Cosori Electric Kettle. No Plastic Contact With Water. Wide Mouth For Easy Cleaning. Auto Shut Off. 1.7L Tea Kettle & Hot Water Boiler. Water Heater & Teapot. Borosilicate Glass. Black. 1500W

I am returning this kettle because there is a silicone ring (EPDM rubber) gasket where the heating element/metal and glass parts join inside the kettle (highlighted in red in the photo). This may be food-grade material, but being next to the heating element, it will degrade over time and into the boiling water. Any time we have plastic or rubber exposed to light or heat, bad things will happen in the long run, such as deterioration of the material. It is best to buy a kettle that is solid glass or stainless steel, anything without plastic or rubber inside.

This kettle looks beautiful and works perfectly. It heats water very fast, is quiet, and easy to use. I love that there is no plastic inside — the water tastes clean. The blue light looks great and makes it easy to see when the water is boiling. Very happy with this purchase.

Ordered this hot water kettle for our office. Hot chocolate has become a hit lately with the colder weather. Quiet, quick. Lights up nice touch. Easy switch on. Easy to clean and refill

-this can be turned on by voice command/timer using a smart plug. This is because it has a mechanical on off switch, the translucent plastic tab under the handle. See my video. I am using a Tapo matter-enabled plug here.

-runs just over 1500 W, as it should, per my power meter

-7:19 to heat water from 65 F to 212 F (18C to 100 C)

Very happy with this Electric Kettle. We used our last kettle daily, it still worked but my boyfriend had it 3 years prior to me and didn’t keep up on regular cleaning maintenance, there was residue on the bottom inside which floated that wouldn’t come off and the outside had a stickiness to it. Ick

I picked this one over others for the following reasons:
1) you don’t have to remove the lid to refill.
2) large capacity
3) auto shut off
4) great price
Bonus: Beautiful blue lights shine while heating.

I recently switched from making k cup coffee to French press before I leave for work in the early morning but I needed something that was quick. Was aiming for under ten minutes between boiling water and brewing and the cosori makes that happen. It’s quick and I like the no plastic involved with the boiling water. ( main reason I ditched k cups. ).

Wonderful product. Don’t know why I didn’t seek this out sooner.

I’ve had this kettle for about a year now and it is still going strong. I use it everyday and boils water quicker than any other kettles I’ve had in the past. This is my first glass style kettle and will never look back. I uploaded a standard mason jar next to it for size reference.

Nice kettle, works as described. However, in less than a week of use, I noticed a rust spot in bottom of the kettle (see photo attached). It bothers me every time I turn on the kettle. Cosori customer service was quite indifferent about my concern. He advised me to return it to Amazon for replacement or refund. It’s a pain in the neck to return a glass kettle when you have disposed the original packaging.

This is such a life saver. It’s the perfect size for our morning coffee or the start of boiling water for pasta! You can take it anywhere since it’s only two pieces, it’s perfectly portable. It’s temperature controlled and turns off automatically when the water is boiling. It doesn’t leak and I love that it’s glass so I can see if it needs to be cleaned.

Very excited with this buy! I got it the very next day, just in time for our camping trip. It works better than I expected. Very cute, affordable, light and easy to carry, cord long enough and good quality. Within the 1st minute you could see some warming bubbles, by minute 3 ir was clear the water was very hot, minute 4 was boiling and minute 5 it shut off. Perfect for tea and my teenagers love for instant noodles.

Omg i love this! So I listen to a podcast called toxin free-ish and it’s basically this industry expert who provides really helpful tips, facts, and information about products that have toxins and better safer alternatives that do not. THIS kettle IS toxin free! Omg! Like look it is a glass kettle, the lining doesn’t include any harsh chemicals, including the mesh straining part is toxin free which is literally one of the most important parts because that is what os touching the water you’re about to consume and the last thing you want is to dress it in chemicals. So yaaa toxin free product here. I did a lot of research myself before buying it, but also look at that price! You really can’t beat it. So people might go for perhaps an $18 plastic instant kettle but this is one an affordable, beautiful, reliable, and safe kettle. I’ve used the plastic ones (this new kettle is my upgrade when I learned about the toxins lol) I just love this. I bought it a few months ago and I’ve waited to write my review to include how it holds up and it is wonderful. It boils water pretty quickly, I like the blue color for more of an ambient soft mood in the home then like an intense screech. It’s lightweight, and I like because the glass is see through it’s so much nicer to clean, my old kettle was black and I felt frustrated that I just couldn’t see the inside. I also think the clear class looks pretty chic. 10/10 recommend!

I wanted to new electric kettle since my old one finally died on me. I had a good experience with a Cosori dehydrator so figured I would give their kettle a try. I'm not a big fan of high temperatures and plastic so this fit the bill with the glass pot and interior stainless lid liner.

First things first is the boil time. I filled up to the maximum line (the 1.8 Qt / 1.7 Liters) with some tap water and fired it up with a stopwatch timer set on my phone. At maximum fill, it only took 7:45 to reach a full rolling boil and the heating element to turn off. In all honesty it was boiling but not quite as "hard" at just under 7 minutes and I could have used it then. I tried again half full this time and it took just over 3 minutes.

The only "complaint" I have is with the base. It took some fiddling around with the cord to get it set in such a way so that the base would sit flat on its own. The base is just the electrical connection so it doesn't have much weight. Not a big deal and not enough to remove a star though I do wish they had embedded a piece of steel or something in it to hold it down and in place on the counter better.

Been over 3 years since I've owned it, works perfect no issues. I've had others where the lids fail, or the switch stopped working. This is the workhorse for our family. I use reverse osmosis water to avoid any white mineral buildup at the bottom. Once every few months I'll use a damp cloth to wipe the bottom. I've gone thru many in last ten years and this is the only one that hasn't gone bad. It was so good, I bought one for my mother to replace her broken one that had the lid fail and boil over.

