that "ring" in the bottom of the pot is Calcium build-up and really easy to remove, just add 1 cup of vinegar, 4 cups of water, boil, empty, clean with fresh water.
One cup of vinegar and one cup of water or 3 cups of vinegar and 3 cups of water. Then hit it to 100% boil. Then let it sit for 30 minutes. Then rinse it out.
If there's a stainless steel sticking out of the bottom of the glass to make contact with the water to boil it, then the glass has a hole at the bottom and will have some sort of sealant so it won't leak out and damage its electronics. That sealant will probably contain some contaminants, and at some point wear out, and the worst part is how you're going to clean that tight space between the glass and the heating element at the bottom. I would've bought this if that stainless steel at the bottom is removable and being heated through electromagnetic induction; glass without a hole and just a stainless steel being heated wirelessly. Easy to clean, and much more faster heating. This could've been perfect. Thank you for the review, very helpful.
I thought about this too. There are so many toxin pitfalls with these electric kettles. Plastic parts, sealants, and unknown quality of the metals all in contact with your drinking water with potential to leach. I'm struggling to find the benefit of risking all these toxins to heat water maybe a 1-2 minutes faster than a kettle on the stove.
Thanks for the video! Been considering getting this one, think I will now. The lack of plastic under water and the huge lid is a big plus for me. So many have such a tiny opening that can make cleaning an issue.
Nice. I have the glass one. I generally use my water within a minute of boiling/heating etc, so heat retention isn't a big deal. Still, I'd be curious to see what times are like with a stainless kettle vs glass. Someone should really do that comparison :) Great video.
Amazing video, I won a gift from my apartments and chose this, great video explaining each aspect of this kettle! Being 21 I never imagined myself drinking tea (normally hot coco or coffee) but using the kettle is fantastic so I force myself haha
Haha, that's funny. Most things ppl buy usually get used very little, but like you, I use this a lot. I even use it to speed up making pasta because my electric stove heats up water too slowly. It probably saves me $ on electricity bills too.
The new model now has the spout filter completely in metal, no plastic touching the water at all. They've also upgraded it to a 3000w power so it's much faster than this model
That's a great update, thanks! I keep asking myself why they decided on that bit of plastic on the spout - after all the good they did with the other parts. :)
You must live outside of the US, because here, in America, it would take special wiring to get up to 3000w. The highest watts I've seen in these electric kettles is 1800w and that's high. Typically, 1500w is the norm for these appliances. If you do have a 3000w where you live, the benefit is you'll heat up your water much faster, so I'm envious. In the United States, 3000w would throw the circuit breaker pretty fast if the wiring is done according to most building codes.
You have several choices in temp using their labeled push buttons on the handle. The highest setting is boiling at 212F. New models continue to heat the water for another 30 minutes after it comes to a boil. In other words, it also acts like a warmer after it comes to a boil in case you want a second cup a few minutes later. Then, the appliance automatically shuts off for safety.
I use the highest setting which makes the water boil at 212F and if you touch the glass, you'll quit that pretty quick as the glass gets nearly as hot as the water. The borosilica glass makes it less vulnerable to quick temperature changes. For instance, if you heat up the kettle, and then go put tap water in the glass while it's hot, it will likely stand the fast change in temperatures without breaking. Some borosilica glass can tolerate touching different surfaces with up to a difference of up to 300 degrees plus. It is still breakable if you bang it around. An alternative glass would be tempered glass which can tolerate about a 100 degree F difference. Tempered glass usually breaks into a bunch of tiny cubes and have more rounded edges for safety. Think safety glass like a car windshield. I prefer their choice of borosilica because who wants to be refilling the pot with room temp tap water and have it shatter.
I just bought one in 2023 and the lid's hinges and hydrolic like action which slows the open and close function are hidden inside the top of the plastic handle. It works pretty well. I love the super wide mouth at the top for cleaning. Most have a much smaller diameter.
You might burn the milk and smoke up your home. It also might be really hard to clean off the residue. I suggest a google search on "heating milk in a water kettle" to find better advice than I can give.
I know what you mean. I fear dropping it - I really don't want shattered pieces of glass all over the floor. Hasn't happened, but the thought mulls around in the back of my mind.
It's real glass, but in the manufacturing process, they add a boron oxide to make it more tolerant of temp differences when you take the hot kettle and add fresh cold tap water without it shattering. Do a search for borosilicate glass. It's interesting.
For how long? In my location in NY, it might be about 10 seconds to half a minute maybe. There's a spring that automatically flips the switch off when the water starts to steam (boil) and reach a certain temperature.
FirstL00k Wow! You guys do EVERYTHING fast in New York! 1 litre cold water begins its first tiny bubbles in 15 seconds. Water simmers around 2 minutes. Water begins to quiet around 3 minutes. Water deafens around 4 minutes. Comes to a rolling boil 4 minutes 10 seconds. Shuts off 4 minutes 34 seconds. That's in Virginia, though.
FirstL00k Just cold tap...or maybe it’s the pot. We Virginians haven’t caught up to the hustle and bustle of New Yorkers. 😁 So maybe they sent me a slow pot. 🙂
@@stevethea5250 I've seen that too - looks the same, different brand. Probably used the same chinese factory designs or something. But let's hope your version also has the metal lid. The water doesn't actually touch that part when it boils, so I'm thinking it does minimal harm.
I just bought one on Amazon in early 2023 and the filtering screen at the pour spout in now 100% stainless steel with no plastic. The one I got doesn't use the plastic paddle for on and off, so the operation is even more automated to simplify it's operation.
I wondered about that too. I think it limits the amount of steam coming out so you don't accidentally get burned. It also prevents most dust and other particles from falling in, which isn't as important but nice that it does.
I think they mean the cord goes to the base, it isn't attached to the kettle itself. You can lift the kettle off the base and take it somewhere else. Some kettles have a cord that connects directly to the kettle.
It's actually called all 3 interchangeably and translates differently from different languages. You'll hear anyone who works in IT or electrical engineering calling it a cable in particular. You should get out more.

