Boiling water has never been so easy.

It's likely that a warm beverage is an essential part of your morning or self-care routine. Whether you love sipping on a hot cup of Earl Grey while skimming the morning headlines or are rushing to throw together a chai to chug on your way to the gym, a good tea kettle is a kitchen essential. The best part is that most of them look super cute, so they basically double as home decor, too.

Not a tea person? You can even use this to boil water for pasta or rice when you're in a rush, or to make a cup of pour-over coffee. In fact, you don't even need to have a kitchen to benefit from a good tea kettle. A quality kettle can make a great gift to the college student in your life who's living in a dorm for the first time. (They'll thank you when those late night ramen and caffeine cravings hit.)

Before thinking about the type of tea kettle you want, you'll want to consider your priorities. If you're looking for something that'll look gorgeous on your kitchen counter, you can't go wrong with Smeg's iconic aesthetic or a minimalist gold vibe. Or, maybe you just want a kettle big enough for tea time when your family's in town. You'll want this tea kettle that can hold up to two liters of hot water.

See below for the 11 best electric tea kettles you can get—grab one for yourself and another for your favorite tea lover, too.

The best part of this kettle is that it doesn't look like a typical kettle. Plus, it has a great price point, automatic shut-off feature, and a cool ceramic finish.

If you're trying to caffeinate (or boil pasta water) on a budget and time crunch, you need this glass kettle. The open lid makes pouring easy, and since it's clear, you'll know exactly when it's time to re-fill.

A must for the person who loves to host their friends for dinner parties or have their family over around the holidays, this tea kettle holds up to two liters of liquid so you won't have to make your post-dinner tea or pour-over coffee in batches.

For the person trying to transform their space into a smart home, this kettle's bound to spark your interest. It features six pre-set temps to get your beverage to the exact heat you like it, and it'll even keep it at that exact temperature for 30 minutes after you hit "start."

Whether you can't travel without a caffeine fix or just don't have the counter space to hold a kettle all the time, you'll love this foldable kettle. It comes with a separate cord and travel case for easy packing, making it the perfect gift for the caffeine-loving college student in your life.

You likely recognize this one from all your favorite celeb cooking shows. The iconic, Italian-founded Smeg appliance isn't cheap, but you should know that once you get one of these, you'll never need another kettle again.

It features an automatic shut-off and is smartly designed with a limescale filter to ensure it stays in the same shape you bought it in forever. If you're not in the market for one for yourself, the tea lover in your life will love you for gifting them this.

Sometimes aesthetics are the most important feature, and there's no shame in wanting a gorgeous, Insta-ready kitchen counter. Between the elegant glass copper finish, anti-scald handle, and BPA-free materials, it may become your new favorite piece of home decor.

Turns out kettles aren't just for making beverages or boiling water for Cup Noodles anymore. This one has one-touch buttons automated for heating up a baby's drink, making hard-boiled eggs, and even disinfecting non-edible items.

I imagine this would be the kind of kettle you'd find in a classy, minimalist European kitchen. The matte black finish is super elegant and the sophisticated design is just distinctive enough to stand out without being too flashy.

Just be prepared to tell all your guests where you got it—trust me, they'll ask.

Let's get practical for a moment—nothing ruins the excitement of prepping a soothing cup of chai more than burning your hand on a scalding hot handle (take it from someone who's been there far too many times). The cool-touch handle on this sleek stainless steel kettle ensures that'll never happen.

Best if you're trying to make pour-over coffee, this goose neck kettle has an attractive look that's actually ergonomically designed to be comfortable in your hand. Most goose neck kettles can get pricey, but this one's a total bargain considering the fact that it's made with sustainably-sourced cork, too.

Pair with the matching pour-over coffee maker for a full set.
