HKM-5990355 Electric Glass Teapot with Temperature Control and 2.7L Capacity, Automatic Shut-Off, Stainless Steel Design

HKM-5990355 · Electric Kettles · Two-Pot Tea Station, 2.7 L

Two Glass Pots on One Base

HKM-5990355 is a tea station rather than a single kettle: a tall 2.7 L vessel and a smaller glass pot, both seated on one base that heats them independently. Two temperatures, two infusions, one socket.

That layout solves a specific problem. Green tea wants water well below boiling and black tea wants it close to a boil; with one kettle you either wait between them or brew both wrong. Here the two vessels can be set apart.

Both vessels are glass above a stainless-steel lower body, so the leaf and the colour are visible while it brews.

At a Glance

• Type — two-vessel electric tea station
• Capacity — 2.7 L main vessel, plus a smaller glass pot
• Body — glass upper section, stainless-steel base section
• Control — touch panel, separate readouts for each side
• Safety — automatic shut-off
• Filter — stainless mesh infuser in each vessel

Materials and Construction

The upper sections are borosilicate-type glass, chosen because it takes repeated heating without the clouding that ordinary glass develops. Below the glass, each vessel has a stainless body that hides the element and takes the heat.

Each vessel has its own mesh infuser that hangs from the lid, so leaf is lifted out rather than left to stew. The base carries two displays, one per side, and a touch panel between them.

• Glass upper, stainless lower, on both vessels
• Removable mesh infusers, one per vessel
• Two independent readouts on a single base

Two Vessels, One Base

The tall vessel is the boiler: 2.7 L of water for a pot of tea or for topping up. The smaller one is for the pour itself, with the leaf in the infuser and the water at the temperature that suits it.

Because both sit on the same base, the sequence is: heat in the tall vessel, pour into the small one, lift the infuser when the strength is right. Nothing is carried across the kitchen.

The one thing the pair does not do is keep both vessels at temperature at the same time with the same setting: each zone is set on its own, which is the point of two readouts.

How It Works

Each side is set separately, which is the reason to buy this rather than a single kettle. Set the tall side high for black tea or for sterilising, and the small side lower for green or white tea.

Automatic shut-off ends heating when the set point is reached or when a vessel runs dry. It is a safety net, not a substitute for watching a first boil.

Placement and Use

The base is wide because it carries two vessels, so it needs a deeper counter run than a normal kettle. Leave clearance above the tall vessel for lifting the infuser out.

• Level surface, with height clearance above the tall pot
• Dry base contacts before seating either vessel
• Keep the touch panel clear of splashes

Both vessels are glass above the waist. Treat them as glass: no thermal shock, no cold water into a hot vessel.

The two vessels are not interchangeable in use, which is what makes the arrangement worth the counter space. The tall 2.7 L body is the reservoir: it is filled once, brought to a boil and then left to hold, and it is heavy enough when full that it stays where it is put. The small glass pot is the working vessel — it goes to the table, it is filled from the reservoir, and it is the part that is washed between rounds. A household that drinks tea through the day ends up using the reservoir twice and the pot six or seven times.

Included and Optional

Both vessels share the same finish language, so the pair reads as one appliance rather than two: black bodies, a stainless collar at the joint where the glass meets the frame, and a dark base with the touch panel across its front. The glass is untinted on both, which matters more than it sounds — the reservoir's level and the pot's infusion are read through the same clear wall.

Colours and Finishes

One finish is listed: black bodies with polished stainless collars and glass uppers. Because the glass is clear, most of the visible colour comes from the tea rather than from the appliance.

The black lower sections keep the hardware visually quiet, which matters on a counter where the pot is on show all day.

Two vessels means two descaling schedules. The reservoir scales at the element, which is why it is the one to treat with vinegar on a monthly rhythm; the glass pot only sees hot water that has already been boiled, so it needs a rinse and an occasional soak rather than a full descale. The stainless infusers are the third part: they hold leaf against the mesh, and a brush is the only thing that clears the perforations properly.

Care and Maintenance

Empty both vessels after use and leave the lids off to dry. Standing water in a glass vessel leaves a ring that is harder to remove than leaf tannin.

Descale the tall vessel monthly in hard-water areas. Wash the glass by hand; a dishwasher cycle clouds borosilicate over time and dulls the mesh infusers.
