I love this kettle! Its minimalistic design adds such an elegant touch to my counters, and because it is stainless steel it is easy to clean. It's perfect for my morning coffee and my nightly tea time! Kettles have surely come a long way with this incredible appliance. It has 6 pre-set programs on the docking base so, with just one touch, you can choose your ideal temperature. My biggest worry with other kettles was accidentally burning my hand. However, this kettle manages to remain cool to the touch, despite the hot contents. It has precise temperature control and a 30-minute keep-warm feature. In addition, this kettle has truly been designed with the user's best interests. Its lid has been specifically designed to open such that you can avoid direct contact with hot steam. Especially for coffee and tea lovers like my own family, this item is truly a must-have in my opinion.
