Cosori CGK-G173-KCA Glass Electric Kettle, 1.7 L, 1500 W

With a 1.7 L capacity, the Cosori CGK-G173-KCA has room to prepare hot water for several drinks or quick meals. Its borosilicate glass body and stainless steel components keep plastic away from the water. The 1500 W kettle boils 0.5 L in under three minutes, making a cup of tea or coffee a quick part of the day.

Who it’s for

This kettle suits households that regularly make tea, coffee, instant meals or other drinks that call for hot water. The 1.7 L capacity is practical when more than one person wants a drink, while clear water-level markings help you fill it for the amount you need. For a single serving, the stated boil time for 0.5 L is under three minutes, so you can heat a smaller amount without waiting for a full kettle.

Its cordless design lifts away from the 360° swivel base for pouring and serving. On a busy morning, for example, you can heat water, take the kettle to the counter and pour into mugs or a bowl of oatmeal without moving the base. The drip-less spout helps keep that everyday pour controlled.

What stands out

The plastic-free interior is a defining feature: water contacts borosilicate glass and stainless steel rather than plastic. A stainless steel filter is also part of the design, and the wide opening gives you access inside when cleaning. The two-level lid supports that access, while the clear glass lets you see the water as it heats.

A blue indicator light shows when heating is underway and turns off when the water is ready. Automatic shut-off stops heating once the water reaches boiling point, and boil-dry protection switches off the heater if it starts without enough water. Together, these functions make the routine straightforward: fill, switch on and pour when ready.

Buyer feedback often appreciates the appearance and the glass-and-steel construction. Experiences with reliability are mixed, however, with some buyers reporting that their kettle stopped working or that the glass cracked. These are individual customer reports, not a measure of how every unit will perform.

Highlights

At 1500 W, this kettle is designed for quick everyday boiling, the stated time is under three minutes for 0.5 L. That makes it useful when you need a fast hot drink or water for instant soup, noodles or oatmeal. Its 1.7 L capacity also works for preparing several servings in one go.

A stovetop kettle is another way to heat water, but this electric model combines a cordless serving design with automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection. The matte black finish, glass body and blue heating light give it a distinct look on the kitchen counter, while the wide opening helps make hand cleaning more accessible. Hand washing is the stated care method.

Practical questions

How much water can it hold? The kettle has a 1.7 L capacity. Water-level markings help you fill it for a single drink or a larger round of tea, coffee or hot water for food.

Does the water touch plastic? The interior is described as plastic-free. Water contacts borosilicate glass and stainless steel, and the kettle has a stainless steel filter.

How should it be cleaned? Hand washing is the recommended care method. For descaling, the manufacturer’s instructions describe boiling a mixture of one cup of vinegar or lemon juice and two cups of water, leaving it for two hours, then wiping, rinsing and drying the kettle.

Should you buy it?

Choose the Cosori CGK-G173-KCA if you want a countertop kettle with a 1.7 L capacity, a glass-and-stainless-steel interior and a cordless pour. Its rapid heating for smaller amounts, visible water and automatic safety shut-offs make it especially well suited to regular tea and coffee breaks, as well as quick hot-water needs for simple meals.
