2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful... but useless, October 31, 2011

This tea pot is very attractive and looks great in our kitchen, but drips everywhere when you pour water. It doesn't matter if you do it slow, or fast, we've tried many different pouring techniques, but we always end up with a ton of water on the counter. Really too bad for such an expensive and beautiful kettle.

After reviewing a bunch of teakettles, this one was the pick. While I liked the look of the KitchenAid teakettles, the Le Creuset models were more attractive mainly because I was hoping to match the teakettle to other LeCreuset pieces I have. The Caribbean color is fabulous!

The Zen kettle holds plenty of water without being of such a shape that it takes over the stove top. One of the other models holds close to the same amount of water yet it appears huge!

The whistle on the Zen kettle is loud enough that you can hear it at the other end of the house, which is important to me cuz I'm forever walking away from the stove to do a couple more chores while I wait for the water to heat.

As another reviewer said, if you over-fill the teakettle, the water/steam will spew out the hole in the spout.

The lid fits tightly - perhaps a bit too much so... and it would be great if the spout opened automatically without you having to put a finger near the hot steam in order to manually open the spout. Those are the only minor flaws.

The Zen teakettle is decorative enough to be kept right on the stovetop between uses. I recommend this model!

Beautiful finish, pleasant whistle.

When the kettle is full of boiling water, sometimes pouring jets steam and water across the counter-top, instead of into the cup. Solution: pour like a zen master.
