Four-Stage Temperature Control


"RITTER" was founded in 1905 by Franz Ritter near Munich in Bavaria, Germany. The company produces high-performance household appliances, with all processes from design to manufacturing and assembly carried out within Germany.

Its design philosophy is rooted in the German Bauhaus tradition, and its products are recognized domestically and internationally for their design, functionality, and environmental consideration.

The newly released electric kettle "fontana⁵" is also characterized by its stylish form. It boasts high functionality and a design that accommodates both right- and left-handed users, with water level markings visible from either side.

Furthermore, the lid opens wide, making it easy to pour and simple to clean.

Notably, it allows for precise temperature settings. You can choose from four levels: 70°C, 80°C, 95°C, and 100°C, enabling you to set your preferred temperature for tasks like preparing baby formula or steeping tea.

This prevents wasted electricity consumption. Additionally, the double-layered kettle interior retains heat effectively, allowing for efficient internal temperature maintenance with minimal power usage. These features earned it the distinction of being the first electric kettle worldwide to be awarded Germany's renowned environmental label, "The Blue Angel."

Anton Jacc, President of Korvold Japan, the exclusive distributor of RITTER products in Japan, stated, "We are delighted to introduce RITTER's products. We aim to bring these long-loved German products to our customers in Japan."
