Beautiful and cool multi-functions
I love the look – black, sleek and simple – it fits in my traditional kitchen. I love the different temperature settings. I heat up water for my dog’s food on the lowest (140) setting and for my tea on the highest setting (212). It feels like a product that will last years – I hope. I use mine about 5 times a day. All of the other kettles I have owned (7) break down after a few months or a year or 2. I have had this 7 months so we will see, but so far no hitches. I had to contact customer service and I would give the guy I spoke with 10 stars. Stayed with me on the phone until I tested his answer on the kettle. I love that the company strives for excellence and has been in business since 1731! I love using it and the feeling of connecting to such an excellent company. The touch screen is easy – just a light touch of my finger. I like that it stays black until I touch it and then the temperature options all light up. It feels good to use a perfectly crafted kettle! I paid more for this kettle than any other I have owned but it seems beyond worth it. If I can, I will write another review in a few years and hopefully be able to say even more good things about it!

Excellent and safe electric kettle !
We love this electric kettle!! Our old electric kettle broke down, it wasn’t an easy task to find a new kettle. After 3 tries with other kettles which we returned because of different problems with products, I choose Zwilling product even though it was over my wife’s budget. I choose the simple model with no temperature controls and that was the best $$ spent.This kettle is the safest electric kettle, even it’s body is real cool to touch when water boils. It’s safe for children or elderly.Water boils quickly about 2 to 4 minutes depending on how much you fill.There is NO plastic parts that touch water, the removable filter is stainless steel.Some reviewers said that they found rust buildup after use. Not in my case, I had it for more than a month and all I found a bit of calcium buildup after a month. Cleaned it as recommended by manufacturer with vinegar and the stainless steel looks like I just took it out from the box.The kettle is not lightweight, it’s approx. 2.8 pounds. It’s no problem for me, my wife or children but my mother in law has to use two hands due to arthritis.Overall it’s a GREAT PRODUCT! Absence of temperature controls is no problem because we drink mostly black tea. And when I drink green/herbal teas just use a thermometer. Next time will choose temperature control Zwilling.

A few steps shy of great
For context, I’m mainly comparing this to the KRUPS BW801852, which is around half the price.The Zwilling boilers is nice looking. Plastic but premium feeling. And it boils to the temp you ask it to. Good so far. I have a few drawbacks to mention.1. The boiler cannot tell you the current temperature of the water inside. There is no display or anything – it just beeps when it arrives at the target. The Krups unit had such a display, which was handy because you can glance at it and know about how much longer it will take from where it’s at.2. When heating water, it will kinda turn quiet right before the end, and then seemingly turn on a few seconds later. It’s weird because it kinda tricks you into thinking it’s done, but it hasn’t beeped yet. If I remove it from its base during this quiet window and then replace it, it will boil (212 deg), even if that wasn’t the setting. Odd behavior, that.3. This unit has a power button. You have to turn it on and then select a temperature. You can leave it on all the time, but then the display will stay illuminated. With other boilers, you can skip the intermediate step because they wake up when you press buttons.4. Note that it’s a capacitive light-up buttons that are fixed by region. No switching between F and C. It’s not a screen. The pictures on this amazon listing include C readings, which I had hoped to get.5. This boiler has a base with a chin extending out. It’s a handsome base and it’s not large. But I do want to note that the Krups unit has the screen integrated into the boiler itself and does not have the chin jutting out.6. Some other boilers (not the Krups) have dials for precise temperature settings. Up to you if you think you might need that. I don’t feel the need and Zwilling has not included it here.Overall, I want potential buyers to know that you’d get a fairly premium-feeling boiler that isn’t functionally superior to another boiler that retails at half the price.

Simple Function, Clean Design, Cool Touch
If you’re looking for a kettle with a clean design and appearance to simply boil water and stay cool on the outside, this is one for you. If you’re looking for specific temp controls and additional features, Zwilling has a different model available. Heats water quickly. I like how it does not spout mass quantities of steam as it approaches and reaches boiling point, as my previous kettle did. One piece stainless interior easy to clean. The black plastic lid and handle will show off finger or hand marks more than the silver model, if that’s a concern. Overall I’m very happy with the kettle. Used multiple times daily for about a month, will see how long it lasts.

