Beautiful design in brushed aluminum (but inside is plastic insulation!). This temperature controlled kettle is fast and very convenient. No need to wait 10 minutes before drinking a cup of her favorite tea! Minimum level of 0.3 liter water ie for 1 mug thus again saving energy. So why only three stars? Because after only one month of use, the opening system (also plastic) begins to show signs of fatigue especially when the kettle is hot (spring tired or dilated by the heat?). Too bad!
