The Best Tea Kettles For Your Morning, Noon, and Night Cuppas

KitchenAid KEK1222PT 1.25-Liter Electric Kettle ($100)

Compact? Check. Adorable? Double check. The KitchenAid 1.25-Liter Electric Kettle looks like it just popped out of a Wes Anderson Film (and that's all the rage now, right?). At 1.25 liters, this compact electric kettle fits perfectly on a dorm room counter or in a small apartment kitchen. Its abilities are straight to the point - a fast boil for that quick before-class brew. Additionally, the spout includes a built-in limescale filter to soften that hard dorm room water that we all dread.
