Retro kettle
Are you a fan of products with a nostalgic design? Then a retro kettle is definitely recommended. These come in all kinds of styles. For example, we offer variants from the SMEG brand that have a 1950s design, but also variants from Alessi that have the appearance of a whistling kettle. Our retro kettles are available in various colours, including: black, white, pink, red or matte black. All vintage kettles have a nostalgic appearance, but are equipped with all modern conveniences. They are all electrically powered and feature handy functionalities.

Black kettle
Whatever your personal taste, there is a good chance you will find the right colour kettle in our assortment. You can choose from variants in colours such as: black, pink, white, red, green, matte black, and blue. In addition to colour, there are also plenty of designs to choose from. We offer plissé kettles from Alessi, variants in the shape of a whistling kettle from Bodum, a sleek stainless steel kettle with a wooden handle from Eva Solo, and much more. Whatever colour or design kettle you choose, whether black or pink, they are all very convenient for boiling water for both drinks and food. For example, you can also quickly boil water for your pasta or soup without having to keep an eye on it.
Small kettle
Do you have a small household or do you often drink tea when you are alone? Then a small kettle offers the perfect solution. At Cookinglife you will find kettles ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 litres. In the handy overview below you can see the best fitting capacity per group size.
- More than 2 people: a capacity between 1.6 and 2 litres.
- 2 people: a capacity between 1 and 1.5 litres.
- 1 person: a capacity between 0.5 and 1 litre.
In addition to mini kettles, we also offer variants with different wattages. The higher the wattage, the faster and more energy-efficient a kettle is. In terms of wattage, our range runs from 700 to 3000 watts.
What should you look for when buying a kettle?
When buying a kettle, there are various things you need to take into account. To make your search easier, we have compiled the list below with points to consider when purchasing a kettle.
- Capacity: determine for yourself what you will use the kettle for. Will you often drink tea with large groups of people or do you often drink alone? Keep this in mind when determining the capacity.
- Limescale filter: if a kettle has an exposed heating element, limescale deposits will build up over time. You obviously do not want this in your hot drinks. If you choose a variant with an exposed heating element, it is therefore good to check whether it also has a limescale filter.
- Wattage: the higher the wattage, the faster and more energy-efficient the kettle is.
- Temperature setting: are you a tea lover? Then a kettle with temperature control is recommended. Some types of tea are best enjoyed at a certain temperature. With temperature control, you can enjoy your cup of tea with an optimal flavour experience.
- Keep warm function: this keeps the water at temperature, so you can still have a cup of tea later.
- Exposed or concealed heating element: with a concealed heating element, you will not have any limescale build-up. On the other hand, heating the water takes longer with a concealed heating element.
- Water level indicator: do you want to know exactly how much water is in the kettle? Then choose a variant with a water level indicator.
In addition, you can also consider colour and design choices, the choice between cordless or corded, or a preference for a particular brand.

How long does a kettle last?
The minimum lifespan of a kettle is between 2 and 3 years. How long the appliance lasts depends on the quality of the product, but also on how the appliance is maintained. The better you maintain a kettle, the longer the appliance will last. Do you want to be sure that your appliance lasts a long time? Then choose a quality brand. In the Cookinglife assortment you will find only quality brands, such as: Rig Tig, Cuisinart or Hendi.
How can you descale a kettle?
Maintaining a kettle is important to make optimal use of it. Cleaning and maintaining a kettle is not complicated. Below you will find the steps to follow for the best result!
- Step 1: fill the kettle with a mixture of water and lemon juice or vinegar.
- Step 2: let the mixture boil completely.
- Step 3: when you see that the kettle is completely free of limescale, rinse it with water.
- Step 4: your kettle is now limescale-free!
What is an energy-efficient kettle?
Sustainability is important and to help you make the most sustainable choice, we have compiled the list below. In it you will find two points to look for when choosing a sustainable kettle.
- Wattage: the more wattage a kettle has, the faster the water is heated. Therefore, choose a variant with a high wattage (2400 to 3000 watts).
- Concealed heating element: with a kettle that has an exposed heating element, the water must rise above the element before the appliance can boil the water. Boiling small quantities is therefore not possible.
