CAFÉ BREW COLLECTION Borosilicate Glass Stove Top Best Whistling Tea Kettle

I have bought this tea kettle at least 4 times!! I really love how solid it is, and it's just a very nice looking kettle. Each time it lasted for several months. I would suggest heeding the instructions to use low to medium heat; I would also clean it, according to instructions, at least every couple of weeks. This maintenance will help extend the life of the kettle. I highly recommend it!!

I have had 2 of these one for about 20 years and one for about 10 years. I recently smacked one of them on a metal faucet filling it up. A small crack formed on the rim and several months later it broke. I ordered a new one and who knows if it will last as long as my old one but it looks almost identical (the printing fonts are different). I make a gallon of tea at a time by boiling the water in 2 of these then transferring the water into my brewing vessel. I use a gas stove to heat the water and have no experience with using them on an electric stove.Observations and concerns;The lid handle melts its not the best design, probably would be better to cut the little tab/handle off. If you leave it a while the whole lid can soften up. Not an issue for me because I dont use the lid as it doesnt work well if you fill the kettle up to the rim like I do. It never gave me a problem whistling but only good when its not full. I guess you need to decide how important that feature is to you.I have read in many reviews that the handle melts. It surely can its plastic, but I do a few things to prevent it from happening. I keep the flames from going up over the sides by lowering the gas. I also offset it so its not exactly centered on the burner to keep more heat away from the handle and finally there is a cast iron bar on my grates that angles inward and absorbs heat so i angle the handle to that spot. This has worked for me for 20 years after I noticed this happening. BTW use a pot holder to pick it up just in case, it can be hot enough to bother your hands. As Far as the glass breaking , its thin borosilic glass and you have to treat it with care but its still fairly rugged considering.One more note the glass says "Germany" not made in germany like the old one, so take that for what its worth.I am surprised this arrived in one piece just luck I suspect. It was in a cardboard box with a piece of brown paper thats it. I am happy to have a replacement (still cheap too, about the same price in the 90's) and will report back if there are any problems.

Tried an electric kettle after my metal stove top one rusted. I always wanted a Corning stovetop tea kettle but they're just not reasonable as they don't make them anymore. So this one was my next choice and it is PERFECT!

I really like this kettle and wanted to keep it. But the top popped off when it boils. When I asked the seller if there was a way to get the top to stay on, the reply was to return it to Amazon for a refund. It's a nice size and I like the kettle. I found there is a "trick" to keeping the top in place! I just kept using the kettle and after about a dozen times now the top stays on and it whistles! As expected, the handle gets hot so use a hot-pad. And use the smaller burner on the stove. I'm glad I didn't listen to the seller's advice to return it for a refund. Instead, I recommend this glass kettle.

Love my teapot. I have been searching for weeks and finally found a great pot. My only complaint is that I wish there was a hook to place the lid on when you’re not using the pot especially if you’ve washed it and need it to dry.

it was worth my expectioni

Love this tea pot.

This is a very nice tea kettle, now. The cap kept popping off, but after 5 months the cap seems to have settled down and stays put.Nice to see a clean glass kettle, instead if the metal ones that get covered in scale in a month.
