Bodum 11659 Bistro Electric Water Kettle - Double Wall w/Temp Control, 1.1L

The Bodum Bistro Double Wall Electric Kettle is a step up from the entry-level Bodum Bistro. It is equipped with 5 different water temperature settings that can easily be adjusted, making it suitable for heating water for different types of tea (green, yellow, black, oolong, etc...) and has a keep warm feature for up to 30 minutes.

It features an elegant see-through glass body for full visibility into the water levels while maintaining a metal base for the heating element.

Feature List

• Five water temperature settings that can easily be adjusted via a rotary switch to make different kinds of teas: 60°C/140°F, 70°C/158°F, 80°C/176°F, 90°C/194°F, and boiling.
• Keep your water warm for up to 30 minutes.
• Design: Easily gauge the water level with its see-through glass body made of borosilicate that insulates the water.
• Removable lid for easy cleaning.
• Given that the water only comes into contact with the glass, the manufacturer's claims of being BPA-free are more credible.
• The transparent container makes it easier to control the water level. The scale line indicates liters, ounces, and cups.
• Manual On/Off switch and a sensor that auto shuts off the unit.

Customer Reviews

Now that we’ve covered the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the Bodum 11659 / Double Wall, let’s take a look at what the buyers can say about the water kettle.

• “At first glance, I wasn’t very convinced with the price tag but after using it at home – I am very sold by it. For a kettle that lies around a cheap price range, you would be surprised how it can heat up the water in a matter of a minute or two and then makes a loud clicking noise when it is done. No supervision needed at all while it boils, safe to use too!”
• “This water kettle is easy to use, easy to maintain. It’s easier to do both if you’re using tap water but if you’re utilizing something like mineral or hard water then you better have a descaling solution prepared during clean-up time. Other than that, I’m very happy with its performance at home. My hot water for my morning coffee always gets ready in a snap.”
• “Great kettle. Work fast and efficiently. I have also a zojirushi water boiler dispenser but this kettle provides you more than the purchased value in fact.”
• “Not heavy and cumbersome to bring around. The kettle can be brought to many places if you would wish it since it’s lightweight. Works pretty fast too. I have two of these kettles, one at home and one for the trailer truck whenever my family and I are going on out-of-town trips.”
• “Loving the fact that the kettle and the base are separate items since before I used to own an electric kettle whose cord is bound to the kettle itself. It’s admittedly a bit of a pain since I sometimes forget it is a corded kettle and I would end up tugging it by accident. That is however a thing of the past now since a cousin of mine recommended this kettle to me since it is a cordless kettle and the base and kettle are separate from each other. No more days of accidentally tugging the cords.”

Summary

All in all, the Bodum 11659 / Bistro Double Wall is another solid water kettle to consider adding to your household. It takes whatever was present in the Bistro model and takes it to the next level by adding a 5-temperature setting and a keep warm feature. Bear In mind that there are some claims from customers that the Double Wall has a rather short lifespan so you might want to keep an eye on it from time to time while it works.
