Russell Hobbs Variable Temperature Kettle…

The Russell Hobbs Addison suits tea and coffee drinkers who care about brewing at the right temperature rather than just boiling water to 100°C every time. Its standout feature against standard kettles is variable temperature control, with five presets between 70°C and 100°C to suit everything from delicate white tea to strong black coffee, alongside a keep-warm function that holds your chosen temperature for up to 30 minutes. The LED display and 360-degree base add further everyday convenience, and the 3000W element keeps boiling times reasonably quick despite the extra functionality.

The honest trade-off is that this level of precision costs more than a basic kettle, so buyers who only ever want water at a rolling boil may be paying for features they won't use. With a 4.2-star rating from 92 reviews, it has a solid but not flawless reputation, suggesting most owners are satisfied while some have had a less smooth experience. Typically priced £49.99-£74.99, it sits above entry-level kettles, reflecting the added temperature control. For households with varied tea and coffee preferences, it's a genuinely useful upgrade.
