Elite Gourmet Electric Kettle EKT3001 review

A liter in under six minutes at 1,200 watts, with thirteen preset temperatures, three custom settings and two hours of keep-warm.

Where we land on it Sixteen temperature settings with three of them named by the drink, 1,200 watts, a liter in under six minutes and two hours of keep-warm. On published figures it beats everything above it on this shelf.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Capacity: 1 L · Power: 1,200 W
  • Boils 1 liter in under 6 minutes
  • 13 preset temperatures plus 3 custom: 195 °F, 200 °F, 205 °F
  • LED shows selected and real-time temperature
  • Keep warm: up to 2 hours · 360° swivel base

The most complete listing on the shelf

Six published figures, against two or three from most of this rack and none at all from the two stovetop kettles beyond their capacity.

It is also the only kettle here that tells you what temperature to use: oolong at 195, coffee at 200, black tea at 205. Every other listing hands you a number and leaves the rest to you.

Two hours, which runs against the price order

The most expensive kettle on this shelf holds for thirty minutes. The second most expensive holds for one hour. This one holds for two, and costs less than either.

There is no stated reason for the difference, and there is no accuracy figure here to weigh against the Cosori’s five degrees — but on the published numbers, this is the kettle that keeps water hot longest.

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

  • Sixteen temperature settings, the most on this shelf, with three named by the drink they are for
  • The only kettle here that displays the real-time temperature alongside the one you set
  • Publishes a wattage and a boil time together — 1,200 W, a liter in under six minutes — which only one other kettle on this shelf does

Compromises

  • Publishes a settings count but no accuracy figure; one kettle on this shelf states within 5 °F
  • Under six minutes for a liter is slower per liter than the 1,000-watt kettle here claims for 0.8 liters
  • A 90° spout rather than the longer curve of the dearer kettles, which the listing does not discuss

Where this one stands among its neighbors

At $50, it is the 6 cheapest of the 7 models in this category published here.

What people want to know

What are the three custom settings?

195 °F for oolong, 200 °F for coffee and 205 °F for black tea, named in the listing. That is the only place on this shelf where a temperature is tied to a drink, and it saves looking up what to set.

Is a real-time readout useful?

It tells you where the water is now, not only where it is going. No other kettle on this shelf publishes one. It is also the only display here that would let you notice the keep-warm drifting during a two-hour hold.

How does it compare with the OXO above it?

This one publishes a capacity, a wattage, a boil time, sixteen settings and two hours of hold. The OXO publishes a one-degree increment, a 104-to-212 °F range and a brew timer, and no capacity at all. More figures here; finer control there.