I love that this is all stainless steel and glass on the inside. I wish the sieve were removable without leaving plastic in contact with my steaming water.

The biggest problem with this is that it has an unstable base. It wobbles left to right when water is boiling, which to me is very unsafe. The bottom of the base that touches your countertop is a tripod. 3 little 1/2” circular feet extend just past the black plastic base. Why?? The black plastic base would be much more stable.

The cord is also extremely short. I have it plugged in under an island counter and the cord just reaches the top of the counter, making it more unsafe.

I wouldn’t buy this again.

Works great! Makes your water HOT! Bigger than expected which is good, holds a lot of water. No smell, easy to pour, water tastes good (we use filtered water).

My girlfriend has Crohn's disease & this has been used daily to fill her water bottles as tub water isn't enough while the stove takes too long.
It takes 3 minutes to boil, 4 max. It looks nice. I was supposed to get a clear one, but I received a black one instead. I'm not upset over the mistake in this case, but it did come off poorly as I got it on sale only for the next day everything but the one I chose was on sale (& that's what they gave me). IDK if that was intentionally a bait & switch or if it was an honest mistake. I'd adjust this review if I knew. It said 25 when it was originally 55, & I have no clue if they sent me the worse one or did me a favor by giving me plastic instead of the clear glass option I had chosen.
No complaints of leakage yet. No use for the mesh tea attachment as loose leaf tea is meh.
Boil speed | Water temperature | style

Seems very nice very well designed and attractive looking. Holds about a liter and 3/4 whatever that might be, I actually got it for use in my camper so I'm not using my propane to boil water for coffee.

I’ve only ever had one other electric kettle, but this one seems to be better in a couple ways. First, it takes three minutes from room temperature to boil. Very fast. Second, the water stays hot inside the kettle for a long time. Third, there are no plastic bits that the water ever comes in contact with. I like this brand a lot!

The kettle works really well and is easy to use. It also keeps the water warm after boiling. Water boils pretty fast and the color looks neat. The kettle is glass, so still be careful with handling, but it looks good and less bulky because of the material. Looks, feels, and works as expected

Great quality and fast boiling!
I love this kettle — it heats water super quickly and looks beautiful on my counter. The glass design makes it easy to see the water level, and I really appreciate that it’s plastic-free inside. Easy to clean and automatically shuts off for safety. Totally worth it!

Only had this for a short time but so far this kettle works fine and I like that the inner top is MOSTLY stainless. It's got some plastic that holds the strainer, so the boiling water still passes over some plastic but not nearly as much as other kettles. Heats water well and turns off no problem. My only real complaint is that it's very wobbly on the base. The base doesn't wobble, it's the kettle. The part where it connects to the base doesn't seem to fit very well, too much play. But I've decided to keep it anyway based on the stainless inner lid, wide top that makes it easy to pour water in and also access the inside for cleaning, good operation and ease of use. A friend has a Hamilton Beach of similar design and it doesn't wobble a bit on the base, but the whole inner top it plastic.

We bought this kettle on sale for $21. It’s worth every penny. For years I used my old electric kettle that was all plastic. Now I know better and this is definitely the way to go - there is NO plastic heating up. It’s so fast, a great size, love the lights. High quality.

I am writing this review after using the product for almost one year and I can definitely say that it’s really good. The boiling speed is fantastic. Lid opening works perfectly. it’s super fast and I have not seen any issues with water leaking. The blue light is nice and add to the aesthetics. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have been using this kettle for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. The design is clean and elegant, and it looks perfect in my white kitchen. I really appreciate that the water never touches plastic, even the spout – everything that comes in contact with water is glass or stainless steel.

It heats water very quickly and has a pleasant blue light that makes it easy to see when it’s working. The wide opening makes it easy to clean, and so far I have had no issues with staining or residue.

Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. If you’re looking for a simple, well-made, and safe glass kettle, I highly recommend this one.

I have had this kettle for approximately six months. The water once it reaches the boiling point is now starting to smell like burnt plastic. Our instant coffee smells like burnt plastic why?? we thought the carafe was plastic, but after reading that it is made of glass, we are a bit confused as to why it smells

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my fiancé Dec 22’. We are just now noticing signs of it starting to break down (not shutting off even though it is boiling) in Sept 25’. It has been a great purchase to use daily for a French press. Highly recommend!

I paid a slightly higher price for this compared to other hot water kettles, specifically because they touted “no plastic” in their title and images. Personally I don’t think they should focus on this so much in their listing. I don’t mind if there’s plastic on the very top where not boiled water is not touching, but hot water definitely touches plastic with this product. You would have to keep the lid open while pouring if you don’t want the hot water touching the plastic part. I’ve had a bad experience with plastic melting in a hot water kettle in the past, so I really don’t want plastic in my kettle, especially where the water is going to touch. I’m returning this.

Other than this, it seems like it works totally fine. I tried it a couple times before I realized there was plastic (they suggested an initial boil before drinking the water so I didn’t think about it the first time).

The kettle works great for a few months, but if you forget to bend the metal filter when closing it and slam it too hard, eventually, the whole thing will shatter. I am currently on my third kettle, other than that it's great.

Looks great! I love that it’s glass and the boiling water doesn’t come in contact with any plastic. Heats the water quickly, we use it many times a day for several months now and haven’t had any issues! It lights up blue when heating, and takes less than 2 minutes to get a rolling boil. It will automatically turn off so you don’t have to worry about it getting left on.

Este hervidor COSORI realmente me sorprendió por su calidad y acabado sólido. Tiene buena capacidad, calienta el agua muy rápido y el material se siente resistente y duradero.

El diseño es moderno y elegante, y la luz azul al encenderlo no solo es linda, sino también práctica porque indica claramente que está en uso.

Sin duda es un producto de alta calidad, funcional y confiable. ¡Muy recomendable!

