I opted for this whistling kettle, as it looks very stylish and fits well in my kitchen, but that is not enough ..... me ..... for my needs it is not enough .... I broth eg my coffee on the old, traditional way on, with this whistling kettle, it is hardly possible to make the filter because it has a fairly small, short spout that water splashes into the filter, so that almost every time the filter breaks down and the ground coffee unhindered enters the pot. Also to water to fill in a cup, does not have to scald being careful. Would he not look so good, I would give it only 1 star.
