- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2025For such an expensive item you expect good quality but the button on the lid doesn't always open so needs multiple pressing
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2025So far, so good! I was unaware about the important of the water temperature in my tea, matcha and maté, I was like “yes, boiling water for everything” and I was burning all herbs and infusions. Highly recommended! When you turn on the kettle, it makes a cute sound, and when it boils at the temperature you want, it's fast. No leakage at the moment, and easy to fill
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2024The media could not be loaded.
I had a replacement it the replacement problem is worse so obviously a manufacturer issue.
It's an expensive kettle it should function completely
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2025Looks nice and works well, but the lid release button stopped working after only a few days. Infuriating for such an expensive kettle to have such poor build quality.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2025As far as heating water is concerned, it's fine. However, the loud 'bong' at the start and end of the process becomes highly irritating and worst of all, the lid mechanism is badly designed so doesn't work. To open the latch on the lid you have to press a button on the lid itself; when you release the button the latch closes again before the lid has a chance to lift so the only option is to prise it open with a fingernail while pressing the button, risking scalding from the steam inside.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2024For such an expensive kettle you expect a simple lid opening button to work. If I take out and put back in the filter it works once or twice before stopping again.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2024Absolutely outstanding quality in every way
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2025Great in all ways, until you come to fill it. As others have said the lid is infuriating to open, major design or manufacturing fail for such a fundamental feature.
