The kettle makes a very dignified and solid impression compared to the plastic stuff that is for a similar price (also obtained by the company. Severin). That there is no external water level indicator, is not a problem for me but the cover can only be opened with the thumb after overcoming the relatively strong spring pressure. He can not be locked, ie for filling and emptying one must keep the lid open by pressure. This is a bit tedious and osteoarthritis should not have the thumb joint ;-) Therefore, a star deduction. Otherwise machine well & good price!
