This is a very beautiful looking kettle, except for the bottom connection to the base should have been a different material Because one mistake with the flame to high it started melting. Can that be correct. Thank you…

best tea kettle ever

The Alessi teakettle is beautiful, but defective. It does not always whistle when the water boils because the gorgeous whistle arrangement does not always land squarely on the spout. So you won't necessarily have any whistle alerting you that the water is boiling! On top of that, you can't slide the trigger into the slot intended to hold the spout open, because of flawed manufacture: the narrow area of the trigger cannot reach the slot because it is about 1/2" too short. It was very expensive at half-price; I can see why some other customer returned it. You should not sell this particular item, IT IS DEFECTIVE!!!!

The kettle and beautiful, but it is tiny. So tiny, that it is completely impractical to use it even for family of two. And if you have gas stove, beware! Even medium flame can melt the plastic handle. It happened to us at the first time we tried to boil water and know it stand there just for decoration. Pros: beautiful whistle Cons: small, plastic handle, unpractical

Nice ,lets you know the water is boiling EXCELLENT Dean

Loved this teapot so much, I bought a second one. Great design and unique pitch pipe whistle.