This thing has no plastic parts coming in touch with the water. That is what I was looking for, and after checking something like 100 electric kettle listings after my old kettle died, this one was it.

But it is ugly. Unless you're into the cool sci-fi blue glow effect, it probably won't match anything else in your kitchen.

It's also large -- the max water level is only about half-way up! But I can kind of see why when you see it boil. The bubbles reach almost all the way up. Since the top is just a metal filter over glass, there's no rubber or plastic gasket to keep it water-tight when the lid is down. If this thing was smaller or you filled it all the way to the top, the boiling water would probably spill over. So, given the design... I guess the size is okay. (My old kettle could be filled almost to the top and did not spill over, but it had very different design style, with a small, tight-fitting metal-on-metal lid and a very long spout, so maybe that is why.)

It works perfectlly. It's just big an ugly.

If you're a manufacturer reading this -- I personally would be willing to pay twice as much, or three times as much, for a kettle that matches my kitchen. Something solid black metal, or even black and white, or something home-y and country-y. White or black with a wooden base or handle. Or maybe something antique-looking, with a flower pattern on it. You know, cute. I can't describe it because I'm not a product designer, but I'll know it when I see it!

I'm attaching some photos so you can see why it just doesn't fit! I can see this kettle in a modern office, or in a man cave or a video game room, but not in a normal house kitchen.

I had to buy (urgently) replacement for my electric kettle that just quit working. I checked reviews and purchased Cosori electric kettle 1.7L.
I appreciate how fast it was delivered and so far kettle as described working great. Found out that my son owns same brand/kind kettle for about one year now and had zero problems with it as well, which is very promising.

I love this kettle ! It works amazingly and it heats up the water very quickly and it is worth every penny do to it being affordable! , I used to have a plastic one and I switched to this one and I am very pleased, I highly recommend it !

We bought this electric kettle a couple months ago and are very pleased with its performance. I chose it both for its large capacity and for the fact that no plastic parts come in contact with the water. It heats water very quickly and is an attractive addition to our countertop. Plus, Cosori offers really impressive customer service. I had a question about the kettle and contacted them via their website on a Sunday night; they got back to me on Monday morning with the information that I needed. Highly recommended!

I bought this because my last kettle died.  What drew me to this product was the fact it had no plastic touching the water while it was heating and also it said it took two minutes to boil. The light feature is an added bonus. And I like being able to watch my water heat up. Overall, it was a good purchase for the price.

This is my 2nd kettle of this brand and it is absolutely my favorite! My daughter bought me this kettle about 4 years ago and I use it daily for my morning cup of tea. I also use it for cup noodles at night too. It works very well and has never once had an issue in 4 years - definitely reliable, sturdy and safe. There is no temperature control but this unit shuts off automatically after coming to a boil. If the lid is up it will continue to boil. It holds at least 4 large cups of water and doesn't give off a smell at all. The base fits seamlessly and the unit is easy to wash and clean.

The problem we've had with electric kettles is that they don't last.
This is a very nice kettle so far. It's easy to take it on and off the power base, very little plastic exposure to the water and the blue LEDs make it very obvious when its still on and hasn't come to a boil yet. The lid seemed a little finicky at first because the stainless screen retracts back when you open it, and goes back in place when you close it. It smoothed out after a few cycles but I the moving parts in the lid seem like a potential breaking point (hopefully not).
A great kettle so far, I hope it lasts.

I really like this electric kettle, it heats the water up very fast, like most of them do. The problem I had with the other ones that I have had is all of the plastic around the lid on the inside. I was looking for one that was plastic free, I thought I found it in this one. Some of the reviews said that the water in this one doesn’t touch any plastic, however I found that to not be exactly true. There is a chunk of plastic up at the top underneath the stainless steel flap. So to avoid my hot water touching plastic, I simply lift the lid up before pouring the water. other than that there is no other plastic to worry about. My main concern is hot water touching plastic and leaching into our foods and drinks.
This electric kettle has auto shut off, which you can see in my video! The other thing that I appreciate about it is it has both liters and cups for measurements on it. Some of the other ones only have liters.

A convenient way to boil water, much quicker than the stove top. I can have up to 7 cups of water to make tea or coffee in about 2 minutes. I like that it is constructed such that the water doesn’t come in contact with any aluminum or plastic. Honestly I didn’t really compare it to others, I just chose it because it was commonly purchased with the pour over coffee maker that I bought to replace the automatic drip machine that wore out after 3 or 4 years of use. It has a water capacity that matches the coffee maker perfectly. I also like the aesthetic of the clear glass and silvery stainless steel. It’s base lights up blue while operating, which makes no real difference to me but I figured I’d say that since the review ideas function is asking about color.

I love the kettle, have had it since February and use it everyday. But I'm noticing some spots on the bottom, under the glass, that look like mold/tarnishing. I don't see it getting inside the water I'm using but it's not as pretty to look at anymore 😞 It does boil fast, and a sturdy piece. Myself and my kids love the beautiful blue light it shines while boiling, that's definitely the cherry on top.

After lots of Googling, cross-referencing different recommendations (and even getting some help from AI), we narrowed it down to two solid kettle options.

I compared price (not too cheap, but also not over $100), features, heating time, brand reputation, materials (I was only considering glass or stainless steel), and estimated lifespan.

We already own a Cosori air fryer - and aside from an annoyingly loud beep (which I muffled), it’s been a dependable workhorse for over 4 years. So I decided to stick with the same brand for the kettle.

This one has a cool blue LED ring around the base that lights up when it’s on - kind of like a blue gas flame. It’s a subtle but very nice touch!

Functionally, it’s almost there: sleek design, no distracting blinking lights, heats water quickly, and looks great on the counter. But there are a couple of design flaws that hold it back.

First, I really wish the glass container were double-walled — it gets very hot to the touch, which can be risky, and it doesn’t retain heat as well as it could.

