Baccarat Barista Italico Stovetop Whistling Kettle

Functional, effective and visually attractive – Purchased this stovetop kettle several weeks ago with some reservations due to several negative reviews.

The whistle itself has an insulated section to allow it to be flipped back for pouring which can easily be operated without any risk of touching heated parts of the whistle. Finally the visual appearance of the kettle is stunning and looks great when left on a wooden block near the cooktop.

Too hot to handle – Bought on special as ours gave up the boil...looks great but the handle is too hot to handle after boiling and then having to use a tea towel so to pour...not very happy with our purchase in-fact very disappointed  Show details

Beautiful kettle but not so design wise – Bought this kettle whilst on sale. It’s beautiful, it does the job perfectly but the lever to open the pourer is awkwardly located. Previous el-cheapo kettle max the lever near the handle so you could just open it while pouring. But this one located at the bottom of handle and near the aluminium part or handle which can get really hot. Tricky to close the lever too.
