Both Tiers in Borosilicate With Nothing but the Collars in SteelTwo Tier Glass Kettle Plunger Basket

HKM-7137235 is a two-tier glass kettle: a lower jug that sits on the digital base and boils, and an upper brew chamber that lifts off, carrying its own handle, spout, lid and a stainless mesh basket on a plunger rod.

Both tiers are high borosilicate glass, the lower one wrapped in a slotted outer shell, and the base carries a display for temperature, timing and water type.

It suits a desk or a small kitchen where one vessel is expected to boil the water and brew the tea in the same footprint.

Body, Material and Fit

Both tiers are high borosilicate glass, chosen for its resistance to thermal shock — the reason a glass vessel can take boiling water without crazing.

The lower jug is sleeved in a slotted plastic shell that leaves vertical windows of glass showing, so the water level is visible while the hand is shielded from the wall; the design sketch in the gallery labels that construction as plastic over glass.

The upper chamber is a plain glass cylinder with a stainless collar at its foot, a moulded handle and a short spout at the rim.

• Material: High borosilicate glass, stainless collars, plastic
• Filter: Stainless mesh basket on a plunger rod
• Base Display: Temperature, timing, purified and tap water, °C/°F

Its lid is a glass disc with a brushed knob, and through the centre runs a rod ending in a stainless mesh basket: pressing the knob drives the basket down, lifting it draws the basket back up.

Heating, Capacity and Control

Water goes into the lower jug, which is set on the base and heated; the panel shows the temperature as it climbs, with the scale switchable between °C and °F.

The icons along the panel name the functions rather than the temperatures: timing, purified water and tap water, each with its own key beside the display.

No preset temperatures are printed, and no wattage is published, so neither is claimed here.

Brewing happens in the upper tier. Leaf goes into the mesh basket, the chamber is set on the lower jug, and hot water is added; the plunger is then pressed to drive the basket down through the liquor, which is the reverse of a French press, where the plunger pushes the grounds down and the water stays put.

Who It Fits and How It Pours

The mesh basket hangs on a rod rather than from a fixed stem, so it can be pushed down into the water and lifted back out.

That is closer to a press than to an infusion basket: the leaf is driven under the surface at the start, then lifted clear at the end, and the strength is set by when the rod is raised rather than by how long the pot stands.

• Lifting the rod draws the basket clear so the infusion stops
• Both the boiling jug and the brew chamber are borosilicate
• Nothing on the water path hides what is happening
• The trade is that both tiers are glass and both must be treated as such - no cold rinse

What's in the Box

HKM-7137235 ships in one carton with the the product and the parts listed above. Check each item against the list before the first use, and keep the carton for the first month in case something has to go back.

Color and Finish

Both glass tiers wash by hand with warm water and a soft brush; the mesh basket needs a brush to clear the leaf that packs against it.

Neither tier should go in a dishwasher, and neither should be set down hot on a cold stone surface — the point of borosilicate is that it tolerates a wide band of temperature, not that it tolerates a shock across a wet worktop.

Care and Maintenance

Descale the lower jug with white vinegar and water when a film appears on the glass, then boil fresh water and rinse twice.

Wipe the base with a dry cloth; the panel is a membrane keypad under glass, and water pressed across it is the usual cause of a key that stops responding.

The upper chamber is also the serving vessel. It has its own handle and spout, so it can be lifted off the base and poured at the table while the lower jug stays on the plate, and the two tiers separate for washing.

The footprint is a base plate plus the height of two stacked glass tiers, so it wants open counter rather than space under a cabinet. Leave room above the upper lid for lifting the chamber off, and keep the base on a dry surface — the panel is glass and the plate is open at the seam.
