Love this product. The crazy whistle too. Easy to clean. We have hard water where I live and you can feel the residue. I use apple cider vinegar and water and it cleans right up. Except for the wire thing you have to put on the eye of the electric stove and removing the top before you pour, it reminds me of the tea/coffee pots they use at diners. I'm really satisfied with this product. By the way I have even made coffee in it and it worked beautifully.
