BKE490XL specifications

The Breville BKE490XL Ikon Electric Kettle is a luxurious and high-performance kitchen appliance designed to enhance your boiling experience. With a modern aesthetic and practical features, it is a standout addition to any countertop.

One of the primary attributes of the Breville BKE490XL is its remarkable heating efficiency. It comes with a powerful 1500-watt element, allowing water to boil quickly and efficiently. This feature is particularly advantageous for those who frequently brew tea, coffee, or other hot beverages, as it minimizes wait time and maximizes convenience.

The kettle is designed with a generous 1.8-liter capacity, making it suitable for both individual use and entertaining guests. The large capacity ensures you can prepare multiple servings of your favorite hot drink in one go, saving both time and energy.

Precision is key with the Breville BKE490XL, and that’s where the integrated temperature settings come into play. Users can select from five different temperature settings—185°F, 205°F, and 212°F. This feature is perfect for various types of tea, as different teas require specific temperatures for optimal flavor extraction. Whether you prefer white, green, oolong, or black tea, this kettle can accommodate your preferences.

The kettle also includes a practical 'keep warm' function, which allows the water to maintain its desired temperature for up to 20 minutes. This feature is ideal for those who may not consume their beverage immediately but want it to stay hot.

Moreover, the Breville BKE490XL is crafted with premium stainless steel, ensuring longevity and durability. Its sleek design and elegant finish make it a stylish addition to any kitchen. The kettle is equipped with a large spout opening for easy pouring and a filter that ensures the water remains free of impurities.

Safety is another key consideration in the design of the Breville BKE490XL. It features an automatic shut-off system that activates when the water reaches a boil or if the kettle is lifted from its base. This ensures that the kettle does not boil dry, providing peace of mind while in use.

Lastly, the kettle is cord-free and comes with a 360-degree rotational base, allowing for convenient handling from any angle. These characteristics combine to provide an exceptional boiling experience, making the Breville BKE490XL Ikon Electric Kettle a must-have for any kitchen enthusiast.
