Although I use my kettles year-round, when the weather gets chilly, all I want in my hands is a warm and cozy drink. While a stovetop model will get the job done, an electric kettle gives you more control over temperature, heating schedules, and more. Stovetop or electric, there’s really no wrong pick, but if you want to take the guesswork out of heating water to the exact temperatures needed for coffee, green tea, black tea, herbal tea, and so on, then electric is likely your best bet. I’ve rounded up 5 electric kettles that will keep you warm through the holiday season and cold months ahead, and they’ll look great on your counter, too.
