Wish it were made in Belgium not Indonesia.  I understand the quality (metal thickness) went down since they started having it made elsewhere.  It is s nice kettle and I have given up on buying a whistling kettle due to poor quality and this one is better than any others I have tried, but with most things made in China a other countries in the area where labor is cheap, and when the manufacturer wants to pay less for their product, the quality suffers.