I got a lemon
Not sure if the kettle was damaged in shipping or if I received a lemon. The kettle was shipped in its original box with no extra padding. Although the kettle parts were enclosed in plastic bags, there was no instruction booklet. The kettle pretty much failed from the start. I tried it at multiple outlets before I could even get it to turn on. When it did work, it seemed to boil well and relatively quietly, but I couldn’t get it to turn on consistently.Also if anyone is wondering, the inside of the kettle is stainless steel, as is the inside of the lid. However, there is a silver filter attached to the lid by what appears to be some sort of silicone or plastic attachment. It cannot be detached from the lid. Although it would not come into contact with the water in the kettle, the steam generated from using the kettle would definitely come into contact with this piece. Since this silicone/plastic piece is flush with the lid, it does not seem to come into contact with hot water when you pour water from the kettle.

Everything I was looking for in a tea kettle as a tea and toxins person
First thing I did was inspect every surface that would touch the water. Didn’t find anything that wasn’t stainless steel. So not adding anything problementic to my water. Yeah! Also didn’t find a minimum water line so making small amounts if fine, less water and energy wasted.I also tested the temperatures at each setting other than the baby bottle setting and they were precisely matched on my thermometer.The cool touch is effective and the buttons easy to navigate. The keep warm truly keeps it at the stated temp which my Breville I used to have did not.After 3 months owning one, I’m so happy with it for safety (cool touch) and having all the features I wanted, from temp specific heating, nontoxic interior, and a coutertop display worthy sleek design that I just bought a second for my aging parents.

Didn’t last, many cons, good customer service.
Pros:1. Design and form function. I like the minimalistic look and slim form factor.2. Unfortunately not plastic free but does come close.3. I reached out to customer service about con #1 below. They asked me to record a video and send that to them. Following that, they sent me another kettle for free and asked me to send them the first one back. I count that as ultimately doing the right thing for the customer and I’m happy about the outcome. However, sending a video was a bit of a hassle. I hope the replacement lives longer.Cons:1. Didn’t live long enough. After a bit less than a year, the kettle started taking a lot longer to boil water. It wasn’t the fastest to start with. By the end, it was faster boiling water in a pot on the gas cookstove. A lot faster to use the microwave. I expect a premium product to last at least 5 years when used daily.2. The black kettle is a smudge magnet and I can’t get it to stay clean on the outside. The “dirty” look feels unsanitary but might be cosmetic only.3. Isn’t a true plastic free experience.4. Holds only 1.5L. It would have been nicer if it held a bit more water.5. The lid shuts tight but was slightly misaligned out of the box. This seems cosmetic only, not a functional issue.6. The base keeps swiveling sideways with repeated use, rotating until the cable points towards you instead of remaining facing behind the kettle. That’s annoying but still, a first-world problem I can overlook.7. I associated the brand name with quality and therefore accepted the high price point. I’m rethinking that due to this and other purchases in recent years.8. Would have been nice to have more color and texture finish options. Looks ok from afar. Feels cheap in the hand.9. Expensive for what it is. Seems like this should cost under $50 compared to others we owned and are for sale online and in local appliance stores. So, overpriced by about 100%. Knowing the cons, I likely won’t buy a Zwilling kettle again for anywhere near its current price.

Lid cracked in less than 6 months but Zwilling replaced the kettle
I loved the kettle until the plastic lid developed a 7/8″ crack clear through and the gold started flaking off the base – this within 6 months of gentle use. I thought Zwilling products should last longer than this. Zwilling agreed: When I contacted Zwilling directly, they apologized and sent me a replacement. I am very happy with the excellent customer service. This is the first and only problem I have experienced with Zwilling products over the years. It’s good to know they stand behind their products.

Poor quality
As much as I like the look, the quality is really bad. It started to rust only after 1 month of use. At 6 months, the lid is loose and the kettle no longer automatically shuts down when water is boiling. Not worth the price.Contacted the seller hoping for a replacement. No response yet.

Basic, lightweight and compact
I love the smaller size of both the kettle and the heating element, and the fact that the cord is thinner and a little more pliable/manageable than other kettle cords. The cord isn’t thin, but it is smaller than the cord on our previous kettle – a small hario gooseneck that had a cord and plug that were as thick and large as an outdoor extension cord. It is a basic kettle and there is no temperature control, so if you only need to boil water, this is a great, compact option. The kettle is super lightweight and a pleasure to use, though the button to open the lid sticks sometimes – but other than that, I’m very happy with it.

