HKM-744019 Digital Intelligent 1L Glass Electric Kettle with Rapid Boil Function

Glass Jug, Six Programmes, Rose Gold

HKM-744019 is a 1.0 L glass jug on a white base with rose-gold trim and a small display: the jug is high borosilicate glass with fluted sides, a beaked spout and a glass handle, and the lid is white with a rose-gold knob. The panel carries six programmes, printed in Chinese and numbered P1 to P6, plus keys for delay, keep warm and function.

It suits a desk or a small kitchen where one vessel is asked to do more than boil: the programmes cover boiling water, flower tea, ginger tea, dessert, herbal decoction and slow stewing, which is the range a glass health pot is usually bought for. The 1.0 L fill is a day's tea for one or two, and the glass makes the colour of the infusion part of the object.

At a Glance

• Type — glass jug kettle on a corded digital base
• Capacity — 1.0 L, marked as the maximum on the jug
• Jug — high borosilicate glass, fluted, with a glass handle
• Programmes — six, P1 to P6, labelled in Chinese
• Keys — delay, keep warm, function and cancel
• Voltage — 220–240 V or 100–120 V, chosen as a variant

Materials and Construction

The jug is high borosilicate glass, blown with a fluted wall that runs vertically from the shoulder to the foot and thickens at the base where it meets the plate. A maximum mark is printed in white at 1.0 L, with a small triangular caution symbol below it, and the spout is a short beak pinched from the same wall rather than a separate tube.

The handle is glass too, drawn out from the body in a single loop — the same material as the jug, which is why it stays clear rather than being sleeved. The lid is a white disc with a rose-gold knob and a small vent, and the base is a rounded rectangle in white with a rose-gold band across the front around the display.

• The display is a small dark window at the left of the panel, showing the programme number rather than a temperature in the photographs.
• The programme list is printed to the right of the display in two columns: P1 to P6, each with a two-character Chinese name.
• Three keys sit at the right of the panel under the list, marked for delay, keep warm, and function or cancel.

How It Works

Water and ingredients go into the jug, the jug is set on the plate, and one of the six programmes is chosen with the function key. The display shows the programme number, and the element runs to the profile that programme sets; the delay key postpones the start and the keep-warm key holds the temperature afterwards. No wattage, temperature or hold time is published in the listing, so none is given here.

The six programmes are printed in Chinese. Read literally they cover boiling water (P1), flower tea (P2), ginger tea (P3), dessert (P4), herbal decoction (P5) and slow stewing (P6) — the last two are the ones that separate a health pot from a kettle, since they run long and low rather than to a boil. The English words here are a translation of the printed labels, not a redefinition of the programmes.

The glass is the interface as much as the panel is: with the wall clear, the colour of a flower tea or a ginger decoction is visible while it steeps, and the level can be read without a gauge. The caution symbol below the maximum mark is there because the jug itself gets hot — it is glass, and it holds boiling liquid.

Placement and Use

The base is a rounded rectangle, wider than a kettle plate, so it wants its own corner of the counter rather than a shared spot. Leave clearance at the spout for a cup, and keep the plate dry — the display and keys are under a glass window at the front seam.

• Fill to the 1.0 L mark rather than above it; the jug has no headspace for a rolling boil beyond that.
• Lift the jug by its glass handle, and let it cool before washing so the wall is not shocked.
• Wipe the plate rather than washing it, and keep water out of the coupling.

Included and Optional

Colours and Finishes

One colourway is sold: a clear glass jug with a white lid and base, trimmed in rose gold at the knob and around the display. The glass is untinted, so the jug takes its colour from what is inside it, which is the point of the design rather than a limitation of the finish.

The base is white moulded plastic with a rose-gold printed band; the panel window is black glass. No other colour is offered on this listing, and no coating is described for the glass.

Care and Maintenance

Wash the jug by hand with warm water and a soft brush — a bottle brush reaches the shoulder without scratching the fluted wall. Neither the jug nor the base is dishwasher safe, and the jug should not be set down hot on a cold stone surface, since the point of borosilicate is that it tolerates a wide band of temperature rather than a shock across a wet worktop.

For mineral film, stand a little white vinegar and water in the jug, then rinse twice. Wipe the base with a dry cloth; the keys are membrane contacts under glass, and water pressed across them is the usual cause of a key that stops responding. Store the lid off so the jug dries inside.
