Stovetop kettles are a nostalgic item for many people and, despite the popularity of electric kettles, lots of tea and coffee lovers still prefer the stovetop kettle. However, these days their design has a distinctly modern twist. Available as whistling or non-whistling, the stovetop kettleis available in many different colours and sizes. For example, Everten stock the Le Creuset Zen Kettle, which is ideal if you are making a quick cup of tea for yourself only. In contrast is the Reiss Whistling Kettle which holds two litres of water, enough to make tea for a whole group of friends.
