Amazon Basics Electric Glass Water Kettle

Important Note on Coffee & Hot Water Appliances

When I’m choosing hot water gear, I avoid nonstick coatings, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), aluminum in the water path, heavy metals like lead and cadmium, plastics in contact with hot liquid, and materials that rely on chemical finishes or nanoparticles. I prefer inert surfaces where my hot water and drinks only touch dependable, well-understood materials.

Product Description

This Amazon Basics electric kettle features a glass carafe and a base with automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection. The glass body is designed for boiling water for tea, coffee, and other hot beverages, with controls that make it simple to use and clean.

What I Like

I like that the interior water-contact surface is made of glass, which is inert and won’t leach chemicals into the water. The kettle has ample capacity for daily use and includes safety features such as auto-shutoff and boil-dry protection.

Things to Keep in Mind

This is a budget-friendly electric kettle with basic features — there’s no variable temperature control. Some exterior parts (such as the lid or handle assembly) may use plastic components (BPA-free), though there’s no clear indication that plastic contacts the water itself. Always hand-wash the glass and follow the manufacturer's care instructions to preserve longevity.
