Very handy, light. Very enjoyable to watch. Some will like the symbols that make life easier. Tea lovers can not be, because the temperatures are arbitrary, and recommendations can be discussed ... Say to make a tea to 80 ° that's ok. But not 70 ° and black tea is programmed to 100 ° ... Anyway nice product, but the general public. The kettle is black Mat, and it appears gray It is metal, but the walls remain cold, probably because of this painting.
