The Bodum Ottoni Electric
Water Kettle is an offshoot of the original Ottoni Stovetop Kettle initially
produced by Bodumn 1986. The Electric Ottoni is fully automatic, providing all
the comfort and advantages of an electric water kettle. In designing the
Electric Ottoni, Bodum kept the playful post-modernistic look of the original
stovetop version and utilized most of the materials previously used, such as
stainless steel and plastic, while adding a new handle made of plastic.
To minimize energy
consumption, the Ottoni’s stainless steel heating element is concealed
underneath a stainless steel plate to maximize the surface contact between the
hot metal and the water. The auto shut-off feature insures that the Ottoni is
switched off when the water boils or if the heating element overheats. This
protects the kettle from damage and indicates a high safety standard. Bodum is
sensitive to people’s need for safe products. Bodum has integrated a removable
scale filter in the spout that retains calcium deposits and prevents water from
being tainted. In addition, the Electric Ottoni is cordless, reducing the risk
of the unit becoming entangled in the cord. An indicator on top shows the
maximum capacity of 1.5l/51oz.
