HKM-6580179 Smart Electric Glass Kettle with Tea Infuser - 800W High Borosilicate Glass, Ideal for Liquid Heating and Tea Brewing

HKM-6580179 · Electric Kettles · 800 W, Glass Jug, 18 Programmes

Glass Jug, Steel Infuser, 18 Modes

HKM-6580179 is an 800 W glass kettle with a stainless tea infuser that hangs from the lid into the jug, a white lid and handle, and a white base whose front edge is printed with eighteen numbered programmes and four keys. The jug is high borosilicate glass, the infuser is SUS304 mesh, and the base carries a small display that shows the programme code.

It suits a kitchen where one appliance is asked to boil water, brew loose leaf and simmer a dessert: the programme list runs from water and flower tea through porridge, soup and dessert to milk, egg and noodles, which is a wider set than a kettle normally carries. The glass makes the brew visible, and the infuser means the leaf can be lifted out rather than left in.

At a Glance

• Type — glass kettle with a hanging infuser, corded base
• Power — 800 W, as stated in the listing
• Jug — high borosilicate glass, white lid and handle
• Infuser — SUS304 stainless mesh cylinder
• Programmes — eighteen, numbered 1 to 18 on the base
• Keys — preset/timing, power/temperature, function, on/off

Materials and Construction

The jug is high borosilicate glass, cylindrical with a slight shoulder and a thick base where it seats on the plate. The lid is white, domed, with a broad flat knob, and the handle is a rectangular loop in the same white moulding, anchored at the shoulder and at the base collar rather than on the glass itself.

The infuser is a mesh cylinder in SUS304 with a solid band at the top and bottom, hanging from the underside of the lid on a short stem so its base sits just above the floor of the jug. That placement is what makes it work as an infuser: the leaf is in the water, but the mesh keeps it out of the pour.

• The base is a white slab with a rounded front edge, and the programme list is printed across it in two rows of nine.
• The display is a small dark window between the keys, showing a code such as F01 in red.
• Four round keys sit along the front edge: preset and timing, power and temperature, function, and on/off.

How It Works

Water goes into the jug, leaf into the infuser, the lid on, the jug on the plate. The function key steps through the eighteen programmes printed on the base; the preset and timing key sets a delay, and the power and temperature key sets the heat. The display shows the chosen code while the programme runs.

The eighteen programmes, read from the print on the base, are: water, flower tea, fruit tea, keep warm, medicinal, porridge, soup, dessert, coffee, steam, hotpot, milk, warm milk, egg, noodles, disinfect, pasteurize and cutlose — the last is printed as a word in the supplier's own artwork and is left as printed rather than interpreted. Together they describe an appliance built for a Chinese kitchen, where a glass pot of this kind is used for tonics and congees as much as for tea.

The 800 W element is the one electrical figure published. No capacity, no temperature range and no programme duration is given in the listing, so none is stated here beyond the eighteen names.

Placement and Use

The base is a slab rather than a disc, so it wants open counter: the front edge has to stay clear for the keys and the display. Leave height above the lid for lifting the jug off, and keep the plate dry, since the keys are printed contacts on its face.

• Fill below the shoulder, so the lid and the infuser stem seat correctly.
• Lift the jug by its handle, not by the lid, which carries the infuser.
• Wipe the plate and the jug's foot before setting it back.

Included and Optional

Colours and Finishes

One colourway is sold: a clear jug with white lid, handle and base. The glass is untinted, the infuser is bright stainless, and the only other colour on the object is the red of the display when it is lit and the black of the printed programme list.

The listing carries a single default variant and no colour choice. No coating is described for the glass, and the white parts are moulded rather than painted.

Care and Maintenance

Wash the jug by hand with warm water and a soft brush; the infuser needs a brush to clear leaf from the mesh. Neither the jug nor the base is dishwasher safe. For mineral film, stand a little white vinegar and water in the jug and rinse twice.

Wipe the base with a dry cloth and keep water out of the coupling and the key area. The jug should not be set down hot on a cold stone surface: borosilicate tolerates a wide band of temperature, not a shock across a wet worktop. Store the lid off so the jug and the infuser dry through.
