HHT HK-A1 Electric Tea Kettle, 0.8 L Glass Infuser, Time & Temperature Control

A straightforward kettle suits quick boiling, while tea brewing often calls for more control over temperature and steeping time. The HHT HK-A1 brings both needs together in a compact glass kettle, with separate settings for brewing tea and heating water.

Its 0.8 L capacity is suited to personal servings, couples, an office desk or a small household. A removable stainless steel infuser makes it easy to brew loose-leaf tea in the same vessel.

Highlights

The HK-A1 offers Brew and Boil modes for different routines. In Brew mode, select a brewing time from 3 to 60 minutes and controlled power from 100–400 W to manage steeping. In Boil mode, choose a water temperature from 104–212°F, with ±1°F precision control. This level of adjustment is useful when you want to prepare different drinks at a chosen temperature rather than relying on a single boil setting.

The borosilicate glass kettle has a food-grade 304 stainless steel infuser and lid. Its BPA-free design avoids plastic contact with water during heating, while the fine-mesh infuser is made for loose-leaf tea, herbal blends and fruit teas. Once brewing is complete, the removable infuser can be taken out for serving and cleaning.

A 12-hour keep-warm function helps keep a drink ready for later. In Brew mode, the kettle maintains tea at ≤131°F after brewing, in Boil mode, the keep-warm temperature can be set from 104–203°F. Automatic shut-off activates when water reaches the selected temperature or when no water is detected, and boil-dry protection supports everyday use. Customers also highlight the temperature controls, with some describing them as especially useful for their tea routine and noting quick heating.

Cleaning & care

Hand wash the kettle. For a simple routine, remove the infuser after brewing and wash it separately, then clean the glass vessel and lid by hand. This keeps the tea-making parts ready for the next loose-leaf or herbal blend without relying on a dishwasher cycle.

Tips for day-to-day use

Choose Brew mode when steeping tea and set the time to suit the drink, use Boil mode when heating water to a selected temperature. For a drink you want to keep available, set the keep-warm temperature in Boil mode, or let Brew mode maintain the finished tea at its set level. The 0.8 L size suits smaller batches, such as a personal cup or servings for two, rather than making a large pot at once.

For example, an afternoon tea routine can start with loose leaves in the infuser and a selected brew time, then use the keep-warm function to have the finished tea available afterwards. If your priority is a basic kettle for boiling alone, a simpler format may suit that task, the HK-A1 is designed for people who also want timed steeping and temperature selection in one glass appliance.

Buying verdict

It’s a good fit if you want a compact kettle that does more than bring water to a boil. The dedicated brewing controls, removable fine-mesh infuser and adjustable keep-warm settings make the HHT HK-A1 a practical choice for loose-leaf tea, herbal blends and smaller everyday batches, with Boil mode available for temperature-controlled hot water.
