The choice of stylish and yet functional electric kettles is very slim. If you want a minimalist look then your chances will be close to zero. This kettle checks all marks (minimalist design, clean look, safe to use (double wall), intuitive control buttons, high-quality materials (only time can tell how long it will last). I wish there were a window to see how much water in it but I understand how complicated it might be to implement in order to preserve double-wall insulation therefore it is not a big deal. Very gentle and short beep is also a huge plus (coming from Kitchen Aid truck-like beeping).
I really hope this kettle will last at least 5 years. It is just perfect in every way!