Second, the lid has a built-in sifter contraption with moving parts that seems like it’s meant to filter or direct the pour. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually work — it doesn’t seal the spout, and there are big gaps on either side (check the attached photos). So any filtering effect is purely cosmetic.

Those two downsides keep it from getting 5 stars from me. I mean, no need for sifter or moving mechanism - at all.

Yes, it makes some noise while heating - but honestly, that’s just part of the deal with kettles, electric or stovetop.

Boils water admirably, but doesn't shut off when water reaches a rolling boil. I let it go quite a long time, just to see, but no luck. Whether it shuts off when completely dry I can't say. Looking at the advertising copy above I see that they promise "Automatic shout-off", not "shut-off" so maybe I'll try hollering at it. Despite this I'll keep the kettle and not rely on its (faulty) safety features, since it looks nice, seems to work otherwise, and is easy to clean. Too bad about the non-working safety features though.

Is there possible lead exposure?

At the time of this review, the picture from the product box has a warning about possible lead exposure that I couldn’t find in the Amazon listing. It would be great if they specified if this was solely in the cord or if this is also on other parts of the kettle (ie in the glass or in the markings on the glass). Other similar products have notes online about the specific components, yet this product (and the website) only has this general warning that is the minimum legal requirement.

You’ll have to decide for yourself if this risk is worth it for a quick and simple boil time!

I had a slightly older Cosori model for 4-5 years before it stopped working, and got this one to replace it. I was surprised to find the cord no longer reaches the outlet from the kettle's usual location. They definitely cut corners and cheapened its product.
After the first use (following the water test in the instructions), the water tasted plasticky. Then I noticed the new model also has a bigger area of exposed plastic under the lid. See photos.
Way to cheat your customers, Cosori.

Pros:
- 6 Temperature Settings
- Big Open Lid (Easy to Fill)
- Practical and Easy to Use

Cons:
- None Identified So far

As a tea lover, a electric kettle with multiple temperature settings is a must as there is a specific temperature that is desirable for Green Tea (which I love). To ensure I make the perfect brew, a multi-temperature controlled kettle is a must! I love the clear glass view as it is so satisfying watching the water boil.

This is my second kettle after accidentally breaking the first one. My second kettle has died an unexpected death after 3 months. I know I drink a lot of tea but I would expect such an item to last much longer. The issue was that it suddenly wouldn't “connect” or stay on. After unplugging and reconnecting as well as ensuring all was clean, it did turn on and work but something didn’t sound right and so I am once again replacing. The main features that I love about this item are:
• temperature selection
• auto shut off
• price
• size

Photos are the bottom of the kettle, both interior and exterior as well as the base.

I waited for quite some time to buy this product but I was so happy when I did! I use this pot several times a day and it's a game changer. I don't think I would ever go back to using a stove top unless I absolutely had to. A full pot is boiled in 7 minutes but only 2 to 3 minutes if it's just for maybe a couple Cups of Tea. Plus the automatic shut off is wonderful. The only thing that I slightly miss is the whistle from the tea kettle.

The handle of my wife's stovetop teakettle actually burned up yesterday from the gas flame and I suggested we try an electric kettle like those we've used in Europe. Those are, of course, 240 volts and bring water to a boil in a hurry.

So I found this one on Amazon with stellar reviews at a very reasonable price and pulled the trigger. It showed up on our porch overnight. I filled it with 1.25 liters of tap water, set it on the base and watched it come to a roiling boil at sea level in under three minutes and then shut itself off! It's a solid, elegant appliance and it will live on our countertop from now on.

I use this every day for tea, have had no issues. Works great

Simple with no temp controls, just boils and turns off automatically. Which is want I want.

It's a big kettle, so there is a lot of open top space and I find condensation builds up there, which I haven't really encountered on other kettles I have owned.

Either way, works like how I want it for a simple kettle.

Not sure about this product just yet. Boiled max amount of water as stated to do.
But noticed a burn or rust spot already developing on plate under glass.
Contacted support and we'll see how that goes.

Update customer service send me a replacement which after a few days does not show signs of burning on the base.
Adding a star for now and will continue to monitor.

I got my product and have been using it for my coffee in the morning and tea at night. It has been doing great up until this morning 11/13/24 I went to use it and I heard a pop, didn't know where it came from until I walked back over to see why the kettle was still boiling. It has never boiled that long, it usually shut off after a while but this time I had to shut it off., and this red piece was floating in the water. It was a piece of the kettle (look on the lid). I am so disappointed because I really loved that fact that it would shut off automatically, now I have to shu5 it off manually or the thing will just keep on boiling.
Have anyone else had this problem?

It stains inside on the bottom after you use it, you’re not supposed to use any kind of cleaning solution or cleaning soap to clean it. All they said to do was use water. There is a measuring line on this measuring cup. Make sure you don’t go over it. This teapot takes too long to boil water. You would do better trying to boil water over the stove. You have to let the teapot cool all the way down the cold before you reuse it. After using the kettle, you must drive out immediately

We've only had it a couple months so I can't speak to longevity. Its 7 c. max fill line is about 1/2 way- but you can see in my photo, boiling water doesn't bubble much over that at all. So why the extra glass? Just extra weight. It's ok using to lift it empty, but it's pretty heavy after adding only 4 c water, so I need to use both hands. To fill our 43 oz coffee press (shown on the left) doesn't it filled above 4-c on the Cosori. (and it is pretty heavy to me only filled that high) Unusable height above the fill line makes kettle too high to slip under an 8" water spigot like ours, (shown on the right). I do like that the strainer is built on the lid- it's out of the way when the lid opens with a button on the top of the handle. The Cosori replaced a stainless steel Hamilton Beach kettle we'd used for 15 years (shown far-R). The H.B. contact finally became intermittent, but it never rusted (new models seem to rust or corrode). I read reviews on so many competing kettles- it seems HB isn't making them like they used to. I decided on the Cosori even with a few complaints about water spots on the bottom heating plate- yes ours shows them already, but that doesn't matter to me. My complaint is weight/height. You'll probably need to use both hands to lift or position under a faucet. We have a dedicated water spigot at the sink for filtered water- very handy and the old kettle could slide under it without having to hold in a tilted position, or even lift, just slide over. I miss that.

