Krups Café Control BW9238

This kettle is of an all-round solid quality and is easy to use from the moment it is unpacked, also thanks to the reliably appealing touch panel. However, we have to criticise the fact that boiling water with this model is anything but quick: you have to allow several minutes more than with the WMF kettle, for example.

Our test has shown that a good kettle doesn't have to be expensive to work reliably. The Philips HD9318/20 price tip impresses with its unbeatable value for money. With simple operation, well thought-out safety features and a relatively cool housing during operation, it offers everything a kettle needs for everyday use...

This is followed by the Krups model, which is anything but fast with a boiling time of 5:43 min (Te from 20 - 100 °c). Thanks to the "gooseneck", the water can be tipped out precisely and the sensitive touch panel also provides a phenomenal user experience. The only thing you should avoid is an angle that is too steep, as otherwise water can run out of the lid and next to the cup, for example.
