The KitchenAid 5KEK1701 in a sophisticated black graphite matt finish is a variable temperature electric kettle designed to handle everything from delicate teas to quick boiling for coffee or cereals. With a powerful 2400W heating element, it quickly brings water to one of seven precise temperature settings, ranging from 50°C to 100°C. You can keep your water at the ideal heat using the temperature maintenance function, while the boil-dry protection ensures the device shuts off safely if there is no water inside. Built with a durable metal body and a stainless steel interior, the kettle has a 1.7L capacity that allows you to prepare multiple servings at once. Clear water level markings at 0.5L, 1.0L, 1.3L, and 1.7L help you pour exactly what you need. This black graphite matt version adds a modern and elegant touch to any kitchen style.
