Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Calphalon-quality construction meets museum-quality design in this strikingly-modern tea kettle. Durable, 18/10, stainless steel is mirror polished for a luminous finish that beautifully complements contemporary kitchens and stainless steel appliances. Its handle forms a graceful, free-form curve, while a distinctively-shaped spout tapers for easy pouring. The tempered-glass lid allows you to view kettle contents, plus includes a vent hole for safety. An impacted, bonded, heavy-gauge aluminum bottom provides the even heating and superior conductivity you'd expect from Calphalon. With a two-quart water capacity, this kettle measures 6-1/4 inches in diameter by 3-1/2 inches high. The piece is dishwasher-safe and covered by a lifetime warranty. --Mary Park

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks great while it burns you, December 20, 2004

Look carefully at where the spout is mounted. If you fill above this line, with the lid on tight, when it boils, boiling water shoots out of the spout. And the lid fits so tight it is hard to remove without burning.

I'm suprised to see this still being sold.

2.0 out of 5 stars Corroded at weld line, December 7, 2004

I really loved my tea kettle until it began to leak at the weld line where the spout attaches to the kettle. Needless to say I was none too happy. But, Calphalon was really nice about returning/ replacing.
We've had our replacement for about 4 months and now we are getting corrosion at the same weld line. I am getting pissed off, Calphalon usually has high quality, but this tea kettle sucks.

Another leaky teapot! I've had this teapot about 2 years now and it developed a leak at the weld joint on the spout. I was going to return it, but after reading the other reviews the scrap yard sounds like a better place for it. Previous to this,I had another style anodized teapot from Calphlon, that one didn't last either. Maybe they should get out of the teapot business and stick to pots and pans.
