It's really "the" kettle for those who travel and want to have a warm drink in their hotel room. Very convenient, everything is easily stored inside, takes up little space in a suitcase ... I think we can use it at work for those who do not have a hot drink dispenser. I am really delighted with this purchase, I imagined a cheap product, and I end up with the best tea I've had in my life ... resistence is hidden inside is metal, and I prefer it to plastic, it gives the impression of greater strength and be cleaner too. I see that the German brand has other interesting products at the appliance, I'll test them, it makes you want seen good experience with this little kettle that has everything a high.
