Well, what can I say: the Japanese can stop it! You can easily refine and perfect things! In addition, they are real tea drinkers ;-) SUPER! I write really only reviews when the product deserves genuine and forgive either no points or full points. And here it is managed: Although longtime tea drinkers, I've never had such a well-crafted kettle. Who wants to prepare its water for tea correctly (and not in a miserable kettle! Horrible!), Regardless of whether green tea or black tea, it's no wonder. Not only the spout is as you want it as a tea drinker or for the preparation of espresso, and as the other reviewers have already written. No, the boiler is also through the lid, which is reasonably wide enough to clean and to see limescale very accurate, very good to remove, very well proportioned. Due to the very good steel heats quickly on all media, whether gas, induction, electric, ceramic, or even over an open fire (nice for tea ceremony ;-)) matter. Through the small holes in the lid of the water vapor occurs very dosed out, without too great a risk of scalding, which, ATTENTION: if you incorrectly perceived on the pot, the forearm is scalding by steam! That's better at normal kettles. But that is like the position of the steam holes by the fact again that you can elegantly placed a cooking thermometer in it (if necessary hole through drill bit at extending), so that you can even control the water temperature here about exactly (-> see green-tea drinkers) So strong buy recommendation!
