Aarke Temperature Control Kettle - Sand - Double-Walled - Five Temperature Settings - 1.2L

An electric kettle in sand-textured powder coat that heats to five precise temperatures, from 40°C to 100°C, with a double-walled design that keeps the outside cool and reduces noise while boiling.

• Five temperature settings: 40°, 75°, 85°, 95°, and 100°C for tea, coffee, and instant broths
• Memory function recalls your last setting, so you're ready to go next time
• Double-walled construction stays cooler on the outside and boils quietly
• 1.2L capacity with 0.5L minimum to boil, ready in roughly 3 minutes
• Removable limescale filter keeps the kettle working cleanly for years
• Dry boil protection automatically shuts off if water runs low, adding a safety layer
• Comes with a three-pin UK and Ireland plug included

Aarke's kettle transforms one of the least interesting kitchen rituals into something that feels considered. Most kettles are either a noisy metal shriek or a slow, plastic affair. This one sits differently. The double-walled stainless steel construction means boiling is nearly silent, and the exterior stays cool enough to touch without thinking about it. No hot hands on your way to making tea.

The Sand finish is inspired by Sweden's southern coastline, a warm, muted beige with a softly textured powder coat that looks equally at home on a minimalist kitchen or a busier countertop. It's not sterile or design-magazine; it just sits there and belongs.

The real strength is the temperature control. Most people either boil water or they don't. But proper green tea wants 75°C, the best black tea sits around 95°C, and some instant broths work better at 85°C. The kettle lets you dial in what you actually need. The memory function means you don't have to reset it every morning. Just flick the switch, and it heats to whatever you used yesterday.

The LED indicator shows the current temperature as it heats and again as it cools, so you can see what's happening without guessing. The non-drip spout is a small detail but one that matters: no splash, no drips running down the kettle side onto your hand or the worktop.

Inside, everything touching the water is stainless steel or food-grade silicone and BPA-free polypropylene. The removable stainless steel limescale filter keeps mineral build-up from clogging the heating element, so the kettle stays efficient and the water stays clean. It's a part you can rinse under the tap, not something you buy again and again.

The one-handed slow-release lid means you can open it without flicking hot water everywhere. The whole thing is 1.6kg, solid enough to feel like it will last, but not so heavy it's awkward to move around.

Dry boil protection is there if you forget and hit the button with an empty kettle. It senses when there is no water and switches itself off before anything gets damaged. It's not the main feature, but it is the kind of thing that separates something you keep for ten years from something you replace every couple of years.

Aarke are a Swedish brand founded on the idea that everyday objects matter. They reject disposable design and single-use waste, which shows in everything they make. The kettle comes with a 5-year warranty if you register it, and that alone tells you something about how they think about durability.

How to Use

1. Fill the kettle with water, making sure the level is above the minimum line (0.5L) and does not exceed the maximum (1.2L).
2. Select your desired temperature using the temperature control buttons: 40°C for gentle warming, 75°C for green tea, 85°C for some specialty teas and broths, 95°C for black tea and coffee prep, or 100°C for boiling.
3. Press the power button and the kettle will heat to your selected temperature, indicated by the LED display.
4. The kettle will beep once it reaches the target temperature and automatically switch off.
5. If you choose a temperature you use regularly, the memory function will remember it, so you can skip the selection step next time.
6. The kettle will keep the water at your selected temperature for a short period before cooling.

Dry boil protection will automatically shut off the kettle if water level falls too low during heating, as a safety measure.

Product Care

Hand wash the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can mark the powder coat finish. The kettle is not submersible, so keep the electrical base dry at all times.

For the interior, occasional descaling is recommended depending on water hardness in your area. Use white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio), fill the kettle, heat to 100°C, let sit for 15 minutes, empty, and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times. The removable limescale filter can be rinsed under warm running water after each use.

Materials

• Body, lid, heating element, and internal components: SUS304 stainless steel
• Base and handle interior: Food-grade BPA-free polypropylene (PP)
• Handle and cooling elements: Food-grade silicone
• Spout: Stainless steel with non-drip insert

What These Do

• SUS304 stainless steel: A high-grade, food-safe steel that is corrosion resistant and built for daily use. It keeps everything touching your water clean and free from rust. The double-wall construction uses this steel throughout, which is what keeps noise down and the exterior cool.
• Food-grade BPA-free polypropylene (PP): Used only in non-water-contact areas to keep costs reasonable while maintaining safety. No plastics touch the water itself.
• Food-grade silicone: Provides insulation and safety at touch points, keeping the handle and heat-sensitive areas from becoming unsafe during boiling.
• Powder coat finish: The Sand coating adds texture and colour while protecting the stainless steel underneath from minor scratches. It also improves grip slightly.
