Varia Aura Smart Kettle FLUX Edition
The Varia Aura is a smart kettle whose variable PID controller provides unbelievably stable brewing temperatures, whether you prefer pour over, French press, or tea. It heats quickly and quietly, but also features a programmable wake-up mode so you can have hot water ready as soon as you need it.
The FLUX Edition ergonomic handle and controlled-pour spout make precision pouring almost instinctual—they also contribute to the Aura’s minimalist aesthetic that makes it a true statement piece on any countertop.
The Varia Aura FLUX edition is also available as a 1.5 L kettle with a high-volume spout that would serve better for larger preparations, like French press or cupping.
Features & Benefits
The PID-controlled temperature memory system keeps your water exactly how hot you want it—anywhere from 104°F to 212°F—for up to 90 minutes. From there, the ergonomic handle and controlled-pour spout make delivering water to your pour-over funnel or tea mug so easy it’s almost instinctual.
If you need your water in a hurry, the Aura has you covered there, too. It heats 0.8 liters of cold water to 200°F in around 5 minutes and can even be programmed to turn on and heat water at a specific time.
Why You Should Get It
You should get this kettle because it is as elegant to behold as it is to use. Moreover, it’s accurate, heats quickly, and can even be set to turn on automatically. Wrap that up in an intuitive user interface and ergonomic design that makes precision pouring both easy and comfortable, and you’ve got the last kettle you’ll ever want—or need.
