Read this BEFORE you buy your next kettle!

Researchers at the University of Queensland found that a standard plastic kettle releases approximately 3 billion nanoparticles into a single cup of boiling water. Micro and nanoplastics have now been detected in human blood, lung tissue, and cardiovascular plaque — with studies showing significantly higher risk in adults over 50.

The source isn't just what's in the bag. It's what your water touches on the way there. Here's how the Viante kettle was built to eliminate that.

The entire body is plastic-free — stainless steel and borosilicate glass

Most kettles are plastic on the inside where it counts. The Viante kettle body is food-grade stainless steel and borosilicate glass from top to bottom. Materials that don't break down under heat. Materials that don't release particles into your water. What your water touches is what ends up in your cup — so we made sure none of it is plastic.

The infuser is not a source of concern

Brewing tea properly takes several minutes of contact between hot water and the infuser. In most kettles, that infuser is plastic mesh or nylon — sitting in near-boiling water for the entire steep. That's exactly the condition that accelerates microplastic release. The Viante infuser is 100% food-grade stainless steel. The steeping happens in stainless. What ends up in your cup stays in your cup — not particles from the infuser.

Plastic-free from start to finish — the entire water path

Spout. Filter. Heating plate. Every point your water touches from the moment it heats to the moment it pours is stainless steel or borosilicate glass. No plastic spout collar. No plastic filter housing. No plastic heating element contact. The entire water path is clean. All the way to your cup.

Keep warm without the worry

Keeping water hot increases the rate of microplastic release in kettles that aren't plastic-free — the longer the heat stays on, the more particles shed. The Viante kettle holds your selected temperature for 30 minutes after boiling. And because there's no plastic in the water path, that 30-minute hold adds nothing to your cup but heat. Your second cup is as clean as your first.

Try it for 30 days. If you don't love it, we'll make it right.

We built this kettle with one rule: no plastic where your water goes. The body, the infuser, the spout, the heating element, the water path — all stainless steel and borosilicate glass. That's the promise. And we back it with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a full 1-year warranty. No hoops. No fine print. You either feel the difference or you don't pay for it.

I'm really loving this contemporary tea kettle. It's not just about quickly heating water; I also appreciate its various functions, like keeping my tea warm. Staying well-hydrated contributes to my overall well-being. I can confidently recommend this as a worthwhile purchase.

I just love this kettle. I like that the temperatures are on the heating pad and with it the types of teas and French Press it should be brewing at. I drink a lot of different teas from green, oblong and black and it is great just to push the button to start the brewing. I also like that I can easily keep the kettle at the desired temperature after I am done. It is easily to clean as the large top comes off giving full access to the inside. I also like that the tea infuser is in it. I used to have two pots, one for the water and another for the infuser. This has become my go to and I would highly recommend.

I have been loving this electric kettle ever since I took it out of the box! While I haven't tried all of the functions of the machine yet, I have tried the boiling or black tea function multiple times & love how quick it boils the water! It's easy to clean, doesn't take up a huge amount of room & does exactly what I want it to do. So glad I splurged & purchased this one over some of the other ones out there. Can't wait to try all of the other temp settings and the keep warm setting as well! If you're on the fence with this one, my suggestion is to get it!!

I’ve had this for about 2 months now and can honestly say this thing works awesome. Infuser is great. This thing boils water fast and auto shuts off when it reaches temp. Definitely worth the money if you make tea or even boil water for things like cup ramen.

So another family member has this tea pot and they love it so I bought one. So far it’s great. It boils the full pot of water in about 5 minutes. That makes 3 16 oz cups for me. ( my usual morning routine) the tea infuser works great with loose tea of tea bags. I’m a fan of Barry’s Tea, so I just stuff 4 teabags in the infuser before it boils and remove the infuser after 5-6 minutes. Great tea! Keeps it warm too, the warmer stays on for 30-40 minutes so I restart the warmer for my las cup, loving this so far!

Frequently asked questions

Does any plastic touch the boiling water?

No. This Kettle is designed so boiling water never touches plastic. When used as intended, water only contacts food-grade 304 stainless steel and borosilicate glass.

What about the lid or top components?

The parts that interact with steam/heat in the top area are designed to keep water away from plastic contact. Any plastic elements (if present) are positioned away from the boiling water path, while the water-contact surfaces remain stainless steel + borosilicate glass.

Is the silicon ring around the stainless steel base safe?

Yes — and it’s not silicone. The base uses a food-grade glass glue (not plastic) bonded with the stainless steel plate.

How do you ensure no microplastics are released?

We reduce the risk at the source: by eliminating plastic from the boiling-water path. Since water only touches stainless steel and borosilicate glass, there’s no plastic in the contact zone to degrade, shed, or leach into your drink.

What if it doesn't work for me?

No worries — try it risk-free. If it doesn’t feel like the cleanest kettle you’ve ever owned, send it back for a full refund. Within 30 days of delivery, no questions asked.

How does the return process work?
