Are electric kettles a good choice for tea? From my experience, electric kettles stop only when the water is at a rolling boil, which is bad because:


The water loses oxygen when at a rolling boil
If you make teas other than black or herbals (like white, oolong or green) you may bruise the leaves with boiling water


So are electric kettles recommended for tea making?
Well, my kettle will boil water to 70, 80, 90 or 100 degrees, which eliminates all of those problems you mention. If you are concerned about those things I would recommend shopping around for a kettle with more functionality.