Beautiful and reliable but a bit unwieldy
This water boiler holds a lot of water 1.5l (or 3 pints for the imperial). The outside is black shiny plastic and the inside metal. It is easy to keep clean. The lid opens with a little pushbutton and opens enough that you can run water in but not as far as you’d expect.I use it for making pour-over drip coffee. There is a slight problem here as the whole thing filled with water is a bit heavy (3-4 pounds fully filled). And the spout is not for precise control. Four maximum pour control would recommend getting a boiler with a gooseneck spout.The 1500 watt heating element and the insulated pot make for quick boiling.

Great kettle but BEWARE! DO NOT PLACE IT NEAR A WOOD CABINET.
I love this kettle. It’s beautiful and easy to use but BEWARE! DO NOT PLACE IT NEAR A WOOD CABINET! Unfortunately, I placed my kettle under our wood cabinets and the steam from the kettle almost ruined the cabinet door. I’ve been working on the wood and I think it will be ok but I now place the kettle away from the cabinets and make sure the steam doesn’t touch it. I was going to purchase the simpler version that just turns on and off but I’m glad I splurged and bought the more versatile model. I’ve used a tea kettle for many years but love the convenience of this product.

Great water kett;e
This replaced my old water kettle that had that plastic on the handle that got sticky over time. This heats up fast and is easy to use. No bells and whistles, but it does what I need which is to heat water for bullion cubes and such when cooking. And great for instant hot water to make an Americano. Way faster than on the stove.

Nice looking with some drawbacks
Three stars for the sleek design and no plastic parts coming in contact with water. Now, here is the lowdown:1) capacity: the kettle is larger because the base is much thicker and the top max line is lower than other popular brands. I initially ordered a 1.5 l model, but it turned out to be huge. I ended up going with a 1 l which compares to my old 1.5 Aroma kettle on the overall size, but obviously fits 0.5 l less water.2) it is noisy; my pervious run-of- the mill kettle was quieter out of the box and got louder as it got older, but this one has been quite loud from the get-go; 3) scratches easily. I ordered the silver-colored option. It looks like a metal construction, but in fact the outside shell is painted plastic. It scratches quite easily. Despite careful treatment, the base has got a few unsightly scratches already.When it is time to replace it, I will look for a different model. Hopefully by that time there will be other options with no plastic on the inside.

BAIT & SWITCH?
We ordered this new modern kettle —and really like the design and function. However, we were under the impression it would have a low profile plug. It does not! why? Is the low profile electrical plug designed for a different market? In several YouTube videos it is demonstrated with a low profile plug—not European/international, but a standard low profile US electrical plug! The world is falling a part— but we would like 4” more inches of counter-space! See pics!

Unit ok but no instructions
Product did not include any literature, meaning no instructions or warranty information. Can you please send this information to me? I am already using the product but would like to know how to operate it and to register it. I am not sure if the box had been opened beforehand and the paperwork was lost (perhaps during Amazon transactions) or if it simply didn’t include such information, which is kind of frustrating after the elevated cost of the unit.In terms of usage the only inconvenience is that the lid doesn’t fully open, so it’s not so easy to clean inside. I saw on the web some cleaning instructions by boiling some vinegar “essence” with the can full of water, I wonder if they are refereing to vinegar itself or something else.

Beauty and Function in One Package
After years of using an enamel kettle on our gas stove we decided to go electric for both ease of use and general safety. We researched hundreds of kettles with some disappointments along the way due to plastic parts and peculiarly flavored water. We had interest in Zwilling and after looking one over in our local mall cooking store we decided to purchase it. We are very pleased with this kettle. It heats 1.5 litters of water to 212 degrees in 9 minutes (almost twice the speed of our gas stove). The design is clean and sleek. The kettle is very easy to operate although because of its very minimal design you will want to read the instructions to learn when to use the keep warm function. I would recommend this to anyone interested in an easy to use, minimal design, kettle with no plastic inside the kettle (just a very tiny, very tiny, silicon ring around the sensor).

