Beautiful kettle, all glass and stainless steel. A very nice light effect during heating of water. But ... a plastic cover that feels downright strong chemical. After a month of using the odor persists. It's really, really a shame to have such a beautiful glass machine and contaminate the water because of a cover made of plastic doubtful. When we find a machine -t 100% glass and stainless steel, a future board globally, we are looking for without much plastic kettles.