Love that this have metal top (underneath the lid) and also metal filter. My previous one (different brand) the whole lid was plastic including the filter part. Hopefully with this metal one, there wouldn't be any plastic smell. The glass is made of Borosilicate glass which is suppose to be strong and better. The power button is on the bottom of the handle which I like since it prevents accidentally pressing when holding the boiler by its handle. When turned on, there is a blue light on the bottom. The only negative I give to this is the plug is only two prong. Its nothing major, but I rather have a three prone for the extra ground. Feels if it was three prong, it be safer. Overall happy with this purchase

I love the blue light that turns on when the water is heating up. And it does a great job of heating the water in a timely manner. The only thing I don't love is cord easily slips out of its slot as I scoot the kettle on the counter (I push it back when I'm not using it), which makes the base uneven.

Quick boil about 4 mins for full boil. auto shut off. On the larger side. Nice appearance with the blue light. The lid only opens 3/4 of the way when pushed manually have to open the rest. Metal strainer attached. The cord wraps around the bottom of the tray.

Purchased 2/13/24, Review 4/18/24

If you're looking for an electric kettle that has minimal plastic in contact with water, glass/Metal build, good boil time, automatic shutoff, and a capacity of 7 cups, this is the one.

Our old electric kettle went out on us. The previous one lasted over 5 years, but there were a few things we didn't like about the old one such as all the components with hard plastic touching the hot boiling water.

This on the other hand is made up of mainly glass and metal when it comes in contact with the water, with the exception of the plastic/rubber like o ring around the inner seal of the lid when closed.

Overall it takes about 6-8 minutes to boil 7 cups of cold tap water and we've been using it for the past 2 months with ease. Automatic shut off is nice and just overall such a convenience.

Will update again if anything changes.

Good kettle. I’d rate it a solid 4 out of 5. Reliable, stylish, comfortable and 1,7 liter capacity which means you can easily brew multiple cups of tea/coffee.

UPDATE: The lid DOES in fact OPEN ALL THE WAY. So, the lid is no longer a "complaint".
I've come to realize that I prefer simple products. My bestie had a big electric kettle with a bunch of options, but I never used them. I've talked to others who said they never use all the fancy features on things, either. THAT'S WHY I WANTED THIS ELECTRIC RAPID BOIL KETTLE; because 1) I could see the water boiling. 2)The blue light is helpful to an easily distracted/forgetful housewife-mom. When the light goes off, it's fully boiled. 3) It's not fussy. You don't have to set it on the stand a certain way. Any way works. You don't have to make a bunch of decisions because there aren't any options. You just push down on the tiny, plastic tab/pedal/lever at the bottom of the handle. If you need to "abort mission" just pop it back up. 4) It has a dry boil safety.
If I had to come up with something I didn't like about it, the lid doesn't seem to open very widely, so cleaning it if you have hard water may be tricky if the lid doesn't come all of the way off. I keep forgetting to play with it a little and see if the lid is fully removeable. I also don't quite understand why its so tall when the max fill line is about half way down. Maybe leaving room for boiling, I don't know. But, neither of things are actually complaints. I use it several times a day for tea or hot chocolate, but, I also have realized how convenient it is for mixing with my "Better Than Bouillon". If it stops working and ends up pissing me off, I'll update and let you know, but, for now, it's great!

I filled it up to the minimum line & the water starts to bubble at 2 min, but will be more aggressively bubbling at 2.5 min as seen in the video (I dont know if it takes longer to boil the more Full the pitcher is). The top is wide enough to easily stick your hand in to wash, as seen in photo. Love the auto shut off feature, and that the blue light also turns off- so you can see that it is off from across the room. Cord is super long to reach the wall, but wraps neatly under the pitcher if you don't want it showing.

Update: using it for 1 week, i had to take away 1 Star, as i have to “de-scale” the pitcher of water after Every Use, which is kind of annoying. I don’t know if that is the Water here in the US or the pitcher.

It’s a good buy. The inner of the lid and filter are of stainless steel. Just be mindful about the filter when cleaning, that thing is as sharp as a knife.

Overall I like the kettle. It works as described. I would have rated it a five, except for the issue I have with the lid. I wish it were completely removable to make it easier to clean. Those of us with medium to large hands have difficulty cleaning the bottom of the kettle.

Works great! Heats cold fridge water in 3-7 minutes depending min/max fill. Auto-shutoff is good. No beep that it is done, just the blue light off, but you really shouldn't be walking away.

Glass housing with stainless filter. Plastic on the housing, obviously, but no hot water pouring over plastic if that is something you are concerned about.

My only complaint is the lid doesn't open far enough and/or the metal filter doesn't fold away. Hard to get filled from the fridge door. I'm afraid I'm going to slice my control panel one day.

I decided to stop microwaving my cup for tea in the am and get a water kettle. When I searched I was surprised to see these glass kettles, expected the old metal ones from my youth. I bought it and it never arrived, it was probably stolen..tracking said it was in CA, then no updates for 2 weeks. Got a replacement order and when i got it, it was in the original box, so someone else wanted it too. LOL

I made sure it worked, and now I love it! But be careful when you wash the carafe, I cut my hand washing it the first time...the metal spout closer is sharp. Other than that, it really boils water fast! The first time, I watched it and almost started freaking out when I saw roaring bubbles and not shutting off yet. Then it snapped off. Whew.

Very hot water for my tea...be careful sipping. So now I flip the switch off before it comes to a roaring boil and it is perfect. I really love it, since I don't have to boil the water on the stove or watch it. Plus boiling water is better than using the microwave to heat water (radiation? & potential exploding scalding water if heated too much).

