Different types of teas and coffees should be brewed at certain temperatures for the optimal taste. The Smart Kettle by Sage has 5 pre-programmed heat settings for Black, Green, White or Oolong Tea and Coffee with the capacity to make 7 cups of your favourite hot drink. There is a keep warm function that operates for 20 minutes and a quiet boil element that keeps the sound to an absolute minimum.
To bring out the optimal quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves, a lower temperature will produce a better-flavoured cup of tea. For example, steeping green, white or oolong teas in boiling water may scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter brew. The Smart Kettle Clear features an electronic control panel which offers five different settings for optimal tea and coffee brewing: Green Tea: 80°C
White Tea: 85°C
Oolong Tea: 90°C
Coffee: 95°C
Black Tea: 100°C
The convenient keep warm function can be used before, during or on completion of the water heating cycle. When the water has reached the selected Celsius temperature, the keep warm function will hold the selected temperature for 20 minutes.
The soft top lid allows steam to be released gently so there is no splashing or risk of burning if you are near the kettle when it boils.
