Retro key practice in the kitchen

The lid can be removed completely, unlike conventional bouilloirs is a detail that I love.
I feel like that kind of whistling kettle that heats up on gas.

It is mainly made of metal, except inside where there is maximum control water plastic, as well as a sort of protection at the thermometer.
The base is stable (somewhat antidérapente same), even with the empty kettle.

Level color is red which approaches the mangenta.

Practical application ** **
My Compare will therefore with a basic kettle with thermometer ESSENTIELB mark (Boulanger).

-> Thermometer:
I'm a big fan of tea, and like any self-respecting connoisseur, there are temperatures to be observed as teas.
The thermometer is very well seen in this case.
I had the same style thermometer on the other, and I still love watch (and make time to do it, as if it were a ritual finally) temperature, before allowing my tea leaves broadcast.

-> Heating:
The tab for setting heater is in the wrist, rather discreet.
There is a mini LED on the side meant that it is warming up. This is really quiet (does not affect the designated for it)

I find it a bit quieter during heating (I'm not saying it does not make noise, attention, but this is moderate)
It puts 2min40sec to heat water to 80 ° C. It is a bit faster than my previous.
For controlled with another thermometer, that of the kettle is relatively accurate.

-> Ergonomics:
I find that the handle is ergonomic. There is a protection to avoid burning with hot metal when taken or being poured boiling water.
The beak pays well and is not "baveu".

The "filter" big hole, is primarily, in my opinion, to reduce the flow of water poured.
I think of the strong regions in limestone, there is no filter in the kettle very small. I have no worries there with the water of my city.

There are no water level visiblity (if not the "max" witness inside), but personally it does not bother me because I do not really use the other that have.

** Conclusion **
I'm really happy with this kettle, I love. She is beautiful and practical.
She replaced my previous kettle, and find a place in my kitchen.
