
The KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L does exactly what it says on the tin but better. It boils water at whatever temperature you like and it looks good doing it! The temperature gauge is a nice touch and lets you get the best flavours and strength out of the coffees and teas you make. Is it expensive for a kettle? Yes but it’s worth it and will last you a lifetime.
KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle review: Alternatives to consider
The best alternative to consider is theSage the Soft Top Pure Kettle. The design and looks are similar to the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L with its capacity and windows, but it’s a little cheaper.
If you’re a KitchenAid fan, theKitchenAid Artisan Kettle 1.5Lis a good alternative to the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle 1.7L. It has a fun curvy design, adjustable temperature settings and powerfully quick boiling.
