"cheap. glass. boils water. whistles. made in germany and usa. no one else even makes a glass whistling kettle. this one is used directly on a ceramic cooktop without a metal adapter. handle heats up if the handle is placed directly over the burner. surprise. does not make water taste like metal. "whistling kettle" printed on glass vessel in case an alien opened the kitchen cabinet and was unable to identify the object. "
Perfect Kettle for Coffee!, March 24, 2005 By Tim (United States)
"I bought this kettle strictly for heating water for French press coffee making. Since this kettle is glass there's no likelihood of it imparting off flavors to the water (then the coffee). I got bored with my metal kettles changing into discolored and rusted, even with correct care. i like the concept of glass for coffee making and this kettle by Medelco is indispensable for coffee making!
It is conjointly simple to wash (dishwasher safe) and appears wonderful. It holds sixty four ounces of water when crammed to the lowest of the rim, but don't boil that a lot of because it can erupt and shoot steaming water up out of the lid. I feel safe but boiling fifty to fifty five ounces of water, that is quite enough for even the biggest French presses.
I like to use a look thermometer to observe the water temp and stop at 200F, that is that the ideal temperature for coffee brewing. This kettle will have a whistling lid that i exploit (I merely insert the thermometer into the whistling hole). The plastic handle is durable and remains cool (remember you cannot use HIGH heat and expect the handle to remain cool, i prefer medium-high heat) to the bit and pouring is simple (the lid should be removed to pour). All the componets are thick and sturdy (especially the glass). With minimal care this kettle ought to last a lifetime.
All the options I wished during a coffee kettle and raise that an incredible worth. though cheap this kettle doesn't feel low cost. a beautiful value!"

Love this kettle, April 30, 2011 By pandagirl
"This was a great purchase. It is my first kettle so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I have had no problems with it. It is easy to clean, heats up fast on my electric stove, and the whistle is loud enough to hear in any part of my apartment, but might be too quiet for a house. The handle does get hot, so I use a towel or a pot older to lift it from the stove and to pour the water, but that isn't a big problem. I also love the way it looks. I would definitely recommend purchasing this product. My tea tastes great!! "

It is also easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and looks wonderful. It holds 64 ounces of water when filled to the bottom of the rim, however DO NOT boil that much as it will erupt and shoot steaming water up out of the lid. I feel safe however boiling 50 to 55 ounces of water, which is more than enough for even the largest French presses.
I like to use a probe thermometer to monitor the water temp and stop at 200F, which is the ideal temperature for coffee brewing. This kettle does have a whistling lid that I use (I simply insert the thermometer into the whistling hole). The plastic handle is sturdy and remains cool (remember you can't use HIGH heat and expect the handle to stay cool, I like medium-high heat) to the touch and pouring is easy (the lid must be removed to pour).

All the features I wanted in a coffee kettle and add to that a fantastic price. Although inexpensive this kettle does not feel cheap. A wonderful value! "
