The Appkettle is a Wi-Fi-enabled kettle or, in fancier parlance, a “smart kettle.”
The Appkettle works with an app that is available on both iOS and Android. The app notifies you when the water boils or hits your ideal temperature.
The app also allows you to control the temperature of the kettle from your smartphone. You can even preset beverage types such as coffee or green tea and have the Appkettle make it to your exact specifications.
The kettle also keeps up with its own energy use and displays it on the app, so those who are environmentally conscious can keep tabs on their carbon footprint.
The Appkettle is currently running a campaign on Kickstarter. The team behind it has raised $90,000 of their $245,000 goal. An investment of $117 will put you on the list to be one of the first to receive the Appkettle. The company hopes to begin deliveries late 2015/early 2016.
