My past two places had insta-hot water so I haven't needed a tea pot for several years. However, we don't have one in our new place and we're thinking we won't bother putting one in, so a new tea pot was needed. I wanted steel, but after having lived on a floating home for the past 4 years I'm now paranoid about steel and rust, so I decided steel with enamel was the route. I wanted the spout cover to be able to stay up and open on it's own, not requiring me to hold it open (the kind that has a spring that keeps it shut unless you're pressing it), and I like that the handle moves out of the way for filling the pot and cleaning. Le Creuset is expensive, but the few items I have by this brand have been amazingly durable and I've grown to see the value for the price. So, I bought the cute, green version of this teapot. It's been easy to clean, the whistle isn't super high pitched, which I really like, and it's just so very darn cute! This is the palm color, which someone didn't like but I think it's really cute. It's a graduated green, darker the lower you go and therefore not too intense of a lime green or anything. The shape is really attractive and it's super easy to use. I'm a fan all around.
I do want to say that for some reason it appears all the teapots in this style have a max fill line on them except for this green. If you look at the online pictures you'll see the max fill line but won't on the green. I thought maybe that was just a fluke in the images and mine would have the max fill but nope, it does not. I don't know how important that might be for most folks but because I can clearly see about where that is on the images I'm just using that as a guideline for the max fill with mine.

Heating TipsWhen filling the kettle with water, only fill water above the first layer of holes on the interior of the spout (see diagram on box for more information). For efficient and safe boiling, always use burner a similar in size to the base of the kettle. |
Cleaning and careDo not bang the teakettle down onto a stove's surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel. Do not place the kettle on the heat source without having water in the kettle. Never leave a teakettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, which can result in overheating and damage to the base and enamel. Do not leave water standing in a kettle when it is not in use. A buildup of scale may occur and reduce efficiency. |
Cleaning and careBefore pouring from your teakettle, remove it from the burner and ensure the handle is in the upright position. Le Creuset proudly uses heat-resistant plastic on our handles and whistles. Never place in the dishwasher. To clean, simply hand-wash the kettle with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically if required. |

Exploding enamel
Beautiful product. Have had it less than a year and it is exploding on the stove while I make tea. Hopefully it gets resolved by LE Creuset. If not don’t bother on less you want shards all over your stove and floor
