Tea? Hot chocolate? Instant soup? If you have a taste for it, the Hamilton Beach 1.7 Liter Glass Kettle can have it ready in minutes, incorporating the best of Good Thinking. With 1500w, this kettle can boil water faster than a microwave and is safer to use than a stovetop kettle because it automatically turns off when the water reaches a boil. The modern soft blue illumination in the kettle along with a brushed, stainless steel base is compact and space-saving on the kitchen counter.