A great kettle but with flaws (Rusting)
In terms of features, this is and has been a great kettle. It looks sleek and stylish much more so in person that it does online. It holds plenty of water and the massive lid opening makes it easy to fill. This of course is because of the “bottle feature” which allows you to place a baby bottle inside and warm. We actually use the “bottle” feature when making bread. The water temp is perfect for yeast/dough mixes.The temp settings all work great and the beeping noise lets you know when your desired option is ready.Would I buy one again? Nope.This is my first Zwilling purchase and the quality just isn’t there. We use this kettle a lot, probably 3-5 times a day. The lid is rusting around the rim. Others have mentioned this as well and to be honest, I brushed it off as users probably cleaning incorrectly or worse, using some kind of abrasive. Should have listened to them. $140 bucks and it’s rusting within two months. I’ve got a Breville Espresso machine that gets quite a bit of use. Tons of stainless steel on it and not a single bit of rust.So I’m not sure how the Zwilling lid is made or if (gasp) perhaps the lid needs to be made of plastic, but rusting within a month or two is just ridiculous.Perhaps you’ll have better luck but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the reviews drop over time. Initially I would have given this five stars. But check your lids if you’ve already purchased, I’m willing to bet there’s rust.

Functional but bulky
Performance is great, it heats water quickly, can be set to different temps, has no internal plastic and stays cool on the outside.The negatives: controls are digital touch buttons on a black base…to turn it on, you have to touch and hold just the right spot (unlit) on a black pad, then touch another spot to start it because it doesn’t remember the last temp. The kettle is big and bucket shaped, which I find awkward to handle.Bottom line: good functionality with annoying design quirks

Looks great; easy to use
Easy user interface: touch the base to power up, then touch the temperature you want. The temperature icon you select blinks and as the kettle warms up thru lower temperatures, the icons for those temps change from dim to bright. Once your temperature is reached, its icon stops blinking and turns on steady bright and the kettle emits 3 soft beeps. The kettle is beautiful and feels good. It fits easily onto the base; no struggle to align it. The interior is almost entirely smooth, one piece of stainless steel except for small temp sensor. I only make 1 or 2 cups at a time, so am glad this is only 1.5 liters and not the 1.65 liters that many other kettles are. If Zwilling updates the design, it would be even better if the lid would open all the way to 90 degrees without help (just by pushing the button). Highly recommended.

After ordering electric kettles from a few other companies and returning them, I found this kettle by Zwilling. The first order stated it was delivered but I did not get it. This company was wonderful to work with. It’s a Christmas gift for my daughter and it arrived today, the 21st!! It’s a great quality kettle and I’m so happy with it that I will order one for myself after the new year!! Thank you Zwilling.

Make sure to empty out after every use
Heats water fast. Only problem I had was the mold. At first I thought it was just discoloration but with time it just got worse. But than I read about not leaving water in the kettle when not in use. I read about how to clean it.Fill the kettle halfway with a mixture of water and vinegar (half vinegar, half water).Let it sit for an hour.Empty and rinse well.I only did 20 min and it cleaned up perfectly.

Love it BUT …. Let’s see how well the warranty covers replacement.
I have been using this kettle for 4 weeks. Love it! BUT tonight it stopped working. Light goes on, water does not heat. Pursuing a replacement tomorrow since it’s under warranty (sent purchase info to Zwillig right away after purchase and received confirmation) . UPDATE: Zwilling states that they only honor warranties from authorized sellers…. I have contacted the Amazon seller: Stark-Sales for a refund/replacement. Fingers Crossed. Update: Zwilling would not cover a replacement since this seller: Stark-Sales is third party. Only response to my request for replacement from this seller was a form email saying it is past the date for return. My request was made on the 30th day after received the item. Looking closer at my invoice, it says used/in good condition…. nowhere during my purchase was there any indication that this was a used appliance! In the end: I purchased directly from Zwilling- brand new, same price that I LOST on my first purchase from Stark-Sales. Beware of this seller.

Works so far
I used to have the water heater that kept the water warm all the time and pumps the water out with a touch of two buttons. We wanted to save some electricity and also not have the “special” inner lining of the water heater/pump, I think this one is all stainless steel. Water heats up quickly, the lid and thumb button seem pretty sturdy, its harder to push down with your thumb(maybe I’m weak) but it goes to show you how sturdy they made that button. Like the color we got the gold one.

