This tea kettle is a total winner, I use it every morning for making tea since I can't drink coffee any more.  I especially like the copper bottom because it helps heat the water quickly.  I also like the fixed handle, it does not fold or fall over, and the heat-proof grip is great, no need for a pot holder when pouring.  The finish is bright, sturdy stainless steel that's easy to wipe clean and it looks great sitting next to the cook top.  This was a great find, I don't think I'll ever need another one, it's the kind of quality piece you could hand down to your children and it would make a great gift.
