Kettle Kitchen

The Magimix range has long featured in the background of television cookery shows and of those kitchen photographs in recipe books. Why? Magimix, one of the first names in kitchen appliances over thirty years ago is famous for its fabulous products and serious users will swear by nothing else.

The history and design of these products, whilst utterly French, are known worldwide. Providing professional appliances in domestic enviroments, Magimix has at it's core, four values: quality, practicality, simplicity and appearance. The Magimix Kettle has these four in buckets!

Available in either brushed stainless steel with a charcoal handle (Model 11566) or in polished stainless steel with a cream (Model 11561), deep red (Model 11563) or charcoal (Model 11565) handle, this kettle is award winning thanks to the design and its innovative double wall body keeping the heat in the water for longer. This saves time and electricity between boils which saves you money.

A boil dry safety mechanism, antiscale filter, back lit water gauge and three year guarantee, all as standard, prove this kettle isn't just about looks but is a great design and great kettle for both you and your kitchen.

A funky stainless steel kettle, the Rowenta Prelude Illumination Kettle ( Model BV500 ) is a neat cordless jug design in stainless steel with a slight brushed effect. Clever features include a button operated lid opener which will pivot the lid allowing easy filling. However the main standout feature is the ability to light up inside the kettle giving a pleasant green glow visible through the 2 large windows on each side.

A sleek black design, this Bosch TWK6733GB kettle in black is part of the private collection, a range of appliances Bosch manufacture. Not a massive capacity but with a powerful element, this design is suggested as being one of the quicker fast boil kettles available. The extra bonus is the inclusion of a Brita water filter to reduce limescale and also produce boiling water with fewer impurities. The large semi transparent window at the front helps users fill the kettle only as much as they need thus saving water and electricity.

This has got to be one of the best kettles with consistent good reviews. The JK147 Blue Ice Jug kettle from Breville can be pride of place in your kitchen with its 360 degree transparency. Made from a tough and durable polycarbonate body, this material gives you a crystal clear view into the kettle to determine exactly how much water you are using.

Not only do you minimise waste water and electricity using this clever design but there is a blue illumination when the kettle is turned on.

You're going to want to take this kettle out with you so you can show off! This is one cool kettle - literally! Insulated with a special plastic material, the heat from the water remains inside the kettle so the surface won't burn you. Clever features include boil dry protection and a lid that not only is operated by a push button but also incorporates a safety sensor which only allows the kettle to be activated when the lid is fully closed.

Early models did have some issues but the updated Mark 2 TW911P2 version has looks to have countered these and Siemens offers a 2 year guarantee. With a designer like F. A. Porsche and a manufacturer like Siemens you're going to make a point of inviting people in for coffee just to let them marvel at this modern work of art.
