Why You'll Love It
Your Morning Ritual Just Got Prettier
Let me tell you, there is something about a vintage aluminum kettle sitting on your stove that just makes the whole kitchen feel warmer. This one does not hide in a cabinet. It stays out, it catches the light, and every time you reach for it, you feel like you are doing something right. That green handle, honey, is a little mood-lifter before your first sip.
What It's Made Of
Solid Aluminum, That Cheerful Green Handle
The body is aluminum, which means it heats up fast and stays lightweight even when full. Mind you, 1200 ml is a solid amount of water without making the kettle feel like a workout to lift. The green handle is the detail that makes this one memorable, a little vintage charm that does not feel forced. It is a stovetop kettle, straightforward and honest, no gadgets, no fuss.
Picture This
Kettle On, World On Hold
You set it on the burner, and while it heats up you grab your favorite mug, your loose leaf tin, maybe a biscuit if nobody is watching. The 1200 ml fills a teapot and leaves a little extra for a second cup without going back to the tap. Well now, that is the kind of small luxury that adds up over a lifetime of mornings. Believe me.
Day-to-Day Reality
Light, Quick, and Actually Easy to Clean
Aluminum heats faster than stainless, so you are not standing there tapping your foot. The kettle is light enough to handle with one hand even when full, which matters more than people admit. Hand wash only, so no tossing it in the dishwasher, but a quick rinse and wipe is genuinely all it needs most days. If your water is hard, descaling your kettle every few weeks keeps it running like new.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much water does this kettle hold?
It holds 1200 ml, which is plenty for a full teapot plus a little extra. Enough for two or three mugs without a refill, so it is a good size for a solo morning routine or a quiet tea for two.
Can I use this kettle on any stovetop?
This is a stovetop kettle designed for stove use. The description does not confirm induction compatibility, so if you have an induction cooktop, double-check before ordering. It works well on gas and electric burners.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The green handle is designed to stay cooler than the aluminum body during heating, which is one of the practical reasons it stands out. That said, always use common sense and check the handle temperature before grabbing it.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only, honey. Aluminum and dishwashers are not friends. A quick rinse with warm soapy water after each use is all it needs, and it will stay in great shape for a long time.
How do I keep the inside clean if my water is hard?
Mineral buildup is normal with aluminum kettles in hard-water areas. Regular descaling keeps it working well and tasting clean. Our step-by-step guide on how to descale a tea kettle walks you through the whole process simply and safely.

How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
