especially with this kettle! The water is boiling for gimmick thanks to the changing colors as the temperature rises. He is very well made and looks very classy. In operation you only hear a faint noise. One note I still: Who has very hard water, must rinse the small Kalksieb very often (1 x day), because it is very fine mesh. Otherwise, the cleaning of the glass container with vinegar 1 x ranges in the week. I find my new kettle great and would recommend it without reservation.
