We have read many opinions here on Amazon for kettles and now opted for the Severin WK 3357 in black / titanium. That was exactly right. It looks great, is easy to handle and not megawuchtig. Has enough space for 1.2 L. The lid goes on by pressing a button, so you need only one hand while pouring. We agree with the predecessors and my well: this kettle can be very good friend.
