We have tested many kettles, but not every model deserves the first place above. Here are some other things that work well, but aren’t outstanding.

Art and Cook Electric Glass Kettle, $43: When I first unboxed the Art and Cook Glass Electric Kettle, there was one red flag: typos in both the box and the instruction manual. It made me a little hesitant, but my experience over the past six months has been quite good. There’s no LED light like on the Cosori to indicate when it’s boiling, but it holds a slightly larger volume of water (1.8L vs. 1.7L). It has an auto shut-off feature, but overall, I found it to be a little slower at boiling.

Bonavita Digital for $130: This kettle is similar to the Stagg EKG I tested but slightly less expensive. It has a gooseneck spout for precise pouring, a temperature dial, a display, and a 0.9L capacity. You’ll have the option to program up to five presets for your most commonly used temperatures.

Bistro Tile x Haden 1.7L Electric Kettle for $128: This kettle is gorgeous, with two tile exterior design options that make you feel like you’re in a Parisian café. There is a single power switch and a temperature gauge on the front to let you know how hot the water is. You can’t control it like other electric kettles, and it doesn’t retain heat as well as double-walled options, but it has a very advanced design. – Nina Farrell

Oxo Brew Tea Infuser Basket $15: This is our favorite accessory for brewing loose leaf tea. The stainless steel is durable and imparts no flavor to the brewing process, and the perforation pattern does a solid job of keeping most small particles out of the hot water. We especially like that the lid not only retains heat, but can also be used as a drip tray.

Kotobuki Matcha Tea Whisk $24: If you’re a matcha fan, this is a great whisk to have on hand. Equipped with 80 bamboo bristles, it will help create a gentle lather that brings out all the bright herbal notes of a delicious cup of matcha.

East Fork mug for $44: These mugs are expensive, but they are made consciously. WIRED Product References says Jayna Gray They “feel sturdy, with a gently angled grip that’s large enough for most hands and feels smooth and balanced when picked up.” They also come in a variety of fun colors (including seasonal options). You can buy one or more cups Four packs for $150.

The 32-ounce wide-mouth Hydro Flask is $50: WIRED Senior Editor Michael Calore uses this to keep fresh tea hot all afternoon. Even after four or five hours, the tea is still very hot. He considers it an essential item for those tea drinkers on the go. For more options, be sure to check out our guide to Best travel mugs.

Tea Spot Sipping Cup Tea Subscription for $20 (monthly): This is a great subscription for new tea drinkers. Each box contains whole tea leaves harvested from tea plantations around the world.
