Question: Does this kettle have a filter at the pouring spout and do you have to have the lid open to fill it?
Document: The pour spout doesn't dribble, the handle design is adequate, the top lid is easy to open and fill, and the base unit makes it easy to reseat the kettle. When the pot stops boiling it makes a pop noise as the "on" level goes back into the "off" position.
I just received this kettle. The pop up lid on this kettle sometimes pops up unexpectedly. Also, when pouring water out of the spout water also leaks out of the lid. I also thought that it was kind of slow to heat compared to our old kettle. I sent it back for a refund.
I am very happy with this kettle, although I have only had it for a week, so its durability is yet to be tested.It is almost all metal inside, except for the lid, filter and parts of the water-level.
Otherwise the only plastic inside is the lid and filter.
The kettle pours well from a full state. The spout is well shaped and creates a perfect water stream. The lid is lightweight but flimsy in feeling. The base is solid and here's why I say they should pay their brand marketers less: who the heck cares about a red plastic decorative ring on the base station of their water kettle?
like most everything, like stainless instead of plastic, heats quickly,pours well.... but that darn stubborn top: often it refuses to open when pushing the button, and then will pop open when starting to boil about 10% of the time....without the lid problems I would love it
minimal plastic parts3. spout pouring &#34;accuracy&#34; (I like coffee pour-overs which demand a little precision)4. automatic shutoff5. looks goodMany reviews talk about the spout and its ease of use -- I would agree. As far as the kettles that were remotely affordable, this was model was among those with the fewest plastic parts which would be exposed to water.
We like the choices it gives you for water temperatures for the different kinds of teas, but it is hard to see the fill line as you are filling the kettle. We do like the way it looks and its speed in heating the water.
Also, the arc of the handle matters, so the open arc here is a good design element (many kettles have closed loop handles... fyi, the tension balance is wrong when the kettle is full and you need to lift it). Testing water kettles in a store for their handle feel is a good idea, particularly if you have smaller or larger than average hands. Finally, the water boils quietly and the kettle clicks pleasantly when it's done.
I almost never fill it all the way, so it might be more accurate if you do. I usually fill it just to the minimum or about halfway and I find the green tea setting is still almost cool enough for green tea (I usually let it cool just a tiny bit after what the kettle deems the right temperature) and the other settings work decently too.
Answer: There are vertical slots at the spout, perhaps more to slow the flow of water than to filter; there is no filter screen.  I suppose you could fill through the spout, but it would be more difficult than filling through the large opening at the top (with the lid open) and would have to be done at a very slow, low rate.  The lid opens up fully; it pops up part-way when the button is pushed, and can be opened wider by hand.  The lid does not separate from the kettle.
