After reading many warnings that hotel water kettles are rarely if ever cleaned and people have been known to try to clean their dirty underwear in them ????I decided to search for a safer hot water option. There have also been many very early flights for which I get to the airport and no stores are open yet for my essential coffee. Now enter this travel electric kettle! It is adorable - I really like the chic design with the rose gold stripe, and it’s small enough to fit easily in a backpack or carryon without taking more space than a shoe. The most important thing is that it works really well. The power at the airport is a little weak so it took a bit longer to get to the right hot temperature (there are multiple high temps you can choose from) but it was still only minutes. Then I used my Costa Rican pour over portable coffee maker to make a delicious cup of coffee at 4:50 am at my gate. I made the whole area smell amazing! :) yes I was sitting on the floor with a couple baggies of things like the tiny bags of coffee and disposable cups from previous hotel trips, but everyone was eventually jealous.
I didn’t realize you’re not supposed to drink from the kettle itself, so it’s NOT a hot water bottle or something you can use to make a cup of tea without having another cup to pour into (at least they don’t recommend using it for anything other than plain water). But it is fast, efficient, adorable, and just the right size for a very large cup of coffee or maybe two cups of tea. It cools down quickly too so you can touch it after waiting the recommended minute and not get scalded, yet the inside water is beautifully hot. Then you just detach the cute little cord, wrap it up and put it back in the little baggie or straight in the bag and you’re on your way.
The only thing I wasn’t thrilled about is the verbiage on the top of the lid - I thought it would be a sticker you can take off but the words of warning about “hot liquid and don’t touch yet, steam blah blah” are there forever, kind of taking away from the aesthetics. And I guess I was thinking I could put a tea bag in it once the water was hot, but you so kind of need another cup to make it work. Unless they just meant that you shouldn’t boil or use it to heat up any liquids other than water? I just don’t want to risk ruining it so for now I just use it as a kettle and pour out the water when done. Let me know if you figure out differently!
Overall highly recommend for frequent travelers or those with limited counter space.
