Simplex Heritage 2 Quart Tea Kettle Copper: Well worth the wait!

I received one of these as a gift 12 years ago and it's still my favorite kettle to put on for tea. This was a splurge spending this much on a tea pot, but I'm very happy with it. Mine is not nearly as shiny any more. I have not kept up with the finish and don't intend too. Holds quite a bit of water.

Simplex Heritage 2 Quart Tea Kettle Copper has a beautiful and loud whistle, and is comfortable to use. I've had quite a few comments on my lovely tea pot even with the tarnished finish. A family member had a kettle that was heavy for her arthritic hands and difficult to use because of the way the spout worked.

With this, she doesn't have to worry about a spout operator and it will last for years. I have one in reserve should mine ever wear out--after 12 years, not expecting that to happen any time soon. The whistle is in the lid so you do not need to remove the spout cover to pour the water. Both chrome finish and copper finish are built from solid copper.

I like the smooth bottom even though I use a gas stove with huge capacity open burners. They have a nice tin lining that holds up well over the years. The design is timeless. The chrome is easy to clean, with a simple wipe down to remove water spots. The copper one is well, copper.

Even my copper vintage one that is almost black with patina looks as good as my 10-year-old one when you look at the tin lining on the inside. Buy one Simplex Heritage 2 Quart Tea Kettle Copper  for life, then figure out who to leave it to in your will.
