Call me crazy, but you should be able to pour a kettle without it spilling boiling water everywhere – You literally cannot pour this kettle without boiling water going everywhere. It's impossible. Whenever I fill my teapot I need to put it in the sink so that I don't have to clean up the water that goes everywhere from using this kettle, not to mention so the I don't burn myself with the boiling water. What great function of design.