Kinda miss my dispenser, but steel interior is worth it
Previously I had a nice hot water dispenser, and that was life-changingly convenient… But then the non-stick lining that literally every single one has started flaking off. So I finally decide I’d had enough, and went hunting.This thing is great. Trivial to clean and maintain (much much easier than the dispenser), plain steel interior, and it heats up quickly and insulates excellently for touch purposes. It’ll cool down a bit rapidly when not on keep-temp, but it heats to the target temperature much more quickly than the dispenser so I don’t really mind.Definitely happily recommending to anyone.

Best Electric Kettle Ever
Have owned this for a month boiling 4 to 5 times per day. Our version does not have the temperature control function, it just boils water. The design is brilliant from both the functional mechanical/electrical aspects to the appearance and function. There are no plastic components touching the water, the internal vessel is seamless, the stainless is of high quality (no discoloration), the mechanical design almost eleimates the possibility of water getting inside, the outside stays cool to the touch, it is quiet (relative to other products we’ve used), the overflow mechanism is well thought out, and the appearance is striking. Highly recommend.

Didn’t know how much I would love this
Writing my first-ever Amazon review because I talk almost daily about how much I appreciate this kettle! Initially got it as a gift for my husband so he could make pour-over coffee. It has a coffee setting and a separate boiling water setting for tea, plus other temperature-specific settings. It heats up SO QUICKLY we’ve ended up using it for many other things as well! Boiling water for oatmeal, warm water for our dog’s food, boiling water for sterilizing, it even has a baby bottle setting which we now use for formula for our infant.The matte black exterior is a bonus – stylish and always looks clean.

not exactly user friendly
LOL – I tried leaving a review on Zwilling’s website for this kettle but was emailed that my review didn’t meet website guidelines. Hmmmm..didn’t like my comments? here’s exactly what I wrote:Pros: no plastic parts touch water, easy to fill & clean, sleek designCons: learning curve to understanding buttons, e.g., they’re all lit but some are slightly brighter (kinda hard to tell) when water reaches that temp. Wish there wasn’t a baby bottle icon; no way to turn off beep, water boils for a long time before turning off; no water level indicator–Not sure what’s problematic with an honest review. I’m not 100% on this kettle after having used a kitchenaid one for a decade which is almost perfect IMO, only trying to switch because this one didn’t have any plastic in contact with the water.

Solid electric kettle
This is a very solid electric kettle. It feels and looks like it is made with quality materials. I have found it easy to set up and to use. The touch-sensitive buttons on the base plate are reactive to gentle touch so that you don’t have to mash down hard on the buttons to get the machine to operate. The pre-set temperatures are quite sufficient for my needs for teas, coffee, and oatmeal. The filter looks to be metal and the inner lid also looks and feels like it is metal. The opening lid is wide enough to clean the inside of the kettle by hand with a gentle washcloth or sponge, without special tools or brushes to reach inside of it. The “keep” feature seems to actively keep the water at the temperature I’ve selected for about 25-30 minutes.

After a few uses it’s easy to figure out
It’s a very attractive appliance. It really upscale’s any counter top. Mostly use the two highest settings. Works very fast. The wire mesh at the spout is a little flimsy so be mindful of that. The pour spout can come out in a big gush, but with some finesse it pours like a goose neck. Great for pour-over coffee. Have not used the baby bottle setting so can’t comment on that.

Is not made in German, it is made in China
I was searching for water kettle made in Germany with the intention to have water kettle that last longer. So I search for “electric water kettle made in Germany” and this zwilling kettle popped out and just trusting that this is a German brand. When I got it right away, the way the lid open it does not feel like it is made in Germany. The cover didn’t pop up easily and I have to manually open the lid instead of the button that should open it. Then I look at the box, sure enough, it says made in China. The price of this kettle is double then other kettles’ brand.

Heats up quickly
I love this pot because it heats up quickly and doesn’t have a lot of annoying beeps, just 3 soft beeps when it is finished. Demineralizing is easy using water and a little distilled vinegar. Mineral buildup is absolutely normal when using faucet or filtered water. Of course, if you use distilled water and you will not have that problem. I really like the fact that I can heat up a large amount of water at a time.

Simple and sturdy
I bought a less expensive model that blew out my fuse and then stopped working. This kettle is sleek and substantial. Worth the difference.

