Why this kettle earns its place
The Smeg Mini Kettle in pastel green is a small-capacity kettle for places where the kettle is on show and the boil volume is modest. Smeg describes the capacity as around three cups, so it suits individual rooms, small offices and compact accommodation spaces where a full-sized kettle is unnecessary.
Its double-walled casing is there for comfort and efficiency. The internal stainless steel wall helps maintain water temperature for longer, while the external wall remains colder to the touch. Smeg also lists a stainless steel interior and spout, plus a stainless steel lever and filter, giving the kettle a more substantial construction than its small footprint suggests.
The everyday usability details are all the right ones: concealed heating element, water level indicator, 360° swivel base, 1m integrated cord and anti-slip feet. Automatic switch-off keeps operation simple, with the kettle switching off once the water reaches boiling point.
