Adagio Teas 010026001 utiliTEA Variable-Temperature Electric Kettle, 57 oz, stainless steel, black

Great product. This is my second tea pot from this company, same model. I love this teapot and highly recommend it

Different teas need different water temperatures in order to brew it for the optimal flavor. In particular green tea needs a lower water temperature, or the brew will come out too bitter. I have this electric tea kettle for loose leaf green, white, and black teas. There are different settings which correspond to the tea. Once the tea kettle has reached the desired temperature, it will beep. I pour out 8 oz into a measuring cup, and let it sit for a minute, then pour it into the tea. Perfect every time! After I am done, I pour out the water, then maybe 20 minutes later, I rinse it with cold water, and dry the inside.

Update 9/21/21: I had emailed the manufacturer Adagio Teas to let them know their product was terrible and had developed interior rust all along where the bottom meets the sidewalls. They had the audacity to argue with me and claim : "The discoloration you report on your kettle is not rust, as this item is made from stainless steel. The likely explanation for the unsightly buildup is scale." They then suggested an overnight soak with vinegar.I KNOW what mineral buildup looks like. This is not it. I dampened my finger and swiped it along the rust and guess what - it tasted like iron. It's not mineral build up. For test purposes, I did try the vinegar soak Adagio Teas suggested - spoiler alert - it didn't work because it's not mineral buildup! My review still stands this is a crummy product and the manufacturer just blows smoke up your skirt when you let them know.Original: I've had this kettle for less than two months. Tonight I was going to make a cup of tea and noticed that the water inside looked cloudy. I dumped the water out to take a closer look. Much to my aggravation and dismay, the bottle of the kettle has totally rusted out. Two months is nothing in terms of longevity. This product is garbage. Steer clear! Back to researching kettles....

This kettle is very loud while the water is boiling. It was fine for a while now it's rusting. Needs to be replaced. It's ok for the price.

We used the prior version of this electric kettle for years. It was an awesome workhorse. This one seems just as study but two things I prefer about the old one -- it was smaller (who needs water for 10 people??) and there was NO beeping. This thing beeps twice and then again once you press the button to start the heating. It's a bit much. Wish it had a "silence" mode. Or just beeped when it finished.

Bought this our previous kettle only had On/Off. Needed something that didn't burn the tea and make it bitter. Finally able to get better temperature for the different teas i had bought from Adagio .

It was great for a while. Boiled quickly. Shut off properly. But yesterday, after less than 6 months, it started shutting off after ~20 seconds. Then the LEDs would flash. No boiled water. I didn't drop it, boil anything other than water, under fill or over fill or do anything out of the ordinary. I boiled water for a mug of tea a few times a day. The kettle never left my counter tea prep area.I got the Asurion plan, but it's a pain since I bought it at Amazon. I should've found the manufacturer and ordered it from there. I tried the Amazon assistant and was surprised to find no option for "stopped working". All the selections were your fault... damaged item, bought wrong item, don't want it anymore. Who designs these things? Do they live in a world where nothing breaks?On the Asurion site it kept asking multiple choice questions with no appropriate answers. For Product Brand Adagio wasn't listed so they only choice they gave me was “I don’t know of can’t find it”. Then "What best describes your product?" - the only choice was "Other". I finally get to type in the actual product name and it tells me to contact the seller on Amazon "because you bought your product recently, it may be still covered by the seller's warranty period". Sorry, but Amazon says it isn't. Honestly, who gives you 6 month warranties? And in this day of crap dying after even a month, how is just under 6 months considered "recent"? I honestly have no idea if I filed an actual, actionable claim or not. And for what I paid for it, it's frustrating. I'm going to try to get an actual human being on the phone tomorrow.

I have owned one for years and bought my daughter one for Christmas. This is a great product.
