I love this kettle! This is the second one I have owned. I had to replace the first one just because it had some buildup on the bottom from the harsh water in my area and being turned on without water a few times. I use it mostly for tea and it works great for most kinds. The water gets a little too hot for teas like jasmine so I usually stop it before it’s done and use a quick read thermometer. I also use it when I want my stove water to boil a little more quickly. You do have to be mindful of where you place it; I left mine under my cabinets and overtime they got damaged from the steam. I was luckily able to fix it and made sure to move my kettle to an open area. It’s just and overall solid kettle that does what it is made to do! Highly recommend.