Read other reviews and now just to see how long it lasts and see if I have the problems with the rust on heating elements others mention.

I got this Cosori water kettle over a year ago (~13months). My friend just got an Ambiano from Aldi so we decided to test them against one another by boiling 1.5L of water. They look like they're improperly filled in the video but I got down to counter height and made sure they were both right to the 1.5L lines.

Cosori:
Boils 7:12
Clicks off 7:43

Ambiano:
Boils 7:27
Clicks off 7:58

So the year old Cosori won! Not by any significant amount, but it did. In the end the kettle works fine. It's inexpensive and for that you get no temperature control or other settings. Just on or off. I wish the lid opened back further sometimes but it's workable and the Ambiano has the same problem; both lids only open to like 70 degrees when I want it to go 90+.

But regardless, would recommend. It's held up fine. It's inexpensive. It works.

This review now includes two Cosori products: 1) COSORI 1.7L Electric Kettle with Upgraded 100% Stainless Steel Filter,Inner Lid & Bottom,Glass Water Boiler & Tea Heater with LED Indicator, Auto Shut-Off&Boil-Dry Protection, BPA Free, White, bought 2/2021, and 2) COSORI Electric Kettle Temperature Control with 6 Presets, 60min Keep Warm 1.7L Electric Tea Kettle & Hot Water Boiler, bought 12/2023.

Like other reviews the kettles are in general easy to use and easy to clean until they stopped working. In our case, the first kettle lasted 22 months. I didn't expect it to last as long as my previous one, 10 years, but broken in less than two years is disappointing. Then in June we found out that the screws placed inside the top cover were rusted (see picture). This time, the product lasted only a little over 18 months!

Amazon's web design does not allow me to review the second kettle separately, which is very misleading for customers. Cosori at the moment does not take phon calls, and I have submitted an email concern.

The @Amazon reviews should include a durability or reliability category.

Love this kettle it's simple and does its job well - boils the water and is presentable on the counter.
I was disappointed to notice today that its glass spout chipped off a piece. Not sure how this could have happened when we pour there is space left above the cup and don't recall anything bumping into the spout.
After having a look the glass is very thin around this area and could be prone to cracking so could be a design flaw. In any case it's disappointing that the kettle needs to be replaced just a year later. Yes it's still functional with the chipped spout but its a sharp hazard so we can't leave it that way and it can't be repaired or replaced since its one whole glass component.

**update**
Contacted customer service who sent a new kettle - great, thanks!

The quality and sturdiness of the kettle was great. My wife and I enjoy drinking tea. We lived in England for a bit and got accustomed to the convince of a kettle when visiting friends and wanted to purchase one. The water gets hot fast and being able to see it through the clear glass is great. We have used it for a bit and it seems to be developing scales or something on the bottom of kettle. I have not been able to figure out how to clean it. Overall rating, happy but..

could be the water type in los angeles with heavy heavy calcium build up. but these white spots have begun to form and I assumed it would be easy to clean through hot water but it's not.

Though where the water bubbles boil from are these spots, so it may be micro-holes that come through the metal and the calcium is stuck in between. Have tried cleaning it off to no avail. Not sure if this is a hazard or not. Water temps boils just fine.

Something to note that people don't realize is that you have to turn off the kettle once done boiling. Other boilers we used will automatically turn off once done. The boiler will continue to reboil if left on when temp drops, so if you pour out your water and it's still ON, you may ruin the boiler.

The START, or ON button is under the bottom of the handle. Add the desired amount of water and place on the base and press the start button.
I especially like that the unit shuts off automatically after it reaches a full boil. That is a good safety feature; if someone were to heat water on a stove, got distracted and walked away, then forgot about it, the water in the pan could boil dry. (That actually happened to my mother, once. Not good.) With this water heating pot, it will shut off automatically.
The time it takes room temperature water to boil is approximately 7 minutes. Naturally, there are variables such as how cold or warm the water is. A blue light comes on when the power is turned on.
While the pot is heating, and it is hot enough for what you need, and you don’t need it to boil, or, if you need to leave and don’t want to wait for it to boil, just pick up the pot from the heating base and it will shut off. And if you want to restart it, place the pot back on the heating base and push the on button, again.
I had wondered why there was so much space above the MAX line. When I saw the water at full boil, then I knew. It is a safety feature to prevent a spillover.
I have only used this for heating water only, so I don’t know if anything else can be heated. There is what looks like a strainer attached to the lid which fits in front of the pour spout; possibly for teabags or loose leaf teas, or possibly to help prevent boiling water to splash out.
To clean, use a soft cloth when cool. Do Not Submerge in water. Always be careful with glass.

Well we timed it and it was just over 8 minutes at first boil of 7 cups of Ice Cold water. But it seems to be getting a little quicker. If you use hot tap water it is much faster I have large hands so getting inside the pot to clean it is a little difficult for me. and why did they not make it a full 8 cups is beyond me. It does come in handy, and is great as a Tea Kettle. But Again Why Not 8 Cups? This Watch Pot Does Boil.............. In About 8 Minutes.

October 30, 2023 update: As mentioned in previous update, I used my older boiler for the toilet. Do NOT put boiling water in your toilet. HOT water is good, but not boiling water. It was raining in my basement, and I had to replace the wax ring in my commode. The boiling water melted my wax ring. This is not a review, but I had to warn others that it is NOT a good idea to pour boiling water in your pipes, after writing my previous update. Also, if you have a clog and that boiling water sits in one spot, it can mess up your plumbing. If you have a clog, use Dawn and WARM water. AND Do NOT use a kitchen boiler to pour water in your toilet; bacteria will splash up into the pot and can infect your family. Buy a separate pot to use for household purposes only, Now I can sleep at night.

