The Universal Kettle Tipper is a bench-top stand that holds a kettle and tips it to pour, so that the user never has to take the weight of a full kettle in the hand. The kettle sits on a base plate of 20 cm diameter against a front sliding stop, which positions it where it is needed, and two sturdy straps then secure it. The lever handle can be fitted on either side of the stand to suit the user, and operating it tips the kettle forward over the cup; when the lever is released the kettle rocks back into an upright position. Rubber feet keep the stand from sliding across the bench. The classic design is compatible with most kettle types, including standard, jug and cordless models, and the heat-resistant plastic unit weighs 190 g.

Pouring boiling water from a full kettle calls for grip strength, wrist rotation and steady control all at once, and this stand removes the need for all three. The kettle returns upright on its own when the lever is released, and because the tipper accepts standard, jug and cordless kettles, most households can keep the kettle they already own.
