This kettle is amazing!  I show it to all my friends and inevitably they end up purchasing one as well. Aesthetically, this is the most pleasing of all the kettles I looked at, it looks great sitting on my counter and I don't typically care to have things there.  It heats an entire 7 cups of water to a raging boil in 4 minutes!!!!  I use it for everything from instant potatoes, to filling my coffee press, to a cup of tea.  Once again, Breville does not disappoint.
