This kettle is very cute. Had to assemble the thermometer to the lid; thermometer appears to be accurate, like the red marking indicating 190 the perfect temp for French press coffee brewing. Kettle is very dainty looking, must fill within 1/2 inch of top to have enough water for my press but as long as I remove from heat when it hits the 190 it doesn't boil over (did allow to come to full boil once to test whistle but boiled over no whistle) since I am usually making my breakfast while using this kettle don't see a problem again the 190 marking has been helpful for at a quick glance I can see it while occupied with other tasks. Handle design is very nice though if you have large hand might find tiny but doesn't get hot. This kettle should be used on the smaller burner to prevent handle from possibly heating up. This kettle is very eye catching cute, the black exterior looks very nice since I usually always have a cast iron skillet on my stove top with this little kettle it is a nice decorative look if someone stops in. Quality of kettle appears to be good only time will tell; interior polished so yes needed to be thoroughly cleaned to remove production residue but I simply used a small amount of dawn dish soap and a soft bristle bottle brush to get inside then I did the full boil to ensure no soap residue remained (can ruin a perfect brew). Since I am on a well system I do filter my water beforehand and intend on doing a biweekly kettle "clean" with a small amount of vinegar to prevent "scale" build up which is the usual breakdown of most stainless kettles. So far very satisfied with appearance and function just wish it was maybe 4-6 ounces larger.

I do not want a large kettle. This one is the size that I need for my 2 months of pour over coffee each morning. It arrived in perfect condition, well protected in its factory packaging. I chose this one because of the built-in thermometer, the size and its appearance. The quality and price make this one a very good value.

Great two copper.

I needed a Little teapot to put in my camper to use with my French press. This teapot is perfect works on my stove and boils water quickly. The little temperature gauge on the top has a little indicator in red that shows me at what temperature I need to take it off as to not scorch the coffee. Bottom of the kettle to the water does not boil out the spout. Works great for instant noodles, hot cocoa, instant oatmeal, or any other hot thing that you just need some boiling water for. Highly recommend this cute little teapot.

It's a yes just buy it
