Nice coffee. Stay-cool handle, wide opening. Nice effect. The plastic parts (at the cover and the nozzle) are never in contact with water. After a year of use I'm still satisfied. The handle remains cold if you remember to close the lid (potholder useless). You can still open the lid when the kettle is hot because the plastic part protects your fingers from the heat. The kettle whistles safe (we hear far). A great alternative to plastic kettles hazardous to health (especially children).
