I knew from the picture this was going to be a beautiful tea kettle. Upon receiving it, I was not disappointed, and in fact was pleasantly surprised that the copper is only on the outside, which will make cleaning a whole lot easier (used to have one with true copper bottom but it was a pain to clean) !

Only thing is I wish it whistled, but that's only a problem if you like to set it and forget it. If you prefer a silent kettle, this is the one for you! Would have given it five stars if it whistled! 

Pros: Sturdy, easy to clean, beautiful
Cons: no whistle, filter too large in spout
