It boils water. And it looks red. Yay
Update: the tea filter broke and thus the auto shutoff as well (fix this with a towel on the top of the kettle). There’s a fragile plastic rod that attaches to either a string or a spring that controls the tea filter’s mounting. It broke for me and just flopped downwards instead of shutting the kettle. Managed to get a replacement, but I wouldn’t get this exact model.
I love that mine has a grid of different temperatures that I can chose with a single button press. 70 for the kid’s cocoa, 80 for green tea, 95 for my French press and boiling for black tea.
