We recommend an electric kettle for tea lovers, although they’ll work for anyone, and this one is one of our top picks. It has an insulated, double-walled body, with four preset programs (for oolong, white and green tea, along with a button for simmering), an auto shutoff, and a “keep warm” mode. It also has a lovely look with a matte finish, which is available in attractive colors like cornflower blue and sage green. We also like that the buttons on the touch-activated display are only visible when the kettle is in use, so it looks super sleek and unobtrusive on countertops when turned off. —Brenda Stolyar
