A kettle is without a doubt one of the most important elements of a Scottish kitchen- how else are you supposed to make a good cuppa? And one kettle on Amazon is taking tea-brewing into the future, and what’s more, it’s currently on a generous offer.
The Bosch Styline TWK8633GB Variable Temperature Cordless Kettle in black is currently 20 per cent off for Amazon Prime users, cut down from a steep £69.99 to a more affordable £56.05.
The kitchen gadget boasts many modern features that will revolutionise your tea and coffee making. This smart kettle makes perfect tea every time thanks to its individual LED temperature settings of 70C, 80C, 90C and boiling (100C ), meaning you can heat water to the perfect temperature for black tea, green tea, white tea, coffee and more.

The double-wall of the kettle keeps the boiled water hotter for longer, while the outside remains cool and safe to touch, and it also boasts a ‘keep warm’ function that can keep water your choice of temperature for up to half an hour.
Its limescale filter and enclosed heating feature also make cleaning your kettle quick and simple, while the triple safety feature includes automatic shut-off, overheat and boil-dry protection.
With over 9,000 ratings, the cordless kettle has gained an overall score of 4.5 stars out of a possible five, and a whopping 78 per cent of reviewers gave it top marks.
One happy customer said: “Excellent kettle. Boils quickly, turns off immediately it gets to temperature with an alarm to notify required temperature reached. Looks good, press lid to lift it to fill. Not heavy. Have had the kettle a week and I would already recommend it.”
Another satisfied shopper wrote: “Very happy with this item. It’s turned out to be so much better than expected – it’s fast to boil and so much quieter than my old jug kettle.”
A third pleased purchaser said: “Over the years, I’ve used countless kettles—probably more than 30 if I go back to my childhood—and this Bosch Styline is the first one I genuinely want to rave about. For a kitchen gadget that most of us use multiple times a day, this kettle is simply brilliant.”
But not everyone was so pleased with this cordless kettle. One customer said: “Honestly, if it were possible to give no stars, I would! Firstly, the ridiculous beep when turning on or off is irritating. There can be no sneaky hot drinks in our house, that’s for sure.
“Secondly, my purchase was made after a lot of research into ‘quiet’ kettles. What a joke. The rumble is so loud that it can be heard on every floor of our home.
I made a horrible, pricy mistake and now I can’t return it because we didn’t keep the box. The fact that the lid gives me a heart attack when it randomly pops open is the proverbial cherry on top.”
For those browsing cordless kettle alternatives, Argos offers the De’Longhi KBX3016.BG Argento Flora Kettle, currently on sale for £45 from £69, or the Breville VKT221 Bold Kettle for just £30.
