Stainless steel durability for daily use
Made from 304 stainless steel, this car kettle won't rust or corrode, even with regular use. It's tough enough for the road and refined enough for your morning ritual. Two sizes let you choose what fits your routine: 0.8L for solo trips or 1.2L for sharing. Works with both 12V and 24V sockets, so it fits most vehicles.

FAQ
Common questions
Will this kettle work in my car?
Yes, if your vehicle has a 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket. Most cars, trucks, and vans have one. Check your vehicle's manual if you're unsure which voltage you have, and choose the matching kettle.
How long does it take to boil water?
The kettle boils water while you drive or sit. Exact timing depends on the starting water temperature and your vehicle's power output, but it's designed for practical use during rest stops and job site breaks.
Which size should I choose?
Pick 0.8L if you're brewing for one or two people on shorter trips. Choose 1.2L if you're on longer hauls, sharing with others, or want extra hot water for multiple cups or instant meals.
How do I keep the stainless steel clean?
Rinse it regularly with fresh water. Over time, mineral deposits may build up, especially if you use hard water. Descaling your kettle keeps it in top shape and ensures great-tasting tea.
Can I use it for anything besides tea?
Absolutely. Heat water for instant coffee, instant meals, or anything else you need. It's your portable hot water source for the road, the job site, or the campground.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
