Kettlesense
electric kettle

Alloy Total Product Design

Kettlesense is a two-part electric kettle. The lower removable 'jug', has a smaller capacity than a normal kettle, has no electronics, and is therefore as light as possible before being filled. The water is transferred automatically from the lower to the upper chamber, where it is boiled.

There is both a visible and audible indicator when the water is boiled, which is then dispensed via a fail-safe lever, rather than poured. The user is protected by a steam cowl, which draws excess steam towards the rear of the product. Boiling will only commence if there is a minimum quantity of water and an audio alert sounds when the boil chamber is empty.
