Smeg KLF04 Kettle Review
Smeg KLF04 Electric Kettle with Temperature
This classic kettle from Smeg has all the normal things you would expect from a Smeg, as well as some helpful extras that you wouldn’t necessarily find with other kettles.
The KLF04 with retro design adds a pop of colour, plus a premium enamelled finish.
The handy variable temperature feature allows you to choose from 7 set temperatures ranging from 50°C to 100°C, giving you more flexibility in how hot you would like your water.
A good sized capacity of up to 7 cups is ideal for large families or groups. Whilst the amazing keep warm button ensures the perfect beverage is always to hand, keeping the water at your selected temperature for up to 20 minutes.
The water temperature control is brilliant for when you’re making a range of different drinks. Hot drinks should be paired with water at the right temperature depending on what they are. For example green and white teas are best made with water at about 70°C-80°C, while coffee should be between 91°C and 96°C.
The classic Italian design has a stainless steel body with a smooth finish and chrome detailing.
It also includes a few other great features which include a soft-opening lid, 360-degree swivel base and removable filter.
You can’t go too far wrong when choosing a Smeg kettle, albeit on the pricer end of the kettle ranges, but with that high price you’re getting premium quality and a super cool looking kettle to fit right into your home.
