ARIETE is an Italian brand, that is why equipment of this brand always looks decent, but since the company motto “To be available for the maximum number of consumers”, the design is simple, without frills. The kettle is small and nice-looking. The only criticism is that the design of the control panel is not the nicest on the screen. Need to mention the rapid heating and boiling of water in this teaware. Another important feature is the 5° step, while most of the appliances have 10° step. Last but not least, the high temperature accuracy is also a must. Error is only ~2° to ~0.6°.

OPERATION FEATURES
This kettle not only heats the water to a preset temperature, but then automatically brews tea for the time you set. In our test, we did not test the capabilities of the model as a tea cooker, but studied only the first half of the work algorithm – heating and boiling water.
The control is done with the buttons on the panel, which is located on the base. It’s quite simple: first of all we press the on/off button and then the water kettle begins to kip.”button to select the temperature, “plus” or “minus” to adjust the value. That’s it, the heat is on.
No audible signal after the end of heating, we must rely on the display and the lack of flashing of the indicator.
DESIGN FEATURES
Connected specifically to the purpose of the model to brew tea. This does not look very much like a kettle, but more like a pitcher. No spout in the strict sense of the word.
Plastic lid completely removable. To fix it safely, it has a mechanical interlock.
The body of the tea brewer is made of glass, made by a famous German manufacturer. The lid, handle and the stand are plastic. There is no need in the window indicator of water level. Markings mIn and max are applied on the body. Not very convenient that the measurement is done in cups, not in liters. Still, there are different cups, especially in our country.
Overall volume is small. The appliance is designed for you to brew tea for a desired amount of time in water of the right temperature, enjoy it, wash the kettle and leave it until the next tea. And it is designed for use in a small company: tea for two, well, maximum, four – and a new portion will have to brew anew.
DESIGN
This is a kettle that does not look like a kettle. Its shape is that of a jug with a wide base and a narrower neck. It looks interesting and unusual.
ARIETE – Italian brand, so technology of this brand always looks decent, but since the motto of the company “To be available to the maximum number of consumers” – the design is simple, without frills. The teapot is small and nice-looking. The only criticism is that the control panel is not very well designed.
BENEFITS
Fast heating of water and high accuracy of temperature readings and readings are the main trump cards of this teawater. Lovers of “proper” tea will appreciate these qualities, because only for them every degree is so important.
This appliance is intended first of all for those, who can’t imagine their life without tea, though it can be successfully used for heating small quantity of water up to desired temperature.
A 5° pitch gives you a wide range of usage.
LIMITS
Small volume, first of all. The level in cups, not in milliliters, is not very convenient for everyday use.