I agree, it looks like mineral buildup from naturally occurring minerals in suspension in typical water from a well or even city water.
Only put distilled water in it. No more deposits.
@@Adeline9418 lol, ok, oh wait, sorry, my house does have Distilled Water on tap

Do you know of one that is fully glass and doesn't have a hole and no heavy metal or other contamination?

You're welcome! And yes, the lid is a nice big size for easy cleaning.
Great presentation, thank you 👍I am going to buy one now, and after 1.5 years, a clear winner. Regards =)
You're welcome! It's been more than 2 years now and I still use it everyday! :)
Thanks, FirstL00k, you've helped me to make a decision.
Glad to help, I hope it gives you many years of service!
Great review, very helpful. I have their convection toaster oven and it's my all time favorite appliance. Looks like this kettle is top notch too.
Thanks! They make good stuff, I'm still using this water kettle everyday and they haven't disappeared as a company, which is a great sign.

There’s no way you can get 3000 W in the US!!

Glass is an insulator and metal is a conductor ....so glass will retain heat in the water longer
Excellent video!
Thanks a lot!
I’m wondering what is the water temperature?
You have several choices in temp using their labeled push buttons on the handle. The highest setting is boiling at 212F. New models continue to heat the water for another 30 minutes after it comes to a boil. In other words, it also acts like a warmer after it comes to a boil in case you want a second cup a few minutes later. Then, the appliance automatically shuts off for safety.
hey how do fix the kettle lid, mine wouldnt close shut
how is the outer glass body temperature when the water is fully boiled??
I use the highest setting which makes the water boil at 212F and if you touch the glass, you'll quit that pretty quick as the glass gets nearly as hot as the water. The borosilica glass makes it less vulnerable to quick temperature changes.

ours stopped working just outside of warranty
Canni boil a tea inside?
Looks like the lid hinges are plastic inside the glass body ?
yup. Handle, hinge area, around the lip - they're plastic. They don't touch the main body of water, but plastic, yes.
I just bought one in 2023 and the lid's hinges and hydrolic like action which slows the open and close function are hidden inside the top of the plastic handle. It works pretty well. I love the super wide mouth at the top for cleaning. Most have a much smaller diameter.
Were I can buy it
On Amazon or you can check cosori.com - probably cheaper on Amazon.
Can u use it to heat some milk? Thanx!
You might burn the milk and smoke up your home. It also might be really hard to clean off the residue. I suggest a google search on "heating milk in a water kettle" to find better advice than I can give.
I have a stainless steel electric kettle. I'm not good around glass.
I know what you mean. I fear dropping it - I really don't want shattered pieces of glass all over the floor. Hasn't happened, but the thought mulls around in the back of my mind.
It's plastic, there are bubbles near the bottom. If they want to call it glass, they meant fiber glass..
It's real glass, but in the manufacturing process, they add a boron oxide to make it more tolerant of temp differences when you take the hot kettle and add fresh cold tap water without it shattering. Do a search for borosilicate glass. It's interesting.
Hi, For how long it should boil water?

is the inside top lid food-grade plastic tho?
The inside top lid appears to be metal.
@@FirstL00k we have a similar one here down under which looks based on that Cosori,
It's called Pursonic brand I'm hoping it's metal inner lid too

@@FirstL00k steam may also be a heat factor
i don’t understand the point of the filter when you pour
I wondered about that too. I think it limits the amount of steam coming out so you don't accidentally get burned.
It also prevents most dust and other particles from falling in, which isn't as important but nice that it does.
It's in case you have rocks and bugs in your water.
I think it also prevents any hot water from escaping as it starts to boil.
Good point! I just bought one in 2023 and the filter screen is now 100% stainless steel with no plastic touching the water as it's pouring.
mine broke after 3 months of use. piece of garbage
1200 watts very inefficient electrical
Why does it say cord less electric but has a cord
I think they mean the cord goes to the base, it isn't attached to the kettle itself. You can lift the kettle off the base and take it somewhere else. Some kettles have a cord that connects directly to the kettle.
They are referring to the actual kettle when you lift it up and carry it around to pour your beverages, cordfree. The base is wired.
It’s called a cord. Not wire or cable.
It's actually called all 3 interchangeably and translates differently from different languages. You'll hear anyone who works in IT or electrical engineering calling it a cable in particular. You should get out more.
