If you're going to have a kettle and toaster on your worktop, they may as well be ones that genuinely earn their place. This matching digital set from Quest brings proper functionality and a clean, modern stainless steel finish to both – a well-considered pairing for anyone who wants their kitchen to work as well as it looks.

The Kettle

A smart, well-specified kettle for anyone who takes their hot drinks seriously. Five temperature settings and a digital display built into the handle give you real control over how you brew – whether that's a precise 70°C for a delicate green tea or a full rolling boil for your morning coffee. With up to 3000W of power, it gets half a litre to boiling point in around a minute, and the 1.7-litre capacity handles up to 7 cups in one go. Visible water level indicators on the glass body let you fill to exactly the amount you need.

The handle display shows the current temperature, a timer, and an indicator light, and is where you set the keep-warm function – handy for when you've boiled but aren't quite ready to pour. A Strix controller cuts the power automatically once boiling is complete, and a button-activated locking lid with removable spout filter keeps things safe and hygienic. At 23.5 x 22 x 15cm with integrated cord storage, it sits neatly on the worktop without taking over.

The Toaster

A step up from a standard toaster, this four-slice digital model brings a touchscreen display and some genuinely useful extras to your morning routine. Six browning levels are shown visually on the display, so you can see exactly what setting you're on and adjust easily. The extra-long slots handle four slices at once and are wide enough for crumpets, waffles, teacakes, and thick-cut bread alongside standard slices – no squeezing required.

A countdown timer shows how long is left, and reheat and defrost functions cover the situations a basic toaster can't – warming up cooled toast without over-toasting it, or taking bread straight from the freezer with no soggy results. A cancel button stops the cycle at any point, and a warming rack is included for croissants and pastries that benefit from gentle warming rather than direct toasting. Auto-centring slots prevent jamming, the crumb tray slides out for quick cleaning, and integrated cord storage keeps things tidy.

Together

Matching in design and complementary in function, this kettle and toaster set covers the full morning routine from first brew to last slice of toast – and does both rather well.
