Electric Kettle - Travel Portable Heater for Coffee Tea Milk Soup - Stainless Steel Travel Water Boiler tea pot with Temperature Control - LED - Automatic Power Off - 450ml - Kitchen Appliance

I’m lazy. Other customers should know that I’m lazy.I have a custom oral appliance that I wear to sleep, and the instructions tell me to boil it nightly so it softens and fits correctly. The “problem” with that is that I’m lazy and don’t want to go to the kitchen to boil water every night in order to use it. I thought I’d look into getting some kind of kettle I could keep in the bathroom.I honestly didn’t expect to find something I like THIS much that works THIS well. I love the size and the color— I HATE countertop clutter, but this is inoffensive enough that it can live on the counter and I’m not bothered. Though, to be honest, I do turn it so I can’t see the product name at the bottom. I could do without that.I haven’t traveled with this yet, but my appliance compliance (ha!) is SO much better now that it’s worth it for that alone. That said, I’ve heard horror stories about the coffee pots in hotel rooms. I’m weirdly looking forward to the opportunity to travel with this and finally have the opportunity for that sweet, sweet caffeine boost in the morning without having to worry that some stranger has done something disgusting with the provided pot before me. This would work really well to make oatmeal, tea, or instant coffee on the go, so long as there’s an outlet available.The size is great for packing and travel. It’s a smidge bigger than the size of a standard reusable water bottle, so it’s definitely portable. It boils pretty quickly. I haven’t timed it, but I’d guess it’s about two to three minutes. There’s an adjustable temperature display, and only two buttons, so it’s easy to use, and you’re not committed to a full boil in order to have hot water.This product has a super specific purpose for me, personally, so it’s surprisingly versatile. I haven’t regretted this purchase for a single moment. It’s genuinely fantastic.

My friend recommended the Jettle for a better experience than hotel room coffee. This thing is amazing. Now I can make excellent coffee in my hotel room without relying on the hotel coffee maker and its questionable cleanliness. A must have if traveling to remote China where coffee and coffee shops just don’t exist. Now I bring my own.

Overall the Jettle is a solid small kettle in a convenient "thermos" form factor. The temperature accuracy is reasonable for the size and application. Here I have the set temperature and the measured temperature by an instant read thermometer:104 | 102140 | 132176 | 173194 | 193Note: I wasn't particularly scientific with this and this was just the temperature reading I got when it beeped it was at temperature on one attempt, and then I just went up to the next temperature. Admittedly a better test would have been heating from tap water temperature and measuring multiple times for each temperature setting but there was a limit to how much time I wanted to spend doing this.The UI leaves something to be desired. You hold the button for 3 seconds to select a temperature or turn on, and to cancel if it is on. It's not especially clear if the kettle is currently heating water and/or in keep warm beyond if you hear the heating element click on. I would like to see future iterations of the Jettle with some light to obviously indicate the kettle is trying to maintain the water temperature or just idle.The temperature selections are limited to 12 temperatures (104, 113, 122, 131, 140, 149 158, 167, 176, 185, 194, 212 ) and there is a distinct gap between the highest temperature and boiling. If that matters to you is up to your use case, but for tea Oolong does typically get made at 200 F.The steam vent feels over engineered and I don't know why. It has so many nooks and crannies it's hard to get fully dry after use, even a few days with the lid in the dish drain I can still flick it and get some water drops out. A few holes in the top would have the same functionality without being hard to clean. The steam vent limits the flow of water but doesn't make it leak proof if for some reason you wanted to travel with the thermos full. If you have water in the unit and invert it you get a decent amount of water out, so it's not reasonable to travel with it full if that was your plan. "Leak proof" on the product page feels wrong, at most I would say it's "leak resistant" and wouldn't want to rely on it too much.Despite the current product pictures being in Celsius the unit I received reports temperature in Fahrenheit. Not an issue for me, I prefer Fahrenheit for tea, cooking, etc. but the product pictures should be updated. Ideally there would just be a setting to switch temperature units depending on what you wanted.The displays shows you the current temperature of the water, even as it is heating. It's nice that you can monitor the temperature of the water in real time but it should have some indication of what you set as the target temperature. If you set the Jettle to 176 F, it kicks on, and you forget there is no way to verify what temperature it is heating to beyond waiting for it to beep coming to temperature and resetting the temperature setpoint. Due to the display placement and type you can't see the display from above. So if you have the Jettle on the counter you have to bend down to see the current temperature. Not a huge deal, and it does beep when it gets to your temperature setting, but could be improved.Some reviewers mentioned that it was hard to remove the power plug, I did not find this to be the case. It's a fairly standard 3 prong male plug to female connector. It takes a small amount of force to remove, but the Jettle itself is somewhat insulated so you can just hold it down and remove the plug without issue. For reference it does get hot on the outside if you set it to boiling so it's not as if it is a vacuum insulated thermos, but you can still reasonably pick it up without an oven mitt or something.All that being said I'm happy with my purchase, and I was waiting for something like this to come along for some time. I would like to see the improvements I mentioned in a future generation, but as it stands I would recommend it to people looking for a portable kettle in this form factor.I did have an issue where it would kick on/off in rapid succession when it got near its target temperature. It seemed like the temperature probe was reporting an incorrect value? But I haven't had it happen again, if it does will update this review with that and how the company was to deal with under warranty.

Great

Extremely fast boil. Stiff cord and no lip /pour spout means that pouring your boiling hot liquid has a high chance of splashing it on yourself. It gets the job done though...maybe I'm just clumsy.

Baby musthave for fast bottle making.I actually bought this togheter with the formula Containers for travel purposes for baby and us.Now i ended up using it at home every day all day. It heats the water to the perfect warm drinking Temperatur for baby. Its fast. Its faster then the phillips bottle warmer. It boils the water when needed so its definitely for travel too if you like to do soup or tea

I bought this about 6 months ago for travel. Specifically for work trips to Las Vegas, this hotels no longer have coffee makers, microwaves or guest refrigerators in the rooms. I have to say this is the best one I have ever used. I like the temperature settings, how it keeps the water warm, the cord easily stores inside and it fits well into my checked or carry on luggage. At $10 for a cup of coffee it doesn't take long to pay for itself. I've used it to make coffee (instant and pour over), tea, instant oatmeal, and instant soup. I would highly recommend.

Handy works well… just wish it works a little faster. But if it did it might trip the circuit breaker so maybe it’s a good thing, because I use it at work.
