Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m very happy with this Breville kettle. It feels solid and well-made, heats water quickly, and the controls are straightforward. The different temperature settings are especially useful for preparing tea and French press coffee without overheating the water. I also appreciate the large capacity and the keep-warm feature, which saves me from having to reheat the water when I want another cup. The stainless-steel design looks sleek on the countertop, and the soft-opening lid and comfortable handle make it easy to use and pour. It is more expensive than a basic kettle, but the quality, convenience, and performance make it worth the investment. I would definitely recommend it.

Clean lines, easy operation, lime doesn't accumulate, nice stainless steel-design, little plastic. We use multiple times daily and are very happy with the purchase (also own a few other small Breville appliances (microwave, pizza oven). The cord can be hidden/shortened with the under base hideaway as shown in images that I've attached.

This item was expensive and it does its job very well on a daily basis. But what I noticed is there’s never chalk or calcium on the bottom. We always use filtered water and we always had chalk every several weeks. It was super hard to get rid of it. On this machine, there’s nothing. Looks absolutely like day one.Just look at the picture. I never used descale or vinegar.

Excellent addition to my breville collection. Making tea is fast and fantastic.. Great decision on this purchase.

I love that this sleek designed stainless kettle has options for temperature depending on your choice of tea. It holds more water than my previous Breville and has a "warm" option so you can enjoy a 2nd cup of tea without the wait. Automatic shut-off is a nice feature to eliminate the worry of "did I turn the kettle off before I left?" I am generally happy with all my Breville purchases but this kettle has me smitten. Highly recommend.

The Breville electric kettle is easy to use, durable and has all the settings you'll need to get your temperature just right. Although I mostly use the regular setting there are times when my green tea needs to be a little cooler than the full boil on the regular setting. It heats up fast, keeps the temperature steady so I don't have to pour my tea right after the water boils, and automatically shuts off. I like it a lot!

Fantastic! Temped every setting with a thermometer and it's spot on, within +/- 2 degrees. Also, solid and esthetic construction.

Heats water quickly. Lid opens leisurely and very smoothly when you hit the button on the handle. Auto shut-off working well. One quiet beep when you hit buttons on the base, and 3 quiet beeps when the desired temperature is reached. Also beeps once quietly when you take the kettle off the base or replace it on the base. The LED backlit buttons on the base look cool. Water level on the kettle is not backlit but is easy to read. Top of kettle has a clear lid made of plastic, which looks cool. Water heated in the kettle tastes normal (no metal or plastic taste).

Having previously purchased the same kettle many years ago. It finally gave out after 5 years! Purchased a different kind and absolutely hated it. Returned to this one and I will never buy a different one! Water is ready very quick! Different temperature settings are great for different kinds of tea! I used the previous one multiple times a day every single day and only after 5 years the lid stopped closing every time. I tried to fix it and broke it off. Otherwise it still boiled water! If you are looking for a great kettle this one is it!

We are extremely happy with the Breville BKE820XL electric kettle. It heats water incredibly fast, which is a huge time-saver, especially when we’re in a rush. The different temperature settings are a fantastic feature, allowing us to heat water to the perfect temperature for everything from tea to coffee to hot chocolate. The temperature control is precise and easy to use, which is a nice touch. The kettle itself is well-constructed and feels very durable, which is something we’ve come to expect from Breville products. We actually own several Breville appliances, and we’ve been consistently impressed with the quality and performance of each one. The only downside, as with many Breville products, is that they can be on the pricier side. However, for the quality and features, it’s worth the investment.

Easy to fill, boils water fairly quickly (no more or less than our old kettle on the stove) & looks great - it matches the other Breville products on our counter.

extremely well made tea kettle, quiet and fast,, does not produce a lot of steam while heating water, blends well with stainless steel appliances.

I used this kettle for about a month, and I love it. The best features are 1) you can pre-set several temperature levels, from "green tea" to "boil"; 2) It beeps discretely when done, and also continues to hold the temperature level for up to 20 min if you want, and 3) nice design. It looks great, and is comfortable to use.

So far, I'm very happy with the kettle. It looks great, too. Others have mentioned the frequent beeps but the sound is not intrusive or annoying. Love being able to choose a temp setting for the different kinds of tea. I drink mostly green tea and the temp is perfect, low enough to keep the tender leaves from burning and hot enough for comfortable drinking.

I had some good kettles in the past but this one so far has to be the best. It’s quick at boiling water and the function buttons on the base have made this kettle top of my list. You can select the different temperatures depending on the tea which is very nice. Built with quality and price isn’t too bad either. Excellent kettle, well worth the money.

Easy to use multiple temperature settings. quick, quiet and comfortable to pour.

This is our favorite kitchen appliances. Heats water very fast , love it. This is my second one, the first one I had used more than 7 years, and still worked nicely, but it is time to have a new one.

I think Breville is one of the best brands and I have most of their products. Recently I bought this kettle because I can select different temperature for different tea and coffee

I purchased this tea kettle to replace the one used in our very large office. After doing quite a bit of research, we opted for this model because it had the ability to heat water for various types of tea and coffee. It gets refilled/reheated multiple times each day and so far it has held up quite well. I am considering getting one to use at home.

These kettles are the best. The only reason I am buying a new one is because my mother stole my first one that I have had for 4 years! That one is still going strong, and i expect it to for years to come. Excellent products, I start every morning with this kettle for my french press coffee or tea, and it makes my oatmeal without the need for a microwave!
