Since I have a daughter who is a senior in college, we tend to visit her on occasion since she is only two hours away. On a recent visit to her dorm I noticed what appeared to be a stainless steel pitcher in her common room.
After looking at it a little closer, I noticed that it was an electric kettle that she uses to heat up water for tea, oatmeal, hot cocoa, soup, and pour over coffee. I also noticed that it was on a 360 degree base that provides the power and the kettle can be easily removed from the base for pouring purposes.
I thought how ideal this electric water kettle is especially for a dorm room where there is typically no kitchen available with a stove for heating up water. My daughter raves about her Oster Stainless Steel Electric Kettle and uses it on a daily basis. Obviously, a small microwave will perform the same purpose but it is not only a lot bulkier, but there isn’t a keep-warm feature with a microwave. This electric tea kettle also has an automatic shutoff when the water reaches a boil.
As you can imagine, there are many other electric kettles available on the market. Two other highly-rated electric kettles are the Aroma 1.5 Liter Cordless Water Kettle and Bonavita 1.0 Liter Electric Kettle. With any of these models you cannot go wrong. If you have a college son or daughter, one of these just might be the ideal gift for them for their dorm room.
