There are only the "Boil" and "Keep Warm" buttons on the handle. These are not particularly difficult to press, I would say that the pressure point is pleasant. The temperature can be set either via the app or by pressing the "Keep Warm" button (several times). If the "Keep Warm" temperature has to be changed often, this kettle is not optimal because you always have to press the button several times or connect to the app. But I like the fact that you can also select the temperature by pressing the button, so you're still relatively quick. You can programme 5 levels, each from 40 to 90°C in 5°C steps. You need the app for programming.
