Best Electric Kettles for Tea

Wize Buying Guide for Tea  
Boiling water on the stove seems to take forever, and it's never quite hot enough from the microwave. Any tea lover will tell you that an electric kettle is required equipment. An electric kettle is convenient and easy to use and tends to heat the water much more rapidly.

If you drink a lot of tea, you'll want a kettle with a large capacity. Most units range from 4 cups to about 8 cups. Depending on how many people you'll be serving or your own preferences, you may not need the largest model on the market. Look for an electric kettle that best fits your lifestyle.

The best electric kettles are designed with automatic shut-off, which allows you to boil water while concentrating on something else. A kettle equipped with the automatic shut-off feature will shut off on its own once the water is boiled. This way, if you're distracted and forget about it, the water won't boil to evaporation and possibly damage the unit or become a fire hazard.
