Know before you buy

Yes, the interior is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, and all materials that come into contact with your water are BPA-free for your safety.
The lid is designed with a push-button release that opens slowly. This controlled movement helps prevent hot steam from escaping too quickly and reduces the risk of splashing when you are refilling.
Yes, the kettle features a dual water window on the side, allowing you to check the water level clearly from either side of the unit.
While the handle is made of stainless steel, it is designed to remain comfortable to hold during the boiling process. However, it is always best to handle the kettle by the grip area to avoid the main body, which will be hot to the touch.
