Elegant Mini Electric Ceramic Kettle

The Elegant Mini Electric Ceramic Kettle is Vesper’s small countertop heater for one or two servings. It holds 600ml and runs at 360W, with a digital screen that shows the cooking time and microcomputer temperature control for steady heat. The cup sits on a separate base, so once it is done you lift it off and pour or eat straight from it.

You choose the cup that suits you: a ceramic cup, or one made from high borosilicate glass. Both are topped with a ceramic lid. The split design means the cup detaches fully from the powered base, which keeps cleaning simple and the electrics dry. The supplier describes it as a stew cup, so it is built for warming water, brewing, and slow-stewing rather than fast rolling boils.

One thing to know before you order: every version runs on 220V, even though you can pick a US, EU, UK or AU plug shape. If your outlets are 120V you would need a step-up voltage converter for it to heat properly. Dimensions are 164 x 133 x 228mm for the ceramic cup and 166 x 133 x 221mm for the glass cup.
