Now to the Ottoni kettle.
He quickly came: packed with personalized letters and well. As a bonus, the package a set teaspoon were settled. In the letter it was pointed out that all the components of the kettle from European production originate. The boiler is made entirely of stainless steel ... no plastic, with the known disadvantages to the taste of water, or discharge of pollutants into the water (eg phalate)
No unnecessary bells and whistles:
The device is convenient, easy to use and just as easy to clean stainless steel .... stop!
If he now many, many years holds and above all remains tight, so I'm happy :-)
