We Tested 4 Glass Electric Kettles. Here’s the One We Loved Most

We Tested 4 Glass Electric Kettles — Here’s the One We Loved Most

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I’m picky about two things: what touches our food and what sits on our countertop. I want function, I want durability, I want non-toxic, and I want it to actually make life easier.

So today, I tested four of the most popular all-glass electric kettles—no plastic inside, easy to clean, and safe for daily use. A few even come with tea-steeping attachments.

Here’s what we found.

1. Breville IQ Kettle — Our Longtime Favorite (5 Years and Still the Best)

If you want something that will last, this is the one.

Emily has had the Breville for five years, and it’s still going strong. It heats quickly, it’s incredibly reliable, and it has temperature presets for every type of tea or coffee.

Pros:

• Most durable of all four

• Fastest to heat

• Multiple temperature settings

• Sleek, easy to clean, very consistent

Cons:

• Pricey

• no tea-steeping attachment

If you want something long-lasting and don’t need a built-in tea steeper, this is the winner.

2. Gourmia Glass Kettle — Best “Keep Warm” Feature

This one surprised me.

The Gourmia kettle stays warm longer than any other kettle we tested — noticeably longer. If you’re someone who makes tea and then forgets about it (hi, adhd moms), this is a lifesaver.

It also comes with a removable tea-steeping basket, so you can make loose-leaf tea directly in the kettle.

Pros:

• Best “keep warm” function

• Has a tea-steeping attachment

• Heats fast

• Budget-friendly

Cons:

• Not fully stainless inside

3. Vianté Glass Kettle — Best All-Stainless Interior

The Vianté kettle has something rare:

➡️ Every part that touches the water is stainless steel.

For anyone prioritizing a more non-toxic kitchen, this is a huge plus.

It also has a tea-steeping basket, heats quickly, and looks really clean and modern on the counter.

Pros:

• Fully stainless interior

• Tea-steeping attachment

• Simple, intuitive controls

• Great mid-range price

Cons:

• Keep-warm function isn’t as long as Gourmia’s

4. ASCOT Electric Glass Kettle — The Aesthetic Pick

This is the prettiest kettle by far.

It’s simple, minimal, and looks beautiful on the counter. But it’s also the most basic of the four—no temperature settings, no tea basket, no keep-warm function.

Pros:

• Beautiful, classic design

• Simple one-button operation

Cons:

• No temperature control

• No tea attachment

• Least features overall

Great for minimalists, less great if you’re a heavy tea drinker.

Final Verdict

If you want the best overall, the Breville still wins. Nothing beats its durability and performance.

If you want the best value with a tea steeper, go Gourmia.

If you want full stainless, choose Vianté.

If you want something simple and pretty, the ASCOT is lovely.

All four take up about the same amount of space so this comes down to features, safety preferences, and how you use your kettle.
