 Works well August 10, 2010
Katherine Runyon (Livermore California)
We have been using this daily for months. It is good for coffee, black tea and green tea, where precise temperature is important. Love it with the http://www.amazon.com/Aerobie-80R08-AeroPress-Coffee-Espresso/dp/B000GXZ2GS/ref=pd_ys_iyr6 Aeropress for coffee.
It did smell a bit when we first got it, but it is a good little machine, and the smell was gone after a few weeks.
It is easy to clean the hard water deposits, we do use filtered water but we have had to boil vinegar a few times to clean the deposits. Then just boil a few pots of water to clear the vinegar.
 Speedy and great design. July 29, 2010

Several temperature settings allow the flexibility to make the perfect tea brew, black tea, oolongs, green tea, which all are brewed at an optimal temperature. There's a guide that slides out of the base unit that shows which temperature setting is ideal for each of the teas. The glass kettle helps ensure that the kettle is clean and is a fun way to view and anticipate the hot water.
 Look good, but...handle broke off in less than 6 months May 23, 2010

I wanted that Kettle before it went on sale. Amazon didn't have it and I waited. Finally it was available and i bought it. We loved the kettle, looks amazing, no plastic inside, all glass. Bring water to boil very quick plus variable temperature settings. We used it every day, by the way, no smell after first few times it went away. My husband loves different kind of teas... It was perfect for a few months (not even half a year), until top of the plastic handle came off and it look like it was deformed by contact with high temperature. My guess when you poor hot water some steam escapes and deformed plastic. The was 2 little screws holding it together with the lid, so my husband screwed it back. It lasted another week, until one day I pick up a kettle and handle totally came off. I was holding just a handle in my hand and glass part with hot water came all over the kitchen. Base an the glass part is not broken, but it is unusable without handle. So beware....For almost $90 I expected much better quality. My old Braun kettle still works and in one piece for more then 7 years, I just don't want to use it because it is plastic. So I am looking for stainless steel kettle now.

I bought this for my desk at work and thought it might inspire me to drink more tea with all of the health benefits that go along with that. I love it, I'm definitely drinking more tea, and I have no complaints whatsoever. I bought it in spite of the few previous reviewers who complained about a funky taste eminating from the container. I must say I never had that experience. My tea tastes just fine. I didn't really think that there would be much of a difference if I didn't use the handy slideout guide for brewing my tea (this is a chart to select the correct brewing temperature for different types of tea). However, there is a huge difference! I tried steeping Tazo full-leaf Zen (a green tea) after selecting "boil" as opposed to the recommended 160 degrees. After trying the tea at both temps the tea had a very noticeable and much better taste when I used the suggested temp. I really like that feature. It heats up super fast and I have been trying out all kinds of teas- bagged, loose, sachet. I even picked up an Oolong tea the other day just to give it a try. Pretty soon I will be a tea sommelier!
Decent water kettle, but didn't keep its promises March 14, 2010

I too really wanted to like this product, and I am debating about returning it or not. I use a water kettle to heat/boil water for tea and coffee, and also to boil water so that I don't have to heat it up on the stove (for steaming vegetables, cooking pasta, etc.).
It doesn't rotate around the base, one of the explicit reasons that I buy a round-bottomed kettle. I like the temperature adjustments, but it should also be able to keep the water warm. Also, it doesn't beep or make any sort of notification when water has reached the desired temperature. The only way to know is that the little blue light goes out. If you are in another room, or on the other side of a kitchen/dining area, the light won't be noticed.
I haven't decided yet if I am going to return it or not, but I am glad that I kept the box, just in case I do decide to return it.
