The Elite Gourmet EKT1001M is a compact 1.0-liter kettle with a mint powder-coated finish that targets solo users or small spaces where a full-sized 1.7L kettle feels like overkill. At $20.80 and 4.3 stars across 1,500+ reviews, it holds its own as a practical compact option.
Single-person households, small apartments, or anyone who brews one or two cups at a time and doesn't want to heat more water than needed. The mint color also makes it a reasonable pick for someone who wants a bit of personality in a compact package.
Skip if
Skip this if you regularly make tea or coffee for more than one person, the 1.0L capacity will require refilling often. Also pass if you need precise temperature control for specialty brewing.

Overview
The EKT1001M keeps things minimal. The 1.0-liter capacity is noticeably smaller than most kettles on the market, which is exactly its selling point for single users who find a 1.7L kettle wasteful for a single cup. The mint powder-coated finish stands out from the typical black and silver options in this category.
Like other Elite Gourmet models at this price, there are no temperature presets or smart features, it heats water and stops. For a kettle at $20.80, that's the expected tradeoff. The dimensions (8.14 x 6.12 x 7.8 inches) confirm it's physically compact and should fit easily in tight counter spaces.
With 4.3 stars from over 1,500 reviews, buyers have found it reliable for basic use. The smaller capacity means faster boil times compared to larger models, which is a practical advantage when you only need enough for one or two cups.

What buyers say
Reviewers at this rating tier (4.3 stars, 1,500+ reviews) tend to appreciate the size and look without expecting premium features. The compact capacity and color appear to be the main draw, and buyers who picked it specifically for those reasons generally report satisfaction.
A standard mug holds about 8-12 oz (roughly 0.25-0.35L), so 1.0L can fill two to three mugs per boil, enough for one or two people if you're not brewing back-to-back rounds.

No. It heats water to a full boil only. There are no temperature presets.
What color options does the EKT1001M come in?
The listed color is mint with a powder-coated finish.
