The second best quality/price ratio

The Siméo CT 250 has the merit of being simple to use, quick to heat water, and it knows how to retain heat “naturally”; you don’t ask much more from an entry-level kettle. Tea aficionados who want to have several temperature levels to infuse their precious and varied leaves will turn to the Tefal KI240D10, just as effective and a little more sophisticated.
