This product is so good and best for different teas with different temperatures settings and can keep warm on setting temperature. Add water directly from lid is so convenient to use and lower lid damage with big open for easier cleaning. Highly recommended.

Terrible build quality - only lasts 4 months!
Purchased during Black Friday sales 2025, worked fine until January 2026, then began throwing “E1” (dry-boil) error codes whilst full of water. It would also occasionally drip a small amount water from the base holes - usually after boiling. This happened more and more frequently until April I could no longer clear the “E1” code by letting the kettle cool completely. I returned it to the store in April 2026 and got a replacement - which has only lasted until August 2026 with the exact same issue! Clearly the build is of terrible quality and perhaps even the design is also fatally flawed as it seems to not take into consideration the need to seal the electronic components against water in its gaseous form - an essential function in an appliance whose entire job is to create steam by boiling water! Returning it and planning to switch to an entirely different product and brand instead.

Perfect…
Easy to fill, glass and lights look good and no plastic touches the water, just what I was after.

seems attractive but has its pitfalls
Shows the exact temperature of the water. Top filling lid does not open enough to fill water, but the lid is easy to remove and put back anyway.

Simple and easy to use with a great design !
Design is great. I really like the top flap that allows you to pour water straight into without having to press any latch/button to open. The temperature control buttons on the top are also easy to use. Overall, a great product.

Very good kettle
Very good design that allow you to fill up directly from the tap without opening the lid. Variable temperature means more flexibility and a quicker boil. This is my second kettle and I bought it as a gift to my friend.

At a glance
The Durapres Boil IQ is a digital 1.8 L kettle built for households that enjoy tea and coffee at different temperatures. It suits everyday home use with adjustable heat settings, quick boil, keep-warm, and a removable tea infuser. The glass and stainless steel finish looks modern and the 360-degree base is easy to handle. One limitation is that its 30-minute keep-warm function is shorter than some premium models.

Things to consider
The 30-minute keep-warm function and standard 1.8 L size are practical for most homes, but premium kettles may offer longer heat retention, quieter boiling, or more advanced preset programs.
Family size suitability
8/10 - 1.8 L capacity suits small to medium households well for daily drinks.
Entertaining suitability
7/10 - good for serving several cups at once, though larger urns suit bigger gatherings better.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - digital controls, 360-degree base, and easy-fill lid make everyday use straightforward.
Noise level vs category
Average - typical kettle boiling noise with no specific quiet-boil feature noted.
Travel friendliness
Low - designed for benchtop home use rather than compact travel or portable packing.
Key benefits
- 1.8 L Capacity: Heats enough water for multiple cups in one cycle, making it practical for couples, families, or guests.
- Digital Temperature Control: Lets you choose from 70 to 100 °C for better results across different tea and coffee styles.
- Quick Boil Setting: Speeds up hot water preparation when you want drinks ready fast.
- 30-Minute Keep-Warm Function: Maintains your selected temperature for up to 30 minutes, reducing the need to reboil during short top-ups.
- Removable Tea Infuser Filter: Allows loose-leaf tea to steep directly in the kettle for added convenience.
- 360-Degree Base: Makes lifting and returning the kettle easy from any angle.
- Trapdoor Filling Design: Lets you fill water easily without fully removing the lid.
- Glass and Stainless Steel Body: Delivers a modern benchtop look while helping you see the water level during heating.
Q: Can you brew loose-leaf tea directly in this kettle
A: Yes. The Durapres Boil IQ includes a removable tea infuser filter, so loose-leaf tea can steep directly in the kettle instead of a separate pot. The infuser is removable, which helps when only plain hot water is needed.
Q: Does the keep-warm function hold your selected temperature
A: Yes. Durapres Boil IQ can maintain the chosen temperature for 30 minutes, which suits making drinks over a short period instead of all at once. It keeps water ready between pours, but it is not a long-duration hold setting.
Q: Can the Durapres Boil IQ be filled without opening the lid
A: Yes. This kettle uses a trapdoor filling design that lets water in while the lid stays in place, so top-ups are simpler under the tap. It is designed for easier filling, though the opening style differs from a wide flip-top lid.
Q: Is this kettle suitable for both coffee and delicate teas
A: Yes. Durapres Boil IQ lets you select from 70 to 100 degrees, so it suits drinks that need less than a full boil as well as standard black tea or instant drinks. If you always boil to maximum, that extra control may not matter as much.
Q: How easy is the kettle to place back on the base
A: The 360-degree base makes the kettle easy to lift and return from any angle, which is handy on a busy bench or for either hand. It is a convenience feature for day-to-day use, not a foldaway or compact storage base.
Q: What do the blue and red lights mean on the kettle
A: The blue light shows the kettle is heating. The red light shows it has boiled, so the status is easy to read from across the kitchen without checking the controls. The lights indicate heating status only, not a separate beverage mode.
