I was so happy when I got this kettle, been needing one for a while and wasn’t sure what to go for. This kettle looks very stylish love the black grooves and the gold trimming just makes it look like an expensive kettle. Love the look of it. It has great features such as the markers for the cup sizes, if you are just making a cuppa for yourself (which I do regularly) you fill up to first marker and it boils so quickly, unlike my old kettle which use to take forever to boil. It’s a good weight not too heavy and also not too light. The spout is also a great size so it pours really nicely and you don’t spill any. Now I need to buy a matching toaster to go with the great kettle.
