Your kitchen design is more than the color of your cabinets, your countertop material, and your hardware - it's also the style of your appliances. In many homes, these tools sit on the kitchen countertops permanently. For evidence that they can be super chic, look no further than Reese Witherspoon's Nueve&Five gooseneck kettle.
The actor's white and wood ergonomically shaped electric kettle is the perfect complement to her white marble countertops. Its curved shape is a welcome contrast to the clean lines of the kitchen. Furthermore, the wood accents add a touch of natural materials to the space.
This white and wood kettle is the exact one that Reese Witherspoon uses in her kitchen, and it's easy to see why. In addition to its beautiful design, the kettle has a built-in thermometer, precise pour, and heats quickly.
However, Reese's look is not just fashion without function. The narrow spout allows for a precise pour, making it the perfect choice for pour-over coffee or other exacting brewing methods. Furthermore, the on lid has a built-in thermometer that shows the temperature as it rises, making this kettle the perfect choice for brewing beverages like green tea that require steeping below boiling.
