A 2.9-Litre Kettle With a Tea Strainer

HKM-6055891 is a 2.9 L electric kettle with a glass upper section, a stainless mesh strainer that hangs inside it, and a touch base with a live temperature readout. It is built for volume: a full pot for a table rather than a single mug.

The strainer is what separates it from a plain kettle. Leaf goes in the mesh, water heats around it, and the basket lifts out when the strength is right — no separate pot, no second vessel to wash.

Heating is 2000 W, which is what makes 2.9 L practical rather than an exercise in waiting.

At a Glance

• Type — electric kettle with tea strainer
• Capacity — 2.9 L
• Power — 2000 W
• Body — glass upper section, stainless-steel lower
• Display — LED readout on the base
• Safety — automatic shut-off

Materials and Construction

The upper section is glass, so the water level and the colour of the brew are visible without lifting the lid. Below the waist the body is stainless steel, which carries the element and the base coupling.

The strainer is a stainless mesh cylinder that hangs from the lid. Its holes are fine enough for leaf tea and coarse enough that the water still circulates, which is the difference between an infusion and a bag sitting in still water.

• Glass upper, stainless lower, with a visible water line
• Mesh strainer hanging from the lid, removable
• Two handles: one on the body, one on the lid assembly

The Glass Upper Section

Glass is not decoration here. Watching the leaf open is how you judge strength, and a steel body gives no signal until you pour. The trade is care: glass does not tolerate a cold rinse straight after a boil.

Because the strainer sits in the water rather than above it, the leaf stays submerged and infuses evenly. Lifting the basket stops the brew at the point you choose instead of at the point you notice.

Because the strainer hangs from the lid rather than sitting on the floor, the leaf is lifted clear when the lid comes off, which stops the infusion without pouring the tea away from the leaf.

How It Works

2.9 L is roughly twelve cups. That is a table-sized pot, a meeting room, or a counter where the kettle runs all morning and nobody wants to refill it every twenty minutes.

Fill to the line rather than the brim. Headroom matters when the water comes to a boil, and a full kettle is heavy to lift with one hand.

At 2.9 L the kettle is a table piece rather than a countertop one: it is filled at the sink, carried by a handle set high enough to clear the shoulder, and set down where the cups are. That is also why the base is broad — a vessel this size is unstable on a narrow plate once it is more than half full, and the extra width is what keeps it from rocking when the lid is lifted.

The readout on the base is the working instrument: it shows the water temperature rather than a setting, so the person pouring can see where the kettle is without lifting a lid or trusting a light.

Placement and Use

The base needs a level, dry surface and enough depth for the body to seat squarely. Keep the touch panel away from the sink splash zone; wet fingers on a capacitive panel are unreliable.

• Level counter with clearance above the lid handle
• Dry contacts before seating the body
• Automatic shut-off when the set point is reached or the body runs dry

For hospitality use, the readout saves a thermometer: the panel shows the temperature without lifting the lid.

Included and Optional

One colourway is sold: a black frame with a stainless collar at the waist and a clear glass upper. The black is a matte moulding rather than a coat, so it does not chip at the edges the way a painted shell can, and the stainless band is the only bright surface on the object apart from the touch panel's readout.

Colours and Finishes

One finish is listed: black body and lid with polished stainless trim at the collar and base. The glass section stays clear, so the visible colour on the counter is the tea.

Against a stainless or black appliance run it disappears; against a white kitchen it reads as a deliberate object rather than another appliance.

The strainer is the part that needs attention rather than the glass. Leaf packs against the mesh while it steeps, and once it dries it is much harder to shift, so the basket is rinsed under a running tap before the kettle is put away rather than the next morning. The glass upper wipes clear with a soft cloth; the stainless lower section takes vinegar when a film appears at the element.

Care and Maintenance

Remove the strainer and rinse it after every use; leaf left in the mesh dries hard and blocks the holes. Wash the glass by hand with warm water, never cold water into a hot vessel.

Descale monthly in hard-water areas. A grey film on the stainless floor of the body is calcium, and it slows every subsequent boil.
