Non-Drip Spout

A lot of care and attention has been given to the spout. It's precision cut so that it doesn't drip, therefore making it safer, and also resulting in dry worktops.

Dual Water Windows

The dual water windows are of particular interest. On one side you have cup markers (as seen below), and on the other are volume lines.

Matching Toaster

If you're looking at a complete kitchen rethink then you'll be glad to know that Dualit sell a matching toaster. The pair coordinate perfectly well. They're pictured below together:
