Great for the office; starting to become unreliable This seemed like a great deal and I like the small size, which is good for a quick cup of tea or pourover at the office. After four months of regular use (about 2-3 times a day) it is starting to become unreliable. Getting it to turn on requires removing and re-seating the kettle a few times, and it sometimes turns off before the full cycle is finished.
not stainless seam around base used to be my favorite thing. now the ring around the central stainless base (if you look closely you see it’s not one piece) has rust spots on it. The opening with the lid makes it incredibly difficult to fit your hand in with some steel wool to scrub the stains off. i already tried for about 2 mins. i dont know if i have the patience. it’s really uncomfortable and awkward to stick your hand inside to scrub properly. “stainless” … smh. i add photo later since many people show shiny…
Metallic Taste! Water boiled in this definitely has a metallic taste. I’m returning it and ordering a better quality glass kettle.
