Abstract:
1. A kettle, comprising: a spout; a handle; a water receiving chamber to receive water, a water level in the water receiving chamber when the kettle is in a resting orientation being referred to as a normal water level; a water heating chamber below the water receiving chamber; and a water transfer siphon, the water transfer siphon having wherein the water transfer siphon is preventable from priming with water from the water receiving chamber by a first tilting of the kettle by a user to increase an elevation of a siphon crest of the water transfer siphon relative to a water level within the water receiving chamber, the first tilting occurring in a first direction, the first direction being a rotation about a substantially horizontal axis towards the spout of the kettle, the water transfer siphon is primeable with water from the water receiving chamber by a second tilting of the kettle by the user to decrease the elevation of the siphon crest of the water transfer siphon relative to the water level within the water receiving chamber, the second tilting occurring in a second direction, the second direction being a rotation about the substantially horizontal axis away from the spout and towards the handle of the kettle, the second tilting orienting the kettle past the vertical or returning the kettle to the resting orientation if the normal water level is above the siphon crest.
