I received this kettle there are now more than a week and I must say that both the plastic smell the taste of the heated water removes all the fun of this purchase! Drink his tea or coffee with a permanent plastic taste is a real inconvenience. Second disappointment: the photo shows a turquoise blue teapot as he is a blue duck, certainly pretty, but that does not correspond to the photo. It is not important but for me, I wanted turquoise.
