Kettles
Our kettle is 14 years old. It's a Fissler stainless steel (18/10 ie good quality) stove top. I love it. Paid $180 for it and have used it every day at least 3 times, usually about 5. the problem is that because it has a wooden handle over the top it has been scorched (mainly by visitors who turn up the flame too high so that it licks up the side of the kettle. I see a day soon where the handle will come off rendering it unusable. :(
What I want to know:
What type of kettle do you have?
How old is it?
What type of kettle would you buy next time (regardless of price)
I have seen some nice Kitchen Maid ones around. I will stay with stove top ones as I like them... love to be able to make a cuppa during a blackout etc. We also hope to one day own an Aga stove. Plus I don't like too many cordy appliances on my benches LOL
Love vintage looking ones too.
All suggestions appreciated!

There is one that I want that is breville I think but it could be another brand I'm not sure. Its got a perculator inset that is removable so it can be used as a kettle. I like it because if I'm having a dinner party I can serve the kettle on the table and it looks very stylish, and can also be used to make coffee :) And yes I'd thought about the what if people want tea. Easy I'd make up a teapot first then make the percolated coffee. I have had coffee in this before and it tastes great. It is called the Caf? Cordfree Percolator. They have it on the Breville website :)
ETA: Nevermind I just saw you want a stove top Kettle LMAO!

I love our simple, old, stove top kettle, though it's not flash to look at - great during blackouts!
Our handmedown electric kettle died a month ago and I didn't want to just get any old kettle to replace it and resisted getting one from a discount store. Just so happens that I noticed a stylish electric kettle in the CBA Awards brochure and ordered it. It's white, 1.7l, concealed element, 2.2Kw, lime-scale inhibitor (or something like that) and in that bell-shape. It's a Breville, I'm pretty sure. Can't wait for it to arrive! Aldi will have a similar shaped item from Thursday in cream and red for $40 roughly, so being that they're not selling it for $10-20, it must be a reliably sourced kettle.
Anyway, that's what I"ve got and what I'm getting :)
