Disadvantages:
- No.
When ordering I immediately requested a strainer in stainless steel. The same charge (incl. Four teaspoons) was then supplied. The kettle came via UPS directly from the manufacturer in Italy! Incidentally, I have written asking for a stainless steel screen in English. The answer came in the German language :-) Had there probably can also write in German.
I can only recommend the kettle. Why not as a gift idea? About this great device would be any.
