Best White Kettles

The best white kettles, ranked by our review scores. White is the finish that dates least - brushed steel reads as a particular decade and white does not - and it is also the one most likely to look old for a different reason. White plastic yellows, and heat accelerates it, so the parts nearest the boiler go first on a machine used daily for years. Cream and off-white hide that far better than a true white, which is worth knowing before choosing a shade. Staining shows around the drip area and the group head, so it wants wiping rather than admiring.
