Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon 1-1/2-Quart Caf? KettleCustomer Review: Non-whistling and scratchy texture, but looks good Summary: 4 Stars
I've been collecting Calphalon pieces at blowout prices and I'd say that at the Friday-Sale price of about a movie ticket this kettle is worth the money. A few things are worth noting: 1) This kettle is a nice size compromise for tea for two to four people. It's not too heavy when full and the handle is well-positioned for good balance. 2) The construction is on the lightweight side, compared to the more expensive Calphalon kettles, consequently the lid makes a grating scratchy sound when you place it on the kettle. This can be annoying but will improve with wear. 3) If you let boiled hard water sit in this kettle you will get calcium deposits which are pretty tough to remove. This happens to all kettles, but it's more noticeable in this case because the kettle is dark gray in color. 4) The kettle does not whistle. For some this may be a plus or a minus. 5) However, this thing does look great on the stove, makes the place very homey and is much safer than boiling water in a sauce pan when making tea.
Description of Calphalon 1-1/2-Quart Caf? KettleThey say a watched pot never boils, but since this 1-1/2-quart café kettle is made from highly conductive hard-anodized aluminum, it might serve as an exception to the rule. The heat-resistant handle won't get too hot, but doesn't stay as cool as the Cool V handles available on Calphalon's other cookware lines. This kettle is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