October 16, 2023 Update: My water boiler is still running strong. Unfortunately, my toilet isn’t. I found out that an hour of Dawn in the commode followed by a bunch of boiling water is the best way to remove a clog (you’re welcomed). So, like most oldsters who have had a strong and loyal career, it was demoted as toilet boiler, while the more youthful water boiler takes the coveted place on the kitchen counter…looking cocky and proud. I felt it had to be done this way, because I also have a microscope and have proven to myself that a heavy dumping of boiling water into the commode can and will result in backsplash landing on and inside the water boiler. Yes, the commode water is probably clean…especially after dumping a small bottle of dawn in the toilet water, but this is one time I don’t want to take any chances. So until it takes it’s last current of electricity, this big guy will be the household toilet boiler. The button is still a bit difficult to push, but it still works. Thank you, water boiler, for taking one for the team and being a sport about it!

May 2, 2023 Update: My pot stopped working again. When this happens, I try to push down the button, but the button flips back up again. But this time, I was able to turn it on, but it turned off before the water reached boiling.

I figured this behavior meant the pot had finally reached retirement age. So I decided to open the other pot (same model, not been used). I reached over to unplug the cord, and the plug and about 2-3 inches of the cord was very very hot. So I unplugged the cord, and waited until the cord cooled.

In the meantime, I discovered that I had my instant pot sitting on the cord, by accident. I’m not sure if this was why my cord turned hot (I’m not an electrician), but I freed the cord from the ruthless instant pot (sometimes appliances don’t get along in my kitchen).

When the cord was finally cool, I plugged it back in and it worked like a charm!

Now, I’m not sure if an overheated plug was why my pot had stopped working in the past (I mentioned this behavior further down, and blamed it on a wet or overheated plate), but now I’m wondering if the cause of the pot going on a workpot’s strike, was because the cord was too hot. Either way, if it stops working, feel the plug. If it feels warm or hot to the touch, simply unplug it and wait until the cord cools.

Thank you, Water Heater People, for saving me from burning down my own kitchen. ❤️

February 4, 2023 Update:
I made the mistake of leaving my water pot’s lid open when I turned it on. I got distracted and it boiled dry. Apparently the automatic shut-off mechanism is in the lid. When the lid is opened, the pot will not shut off automatically. So, I went out to pour my water and there wasn’t any.

However, the good news is my house is still standing and this pot STILL WORKS! I assume the pot clicked off while water was still in the pot, and then, the rest evaporated. If it had boiled completely dry, the elements would’ve burned out, I’m sure. The second pot I purchased is still in its box waiting to be used.

As for this original pot, I now make sure to tap on the lit before turning it on, just to make sure the lid is closed. It’s become a ritual. 🙂

November 2022 Update:
I still haven’t used my second pot, yet. The first pot is still going strong. Occasionally, the lid gets sticky, and is difficult to open, but it’s an occasional issue. My water heater blew a few days before Thanksgiving, and this little fella picked up the slack! It heated water for dishes, and made Thanksgiving bearable.

April 2022 Update:
After almost a year of using the pot, it became difficult to switch on. I immediately bought a duplicate; because, dang it! I love this pot! After I put in the order, I was demonstrating to my husband how it doesn’t turn on, and it turned on! My only explanation of what was happening was that something got wet and it hadn’t dried out yet. I do tend to shoot the water from the tap across the counter into the pot...just to make housework more fun. Maybe I should stop doing that, because water can get into the handle.

If your pot suddenly stops working, my suggestion is to unplug it and briefly take a blow dryer to the electric base and the pot’s base. If you have time, forget the blow dryer, and just set it aside to dry naturally.

Many of my appliances, when over heated or wet, will cut off and become unusable until it cools or dries out.

At least I have another pot. If this gets wet again, I can replace it with the new pot until this one dries out. I’m thinking of buying another pot just for the purpose of boiling eggs. That way, I won’t have to worry about bacteria getting in the coffee.

July 2021 update...so, yes, just like others have reported, about a month or so after using it, it suddenly wouldn't turn on. No light, no heat. But I'm not one to sit idly by, and accept a setback as my new reality. No, Sirree! If I'm going to throw something out, I'm going to figure out the cause of the setback so I can repair it. In this case, the first ring around the protruding pin at the center of the bottom of the carafe became rusted. The rust blocks a current between the base and the carafe, preventing the unit from working effectively. If you place the pot at a different angle (place the pot with your alternate hand, for instance), it may work. At any rate, I simply used a fine-grade sand sponge and sanded off the rust. Steel wool may work, also; but it is a very precise and microscopic job, either way. After I sanded off the rust, I blew off the rust residue and added a thin coat of coconut oil to prevent further rusting. So far, so good. I added pictures to point out the rust. As for the white spots inside the pot, that's going to happen if you have hard water. Hey, you didn't hear about people in the 16th century complaining about spots in their water boiler, did you? Of course not! Those lucky people didn't have to deal with water spots, because they carried their water in from the creek and poured it in an iron kettle. I'm sure you can find an iron kettle on Amazon. I'm not sure where your closest creek is. Maybe Google Maps can show you...OR...you can buy white vinegar or just pretend the spots aren't there.

Mild update: Since I'm correcting typos that I failed to catch earlier, I will say as of today, June 14, 2021 the coconut oil appears to be holding its own. I added a wee bit more, but the kettle hasn't stopped or failed to start since I applied the first thin coat. 🙂

Older review: I love it! My last water boiler almost caught my house on fire, leaked and the water sloshed out of the spout. This water boiler pours very smoothly and boils 1 liter of COLD water in four minutes. I haven't timed warm water, but I will confirm it's going to be less than four minutes.
The blue light is ok; not as spectacular as I thought it would be. But I didn't buy this for entertainment.
The spout strainer pulls forward, covering the spout when you close the lid. When you open the lid, it has a spring that allows the strainer to be moved down for filling water. It doesn't stay down, but it won't snap off when you're trying to fill the carafe, which was its intended purpose, I believe. It IS made of metal, so you don't have to worry about poisoning your family with seeping plastic chemicals. In fact, nothing on or in this pot that comes in contact with liquid is made of plastic. The handle and outside of the lid are plastic for the purpose of insulating you from burns. I have on occasion been forced to use a silicone potholder to support the base while pouring, but I wouldn't remove points for that.
It does NOT have a temp control...but you CAN watch it boil and could probably judge from the water's action and reaction when it's the temperature for you. Over time, you be a pro and figuring the proper tea temp.
I really do like this pot, and would recommend it for my own grandmother, if she was alive to use it.
The price is good for the product. I'd buy it if I were you. You don't know when the price will rise.
I have a heat streak. So if something does go wrong with the pot after posting this review, I will be sure to return to post the issues. For now, it's working great!

