It’s officially fall and now is the time to sip hot beverages. The new Smeg Mini Kettle is totally going to be your cup of tea thanks to all the gorgeous pastel and classic colors it comes in. Electric tea kettle devotees and retro-inspired appliance fans take note. Once you try an electric kettle, you may never go back to the stove!
What is the Smeg Mini Kettle?
The Smeg Mini Kettle is a more compact version of the original full-size electric tea kettle the Italian brand is known for. It has all the charming vintage styling you love but with a more modest three-cup capacity (and lower price tag.)
The min Smeg is the ideal way to have hot water in a jiffy for tea, and the 0.8-liter capacity brings just the right amount of water for you and a loved one to have oversized cups ready to pour. While it’s most commonly used for speedy tea making, this petite Smeg appliance is also the best way to pour hot water into instant coffees, soups and couscous.
Smeg is one of our favorite vintage 1950s-style kitchen accessories thanks to true-to-the-era lines and pastel and bold colors like cream, pink, red, pastel blue, soft green and the always-trendy solid black. Every hue comes with gorgeous chromed edges and rims you’ll be eager to display. That’s a good thing because you’ll comfortably keep this one on your countertop every day for easy access and impromptu brews.
It also coordinates well with other vintage-inspired kitchen lines like Drew Barrymore’s sage green appliances. High-end features like a non-slip base and wrap-around cord keep things tidy, while the non-drip spout protects you from hot water accidents.
The best part? Even all the vintage-seeming details like the on-off lever are actually modern high-tech features. Pushing the lever down activates LED lighting that lets you know exactly when your hot water is ready.
