Brentwood KT-2230DBK 3L 1100W Digital Glass Instant Hot Water Dispenser with Tea Infuser - Black
Brentwood KT-2230DBK 3-Liter Digital Glass Instant Hot Water Dispenser with Tea Infuser
A kettle boils and then goes cold. The Brentwood KT-2230DBK stays hot. It holds 3 liters of water in a borosilicate glass tank, heats it to whatever temperature you dial in between 104F and 212F, and keeps it there for eight hours - so the second cup of tea, the third pour-over, and the after-dinner instant coffee all come out of the same tank without a re-boil.
What's Included
- Dispenser base
- Removable 3 L borosilicate glass tank with carry handle
- Stainless steel inner lid
- Stainless steel tea infuser
- Removable drip tray
Key Features
- Adjustable 104F to 212F: Green tea does not want boiling water and neither does a baby bottle. Dial the exact temperature instead of boiling and waiting for it to fall.
- 8-Hour Keep-Warm: Set it in the morning and it is still at temperature after lunch. This is what separates a dispenser from a kettle.
- 3-Liter Borosilicate Glass Tank: About 16 servings, in glass rather than plastic, so nothing leaches or picks up a taste. BPA-free and FDA approved.
- Built-In Stainless Tea Infuser: Steep loose-leaf tea in the unit itself - no separate teapot, no bags.
- 5 oz or 10 oz Precise Pours: Choose your dispense volume and it stops on its own. Fits mugs up to 7 inches tall, including travel tumblers.
- Child Safety Lock: The dispense button locks out, which matters a great deal for a countertop appliance holding three liters of near-boiling water.
- Overheat and Boil-Dry Protection: It shuts itself down if it is run empty, so a forgotten refill does not cost you the appliance.
- Lift-Off Tank: The whole tank comes off by its handle for sink filling and cleaning - you are not carrying the base to the tap.

Perfect For
Tea drinkers who care about steeping temperature, pour-over coffee, French press, offices and break rooms, instant oatmeal and noodles, hot cocoa on winter mornings, French-press-and-a-newspaper Sunday routines, and households with a lot of hot-water traffic. The child lock also makes it a reasonable choice for a kitchen with kids in it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it a kettle or a dispenser?
A: A dispenser. It heats water and then holds it at temperature for eight hours, and you dispense into your cup rather than pouring from a kettle.
Q: Can I steep loose-leaf tea in it?
A: Yes - a stainless steel tea infuser is included and drops into the unit.
Q: Does it pour any amount I want?
A: It dispenses in two set volumes, 5 oz or 10 oz. That is a deliberate design choice for repeatability, not free-pour.
Q: Can I put the glass tank in the dishwasher?
A: No. This unit is not rated dishwasher safe. Hand wash the tank.
Q: Will my travel mug fit under the spout?
A: If it is 7 inches tall or shorter, yes - that is the published clearance.
Q: Is there a model-name confusion I should know about?
A: Yes. Brentwood and Amazon call this KT-2230DBK; Target and Walmart list the same UPC as KT-2230BK. It is the same product. Do not confuse it with the KT-2300DBK, which is a different 1800W unit.
Care & Use
Descale periodically with a water-and-white-vinegar solution if you have hard water - mineral scale is the number one killer of hot-water appliances. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Hand wash the glass tank and the tea infuser; this unit is not dishwasher safe. Empty and dry the drip tray regularly. Never run the unit without water in the tank - the boil-dry protection will trip, but repeated dry runs are hard on the element.
Why Choose Brentwood?
Brentwood publishes full specifications, a cETLus approval code, and a 1-year warranty for this model on brentwoodus.com. Borosilicate glass, a real child lock, and both overheat and boil-dry protection are the kind of details that usually show up on appliances costing considerably more.