July 2023 update - It is hotter than a blackstone griddle outside, but we are still brewing sweet tea down here in the south. This water-boiling machine gets called into duty as much as it ever has, even when it is scorching hot outside. The kettle still looks exactly like it does in my pictures. It hasn't rusted, scaled up, or changed how fast it heats up the water. I'd buy it again, and after having it for this long without any issues, I will strongly recommend this. I believe this is used at least twice - five times a day here in our house.

November 2021 update - Still using it a ton and still enjoying it. Still looks good. No reason to replace and this is one of the very few items my wife allows on the counter all the time.

July 2021 update - Added pictures of the condition. I’m pretty happy with this still. No decrease in use.

May 2021 update - No discernible change in performance, no rust or issues. It has been performing it’s only job 4 times a day, every day of the week with very few days off. It would be nice if there were a temperature setting, however it hasn’t been a big enough deal for me to look for another kettle. Something that I took for granted, we make sweet tea in batches. When we get it hot and dump, then refill with colder tap water to start again; I had not thought how good this glass is! That’s a substantial temperature shock, so this glass has to be borosilicate just as advertised. Anyhow - still good here.

December 2020 update - working great. Has boiled water four times this morning. Still looks great and no complaints.

August 2020 update - still in use. My kids have discovered that during lockdown their favorite snack is Raman noodles. They are boiling water for Raman up to four times a day. This is on top of tea and coffee use. Yes, I know Raman is high in sodium. This kettle is still doing everything I expect, almost one year later.

January 2020 update - I am still using this electric kettle. It is still boiling water just as good as the first day I plugged it in. Also - this has become the only one that I recommend to my friends if they need one.

There is a silicone ring at the bottom that seals between the glass and the metal hot plate. That cannot be changed in their design if they have glass top to bottom. The expansion of steel versus the expansion of glass while heating would cause the glass to shatter since they expand at different rates.

People have been cooking with silicon for a long time and it is “safe” enough. I would bet a lot of food and beverages you can buy sealed came in contact with food grade silicone at some point in their journey.

There is no flavor or taste detected in this vessel when pouring water for tea. It seems to do the boiling faster than the unit this replaced.

All steel rusts if you give it a chance, all stainless will stain but maybe not rust. Just realize that heat causes tempering in steel and the tempering will show as shades of purples, blues and tans on the steel itself. So it may not be rust but exposure to heat that makes the bottom become less shiny. Additionally, be sure to dump out any unused hot water and leave the lid open immediately after use to dry out the insides. The residual heat will evaporate all the remaining moisture out. That will help reduce rust risks.

The cord on this unit is a nice upgrade from the last pot we had. This is a grounded plug whose cord can be wrapped under the base for appearances. It is heavier gauge and likely to lift the base when the pot isn’t on it.

The upgraded version with the stainless steel lime filter is pretty good looking. We like it. The white color is very sharp looking.

I've seen others say this in their reviews - I bought this after doing a lot of my own research and I am sharing my own experience with a product I spent my own money to buy. This is the kettle that I make tea for my family with every single day. It is used twice to four times a day.

My capresso electric kettle finally bit the dust when the lid came apart into several pieces that I couldn’t quite get back together. This Cosori (?) kettle was Amazon’s Choice and fit all of my criteria for a kettle upgrade:
1) large enough to fill my airpot without refilling. We make coffee by Melita filter drip system
2) a simple spout and lid that are easy to fill from my sub zero interior filtered water filler.
3) wide mouth for ease of cleaning.
4) simple contemporary styling.
5) ease of operation - minimum moving parts to come apart.
6) Fast boiling.
7) black and stainless materials
8) stable unobtrusive base
9) simple switch
10) BONUS! Blue led lighting that matches my Macintosh audio equipment!

When my new Cosori pot arrived ... sadly on a several day delayed delivery, not on my usual PRIME 2-day delivery ... it met my every hope and expectation. The styling, fit and finish (with one exception discussed below) are top quality. The base is stable, lays flat without any cord interference. The base has ‘grippy’ rubber feet and it stays put. I was worried about the (all stainless steel) spout strainer and lid operation, but was pleased that the strainer is rigidly fixed to the lid and does not ‘get in the way’. Lid operation is from a simple thumb button that opens the top, and the lid seals tightly with a gentle push. The on-off paddle switch is simple to use and is easy to operate. The pot glows blue when on, and has an auto shut off. You can SEE when it’s on, and don’t have to worry about forgetting the kettle overheating. I didn’t time-it, but the kettle boiled 1.7 L of water in just a few minutes - comparable to my old Capresso.

I like objects that I use every single day, to be top quality and easy to use. This kettle exceeds my expectations. Time will if it holds up, but the fit, finish, and function suggest this will be a member of the family for a long time. My ONLY complaint is about the ‘look’ of where the handle glued to the glass pot. See photo 5. When initially cleaning the pot, I saw something that looked like mold on the interior of the pot ... but it just turned out to be a somewhat sloppy glue job between the handle and glass. Not a highly visible feature, but looks odd inside the pot.

So far, I am thrilled with this purchase. Thrilled with everything about its appearance and operation. A very nicely designed and fabricated kettle.