Handle seams allow water in, then drips for 12 hours
The media could not be loaded.
Before first use I filled with water in the sink, and let water run over the top, to clean off all factory sprays and chemicals….i thought that was ok since all seams should be water tight. but… Somehow water ran inside the handle, perhaps around the open lid button, because as soon as I dried the bottom and exterior and placed it onto the base, the handle started dripping water, steadily. after 15 mins of this, i left it overnight with a cap underneath it (dry at the start) and was surprised in morning that the cap was full of water. Whilst this may not lead to a long term problem, if I fill it precisely and do not allow overflow water onto the handle top, it seems like a defect to me, and a set up for a future problem, such as internal handle warping, or seams opening. So I’m returning it and getting the Fellow Corso. I don’t want a handle that is not water tight. video is after letting pitcher sit overnight- was dripping in morning. Advice: be careful when filling and wiping – to not let water around the handle button, lest it leak interior to handle.

Good kettle for most people.
This kettle worked really well, and we loved using it. Except it had one fatal flaw for us. We depend on the measurement markings inside. The one liter line was way off – very surprising for a German design. I was disappointed and gave it away. It will be a great kettle for someone who doesn’t care about accurate measurement. If I had been thinking clearly, I could have fixed the problem A carefully measured one liter of water and a quick line with a carbide scribe would have fixed it. If I had done that I would be leaving a 5-star rating. Oh well.

Rust on bottom plate after one week of light use, Zwilling website filters out negative reviews
This was a Xmas gift for my wife. She received it on 12/25 and by new year’s (less then one week of light use, 3-4 times) the bottom plate developed rust around the “screw” (as other reviewers have noted), as well as a 3/4 circle of what looks like corrosion (see photo).We liked the design and features, so we emailed Zwilling customer service asking whether this was normal and if we should submit a warranty claim – no response. So we proceeded to add a negative review on their website, which was “moderated” (filtered out) with this comment: “Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time!”.Clearly Zwilling filters out negative reviews from their website. So here you go, Zwilling, try to filter this one out now.BTW – the kettle did not seem to have an auto shut-off feature, which my wife disliked. But then again, we used it so little that maybe we didn’t see it. It’s now going back to Amazon, who has a great return policy for issues like these.

Cheap switch broke after a couple of months
Made in China. The design is not good, you can burn your hand if you hold the handle too high. The switch was temperamental from the start and finally gave out completely a couple months after I bought this kettle. Expensive piece of junk. Avoid OR keep all the packaging so you can return it, which I cannot be bothered to do. 🙁

Sleek design & good insulation
No temperature controls, but I am just using it to boil water for coffee / tea, so this wasn’t a drawback to me. It heats up a full pot rather quickly (~5 min) and the insulation keeps it hot well. It’s a little pricey compared to other brands, but the design looks great and we’ve used it multiple times each day for the last 3 months with no failure.

Very substantial, nice design, no rust
We tried 2 other electric kettles before finding this one. Have been using it for 5 months. Very satisfied, no complaints. We use only purified water (tap water here is full of minerals), and have had no rust yet. Very clean contemporary design and the kettle is well constructed. Not rickety like the others we tried and returned. It’s very simple and I expect it will last a long time. Highly recommend.

Simple is best.
We’ve had this electric kettle for 3 months and it has been perfect. The entire lid pops open easily for quick filling. The simple ‘on’ switch lights up and goes off with a loud click when the water reaches the boiling point. There are no temperature controls; for green or white teas I simply let it cool a few minutes with the lid open. Perfect.

Works great
I’ve been using the Zwilling Enfinigy Cool Touch Electric Kettle Pro daily for over 90 days. It works great for all teas, coffee, ramen, etc. After use, I am careful to dump out any excess water and leave the lid open so it air dries. There hasn’t been any rust issues.

Great kettle
Had some doubts reading the reviews but went ahead and got it since i recognized the brand and I like the way it looks.Would be nice to have complete custom temp controls but there are enough to get me by. It’s also easy to clean. Was worried about rust due to some other reviews but just keep the lid open and empty it when you are not using it. Easy.

Sleepy kettle
Looks nice and works mostly as intended.I didn’t like the fact that after being inactive for an hour or so it goes to sleep. After this you need to press a power button for two seconds for it to wake up. I boil tea many times per day so prefer to not have remember about an extra long press. Unfortunately, no way to disable this.Also filling the kettle is a bit less convenient since need to take off the lid manually.

Fabulous kettle with 1 exception
Had this electric kettle displayed temperatures in degrees Celsius as pictured in the listing, I would have rated TEMP CONTROL 5 stars.
