Thermometer

A device that displays the temperature of the water in the kettle. The presence of a thermometer is useful if the water needs to be heated to a certain temperature. However, the thermometer does not automatically turn off the kettle, unlike a thermostat — this must be done manually. Also, the thermometer allows you to assess how much the heated water has cooled over time and whether it can be used without heating again.

Removable lid

The ability to completely remove the lid of the kettle. Such a possibility is not of particular importance during regular use, however, it provides additional convenience if the kettle needs to be washed from the inside — a removable lid, unlike a traditional non-removable one, will not hang on the fixture, hit your hands and create other discomforts. On the other hand, there is a certain risk of losing this lid, so this feature is not common.

Opening the lid with a button

Kettles (see "Type") in which the lid opens at the touch of a button. This opening is faster and more convenient, and often safer than the traditional way (grab the lid and pull it up): the lid can get quite hot when the kettle is in operation, and long contact with it is fraught with burns. And although the button can also be placed on the lid, a short press is enough to activate it, and even in such cases the risk of getting burned is minimal. On the other hand, opening the lid with a button complicates the design of the kettle and reduces its reliability.

Water supply

Water supply button. The electric pump button is used to control the built-in pump in the kettle, which is responsible for supplying water to the spout. It is considered to be the most advanced method of water supply as it requires no manual effort from the user, can work with any container, and allows for accurate measurement of the required volume. Some models even provide automatic dosing where the electric pump dispenses a strictly defined volume of liquid with just the touch of a button. However, these supply systems are more expensive and require a power supply, which can be a disadvantage for some users.

Hand pump. The mechanical pump with a manual drive is integrated into the lid of the thermopot and is operated by a large button. This type of pump is simple, inexpensive, and does not require electricity to function, which is beneficial in case of power outages. However, it is not very convenient since multiple presses are required to fill even a small cup, and it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of water dispensed. As a result, it is typically used in conjunction with more advanced systems rather than being the sole method of dispensing water.

Cup pressing. This method is also known as the "cup-activated dispensing system". It uses an electric pump, similar to the button systems described earlier, but the switch for the pump...is located near the spout and is activated by the cup's edge instead of by hand. This makes it easy to dispense water by simply bringing the cup to the spout and pressing the switch with the cup's edge. However, this method is not suitable for certain types of cups such as soft plastic or paper cups, and holding the cup while dispensing can be inconvenient as the hot water can burn one's hand through the walls of the cup. Therefore, this method is often combined with a traditional serving button to provide users with the most convenient option for their situation.

Display

The own display noticeably simplifies and facilitates the use of the kettle. Most often, this is the simplest single-colour screen, capable of displaying 2 — 3 figures and possibly the individual special symbols — however, in this case, more is not required. The display is especially convenient when selecting and controlling the heating temperature — after all, it is much more convenient to navigate by specific numbers than by simpler devices like colour indicators. Actually, the presence of a screen almost 100% guarantees that this model is also equipped with a thermostat.
