Have you heard of the Alessi Tea Kettle? If you’re familiar with
Michael Graves, then you know that he is one of the most renowned architects during the eighties and nineties. His
designs are varied and have a large scope. In 1984, he designed, developed, and created the Alessi Tea Kettle. It was one of the first items he worked on. This American artist certainly
has a distinct, unmistakable flair when it comes to design.
He leaves an imprint, so you know that he designed the specific item. He uses his post-modern
influences with a side of pop culture in the eighties. Perhaps what makes his designs so popular is the fact that
he really integrates traditional design with modern features. This is what makes the Alessi Tea Kettle very popular
among consumers. It is one of the best-selling tea kettles. It is made with 18/10 stainless steel so you can be
sure that you get high quality material.
 Stainless steel is one of the best materials to use when it comes to tea kettles because it
effectively conducts heat. Because it is stainless, you won’t have to worry about rust. It needs no
maintenance, and is generally very easy to own. It’s durable and lightweight, and convenient to use. This
particular model, the Alessi Tea kettle, is equipped with a whistle so you know when your
water is boiling and ready to use. Unlike regular tea kettles, the whistle on this model is more sophisticated.
It doesn’t have an annoying sound, and is loud enough to hear from a room away, yet quiet enough not to disturb
anyone. However, you’ll have to remove the whistle prior to serving your tea because you won’t be able to pour
it out.
Even the Museum of Modern Art in New York Town recognizes the value of this one-of-a-kind tea
kettle. It was initiated into the museum as a form of classic modern art. It has merited a spot in one of the most
prestigious museums. The unique whistle is what sets it apart from other stainless steel tea kettles. Michael
Graves wanted to use this type of whistle (called the bird whistle) because it has a much better, softer sound. It
was designed with usability and efficiency in mind. It has a very broad base, which makes water boil more quickly
than usual. It is eight and a half inches in diameter and nine inches in height. You can just imagine how much tea
you can prepare in one single brew. It’s perfect for preparing tea for those tea parties, when you’re
entertaining.
There’s no question that this stainless steel tea kettle is one of the best there is. The heavy
construction makes it very durable. It lasts long. It has a unique yet understated look that goes well with any
kitchen. With its ergonomic design of the Alessi Tea Kettle, you’ll surely be able to utilize it well. Use it
to brew tea, boil water, or even prepare your coffee all in one convenient stainless steel kettle.
