Brentwood KT-2018BK 1.7L 1100W Digital Glass Electric Kettle with Stainless Tea Infuser - Black

Brentwood KT-2018BK 1.7 Liter Digital Glass Electric Kettle with Tea Infuser

Brentwood built the KT-2018BK for loose-leaf tea drinkers, and it shows in two details: the borosilicate glass body lets you watch the leaves unfurl, and the stainless steel tea infuser is included rather than sold separately. Underneath, a digital panel offers 13 temperature levels from 104°F to 212°F in 9-degree steps plus four tea presets - white, green, oolong and black - and a two-hour keep-warm.

What's Included

• KT-2018BK glass kettle
• Cordless 360-degree power base
• Stainless steel tea infuser

Key Features

• Borosilicate Glass Body: See the water and the leaves. Borosilicate handles thermal cycling, which is why it is the glass used for kettles rather than ordinary soda-lime.
• Stainless Tea Infuser Included: Brew loose-leaf directly in the kettle - the infuser lifts out when the steep is done.
• 13 Temperature Levels: 104°F to 212°F in 9-degree increments - fine enough to actually distinguish a green tea from an oolong.
• Four Tea Presets: White, green, oolong and black/boil, each mapped to its correct brewing temperature.
• Two-Hour Keep-Warm: Holds your target temperature so the second and third cup match the first.
• Push-Button Pop-Open Lid: Opens wide with one button, which makes filling and loading the infuser one-handed.
• Concealed Element, BPA Free: A stainless interior with a hidden element and boil-dry protection.

Perfect For

Perfect for loose-leaf tea drinkers, pour-over coffee at 200°F, matcha and herbal infusions, tea-shop-quality brewing at home, and gifting to anyone who has ever complained that their green tea tastes bitter. (It tastes bitter because it was brewed at boiling. This kettle fixes that.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the tea infuser for?
A: Loose-leaf tea. It sits in the kettle so you can brew directly, then lifts out when the steep is finished - no separate teapot needed.

Q: Why 13 temperature settings?
A: Different teas want different water. Green and white teas brew well below boiling; black tea and coffee want near-boiling. The 9°F increments let you hit each one.

Q: Is the glass safe?
A: It is borosilicate glass, the type used for laboratory glassware and kettles because it tolerates thermal cycling far better than ordinary glass.

Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: Brentwood does not publish a dishwasher rating for this kettle, so we recommend hand washing and periodic descaling.

Q: How is this different from the KT-2015DBK?
A: Same digital temperature control, but the KT-2018BK adds a borosilicate glass body and the stainless tea infuser; the KT-2015DBK has an opaque cool-touch body.

Care & Use

• Hand wash the interior and rinse; descale periodically with a vinegar-and-water solution.
• Do not immerse the kettle or its base in water.
• Handle the glass body with normal care and never operate the kettle empty.
• Rinse the tea infuser after each use to prevent tannin buildup.
