Ridgemonkey Square Kettle 1.1ltr, 10C5060432141158C10

Product Information

Top of our must-have list is that it’s easy is it to hold, fill and pour. If you often refill a kettle as soon as it has boiled, choose one with a flip-top lid you don’t have to take off manually. This is really important to avoid the risk of scalding yourself on steam when you open it.

Firstly the size – it measures only 16 x 22 x 20 cm but holds 1 litre of water which is about 1.75 pints – more than enough for four standard mugs of tea! That small size means it can also easily be stored away in a campervan cupboard or camping box. The Titan is essentially a titanium pot with a spout in the rim and a thin dual handle for lifting up. The handle looks flimsy but does not get too hot and does it’s job well. When not in use, it folds flush against the kettle body to aid storage. Did we mention that this kettle is only 118 grams?

Zettle vs Square: A summary

Aluminium is a great alternative to titanium as long as it is anodized. The strength-to-weight ratio is still excellent (although not quite as good), but it is considerably cheaper. As a rule, you will pay roughly half the price of titanium for the same capacity.

Every extra feature that Square has reduces the amount you'll have to spend on other software products – the main reason we gave Square a higher score for value for money than Zettle. Business development If you’re after a stylish mid-range stainless steel stove-top camping kettle then we think the VonShef Whistling Kettle is an excellent choice – especially as it comes with a 2 Year warranty.The Pykal Whistling Steel Camping Kettle is my idea of visual perfection in a kettle. It’s made out of stainless steel and looks the absolute business. It even includes a couple of tea infusers which you can fill with tea leaves and drop into the boiling water to act as a teapot as well! The Aarke Kettle is an investment, but, just like all Aarke products, it’s beautifully designed. Its seamless stainless steel body will create a stylish focal point on a countertop, and its slim build and small footprint mean it’s a useful addition to a smaller kitchen. There is also a lid with a separate red handle. This should be fitted in place snugly to allow the water to boil as rapidly as possible.

This area is all about scaling and so it's an important feature if you want to grow your business and audience base. Continuing the trend, Zettle scores much more poorly here than Square to achieve eighth position overall in our ranking (versus Square's first place). That said, to make it even more customer-centric, and like the Square card machine, the Zettle could have a larger display screen. Some of my customer’s also prefer buttons to input their data rather than a touch-screen.” The technology in this kettle will impress you with every use. During testing, we loved the temperature gauge lever and the fact that the dial on the body of the kettle lets you know the temperature even when it's away from the base. We also enjoyed how speedy the boiling was, and the light-up design as it climbs in temperature was great for making sure it was actually switched on, and knowing when it had finished boiling. The Primus Litech Camping Kettle is our current ‘go-to’ anodized aluminium stove-top favourite. Primus should need no introduction, and their kettle is the definition of a clean design. Rather than keying in their pin number on the card reader device itself, customers need to type their pin into the device hosting Square’s point of sale software – in other words, your mobile phone or tablet. This could create an accessibility issue for customers (optician businesses are an extreme example).Most electric camping kettles are made of hardened plastic to keep the weight down. Your only consideration then really turns into the size of the kettle you need. For example, you may wish to save space in your travel kit by choosing a smaller kettle than you would typically use at home.
