Summary

A 1.7 L glass-carafe electric kettle with 1500 W heating, four preset temperatures and a removable tea infuser, launched in 2026 as part of Martha Stewart’s first Kitchen Electrics collection. Check the warranty and the lack of independent testing before you buy: this kettle is new to market, so no professional reviews or long-term owner feedback exist yet.

Strengths

  • Four preset temperatures cover the common tea ranges without guesswork.
  • The removable stainless steel infuser is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is straightforward.
  • A 30-minute keep-warm function holds temperature after boiling.
  • The 360° swivel base lets the kettle sit at any angle on the counter.
  • The glass carafe has clear measurement markings for filling.
  • Priced at $60, it undercuts the Cuisinart PerfecTemp by roughly $40.

Weaknesses

  • No independent professional testing exists for this model.
  • The one-year warranty is short; the Cuisinart PerfecTemp offers three years.
  • The “boil in as little as 2 minutes” claim is unverified and appears optimistic for 1500 W heating 1.7 L.
  • The glass carafe is hand wash only, which is less convenient than a fully dishwasher-safe design.
  • The actual manufacturer/OEM behind the Martha Stewart brand was not identified, which limits assessment of long-term parts support.
  • No long-term reliability data exists because the kettle launched in 2026.

What the kettle offers

The CC010690-001 is a straightforward temperature-control glass kettle. You pick one of four presets — 160°F for white tea, 175°F for green, 195°F for oolong, 212°F for black tea or a full boil — and the kettle heats to that temperature and holds it for 30 minutes. The LED touch display sits in the cool-touch handle, and the +/- buttons let you nudge the temperature, though product copy does not confirm whether they allow continuous adjustment or only preset selection. The removable infuser drops into the carafe for loose-leaf tea and comes out for dishwasher cleaning.

Boil time and the 2-minute claim

Martha Stewart’s product copy claims the kettle can boil in as little as 2 minutes. No independent measurement confirms this. Competing 1500 W kettles typically take 5–7 minutes to boil a full 1.7 L, so treat the 2-minute figure as a best-case marketing number rather than a realistic expectation. The concealed heating element reaches up to 212°F, which is standard for the category.

Care and running costs

The glass carafe is hand wash only. The removable infuser is dishwasher safe. Descaling guidance for electric kettles generally recommends periodic cleaning with vinegar or lemon juice, though no model-specific descaling procedure was confirmed from the manual. There are no proprietary consumables or subscription lock-in. The only recurring costs are descaling supplies and a replacement infuser if lost or damaged.

How it compares

At $60, the CC010690-001 sits in the budget tier of temperature-control glass kettles. The Cuisinart PerfecTemp CPK-17P1 offers six presets, a three-year warranty and extensive independent test coverage at roughly $99.95. The COSORI Glass Electric Kettle and Chefman Temperature Control Kettle are other competitors in the segment. The Martha Stewart kettle’s differentiator is its lower price point and brand/design aesthetic rather than superior features or tested performance. If you want proven reliability and a longer warranty, the Cuisinart is the safer choice; if you want the Martha Stewart look at a lower price, this kettle delivers that.

Is it worth it?

At $50–65, the CC010690-001 is reasonable for buyers who prioritize aesthetics and brand, accept the lack of independent verification, and understand the warranty is only one year. At $66–80, compare it against the Cuisinart PerfecTemp on sale, which offers more presets, a longer warranty and independent test coverage. Above $80, established alternatives with proven test histories and better warranties dominate. The kettle’s primary value proposition is design and brand at a low price, not tested performance or feature depth.
