(More customer reviews)Ok, if you want an unbreakable tea kettle, get something made out of stainless steel. On the other hand, if you want a reasonably durable and easy to clean tea kettle that heats your water without adding off flavors and that has a handle that stays cool, this is the one! Other models still have a metal lid and/or a metal or plastic whistle. I suppose stainless steel isn't too bad, but I prefer the purity of glass. As for the plastic tops, whistles, and handles; ick! Who wants plastic vapors in their tea? I suggest that you remove the silicone seal on the lid as well. You can't count on it holding the lid on when you pour anyway; it is much safer to remove the lid for before pouring so that the lid doesn't fall out and break. If you just remove the lid before you pour, you don't need the seal at all. The resulting quiet rattle lets you know the water is boiling without an annoying whistle. The further benefit is that the kettle is then 100% glass.
Will this kettle last forever? Probably not. Mine cracked after over 2 years of continuous heavy use (4 or more pots per day). Also, I frequently refilled it with cold water immediately after pouring out the boiling water. In a nutshell, I ABUSED this kettle for two years and that's why I'm buying another. But it was GREAT while it lasted. The handle stays cool and the water is pure and clean. This kettle is well worth the drawbacks for anyone serious about their tea!
