Customer Reviews Bodum Bodum Bistro, Electric Water Kettle, 0.5 l, 17 oz.

This was my first electric kettle and I love it! So convenient to have for work or travel. I love the size and streamline design. Only thing it does not have is a thermometer to let you know what temp the water is.

This is a terrific small kettle for tea, hot chocolate, etc. It fits into a small space and does not take up much counter space. The kettle comes off the base, so the base stays plugged in and there is no plugging/unplugging.

This is great little hot water pot! Perfect size for two small cups of tea or one morning cup of coffee. And it is so quiet!

This is a very nice, compact, kettle. Good for a cup of tea or two, or a small batch of drip filter coffee. You don't have to boil a large kettle of water to make a cup or two, and it has a very small profile, so it doesn't take up much counter space. A bit expensive, but the only one of its kind I could find.

This is a great small kettle. It is a perfect size for the counter top and is not too heavy when full of water. It makes four cups of tea or coffee. The quality of the product is excellent!

Works great. No complaints. I use this to make the occasional cup of tea at the office. I like that it heats up quickly and that the pitcher is not attached to a cord when you pour.

I got the large Bodum electric kettle for home and this smaller one for work. I almost wish I had just gotten two this smaller size! I particularly like the way the lid flips open. Zero regrets on this purchase.

Looks great, works great on my desk in my little office. Small size is perfect for my space and capacity. Saving time and money not running out every afternoon to get tea!

I had an older style Bodum Electric kettle in which the heating mechanism was inside. This is outside, and much better! You can see how far you are filling it up by the convenient labeling on the side. I brought this in to make tea while I work in lab by my office and its just perfect. The green color is so cheerful too. Im very pleased with my purchase and with Bodum's products that I have used so far.

I got this one in black, simply because it looks nice and match the other things I have on my kitchen counters. It is the perfect size for me and it works very well. I really like it!

Bodum is the only company that happens to make an electric kettle of this size, so it's perfect for what I was looking for. Two things I wish it had was an option to boil water at a higher temperature, and it would boil faster like most electric kettles on the market can do. I'm an Iced Tea drinker myself, and my tea has to brew at 212 degrees in order to be any good(it's all about loose leaf of mid-range quality for me). I have to hold the power button for 30 seconds longer just to get it close to 200 degrees, if even that. I don't really know how hot it gets. Holding it down longer gets the handle too hot. I rated it only 3 stars because for the price I would could have purchased an electric kettle with the two features I indicated, but I guess I'm paying more for the size than anything. This would be a great kettle for someone who is not in a hurry to prepare their favorite beverage and doesn't require their tea or coffee to be any hotter than the kettle's boiling point.
