Good tea kettle but interior sheds off after a few years,
This review is from: Copco Red Delicious Apple 1.9-Quart Enamel on Steel Teakettle (Kitchen)
I have had this tea kettle for 3.5 years and I have really liked it except for 2 reasons: 1) the whistle never worked and 2) the interior is coming off so that every time I scrub it or boil water in it, dark brownish-black water with a nasty chemical flavor comes out. While drinking tea recently, I noticed my tea looked really dark and had a really bad flavor. I tried scrubbing the kettle and tons of black-colored water comes out while I scrub. I thought If I cleaned it well enough this wouldn't be a problem but it just keeps getting worse. It was a great tea pot but now I can't use it anymore!

Only 1.9 Qt Capacity, NOT 2.5 as stated in product title,

This review is from: Copco Red Delicious Apple 1.9-Quart Enamel on Steel Teakettle (Kitchen)
My "2 1/2 Quart Copco Red Delicious Apple Enamel on Steel Teakettle" arrived this afternoon, only for me to find it very clearly stated on the outside of the box that this kettle "holds up to 1.9 quarts"... which indeed it does... not the 2.5 quarts stated.
The base of this kettle is not nearly as wide as my older plain white Copco with the swinging handle. I have not yet measured it, but it is 1-2 inches smaller than the smallest burner on my ceramic top electric range. Probably due to the smaller base, this kettle seems to heat much slower than my old one, even on the verboten "high" heat setting. Even when using the high heat setting the handle did not get hot. The end of the spout is covered in stainless steel, unlike my older Copco kettle which simply ended with the enamel-on-steel coating. While I have no issue with the stainless steel itself, the way it is assembled causes the pour to be somewhat sloppier than before, so that greater care must be taken. The interior of this kettle is dark colored not white, making it harder to see inside. The whistle on this kettle is loud enough to be heard in other rooms of the house and the sound is not so much shrill as simply hilarious. The whistle is harder to remove than the older Copco whistles as this one literally plugs into the inside of the spout, whereas the older ones just fit snugly over the outside. There are two wires on the inside of the whistle plug that I have a strong suspicion will not last very long, but that remains to be seen. The tea kettle itself is rather cute, and looks nice on the stove. There is some paint detail on the lid that is not visible in the pictures shown here, but will be in the pictures I add. The lid is very difficult to remove. This is good, in that you never need worry about it falling out whilst pouring boiling water into a cup, but bad if you ever care to remove it. My kettle was shipped in perfect condition and arrived promptly. In summary: + cute + loud, funny sounding, not shrill whistle + whistle is removable + fixed handle is not over the main opening in the kettle, making it easier to access + handle seems to stay cool + lid will remain firmly in place while pouring boiling water - whistle is difficult to remove - kettle is not the size stated - smaller base = takes longer to heat water - dark colored interior = harder to see inside kettle - pour is a little sloppy, but not horrible - lid is difficult to remove even when kettle is cool For me, the pros and cons of this kettle are nearly even at present. I'm not yet sure if I'll be keeping it. Editing later in evening to say I've decided to keep it because the whistle amuses me, and that managed to tip the nearly even scales in this kettle's favor. Updating a few weeks later to add that with use multiple times per day over the last three weeks I've come to really like this kettle. The lid and the whistle both still fit snugly but have gotten somewhat easier to remove. The handle indeed stays cool even when heating over high heat. High heat has not yet seemed to damage the kettle. UPDATE: 7 months later, at least daily use over high heat on electric stove top, washing in top rack of dishwasher, and this kettle is still in perfect working condition. The whistle works well (though it does take a strong boil to set it off) and the lid and spout cover fit perfectly. Handle still stays cool, finish is not worn or chipped inside or out. I am so happy with this purchase!

Copco Red Delicious Apple 2-1/2-Quart Enamel on Steel Teakettle,
This review is from: Copco Red Delicious Apple 1.9-Quart Enamel on Steel Teakettle (Kitchen)
Copco Red Delicious Apple 2-1/2-Quart Enamel on Steel Teakettle: This tea kettle is cute but has a few problems. The handle at the far end makes it difficult to pick up when full and the whistle has to be removed before you can pour out the water. Other than that, it is heavy duty and looks great on the stove. I would still recommend it.
