The kettle filled loosely these requirements, only the handle and lid are made of plastic, which is very stable. Filling opening is large and opens at the touch and has a scale filter in the spout, can be found the one and clean. The base plate is made entirely of metal with a small pin, suppose this is the temperature sensor. Unit lights pretty blue when it is on and heats up very quickly.
Yes, the glass is hot. Logically. Is nen handle, you do not take off there. No Problem.
The temperature display is certainly interesting for tea gurus for me rather fancy add-on.
I am very impressed by the facilities, is high-quality, looks great and cooks quickly the water, I would buy again.
