Water Filter

As with almost all modern kettles, there's a filter in the spout. This filter is designed to prevent limescale and other large pieces of unwanted material from entering the cup. The filter is removable, washable and reusable.

Rapid Boil Zone

There are 1/2/3 cup markers on the inside of the kettle, as pictured below. These help you measure out the exact amount of water you need, so the water boils quicker, saving energy in the process.

Ideal Pour Spout

The spout is designed so that when the kettle is poured, dribbles, splashes and spillages are reduced. This will keep your worktops dry and clean.

Matching Toaster Bundle

There are two toasters which match the kettle's design - a 2 slice toaster and a 4 slice toaster. The kettle with the 2 slice toaster is pictured below:
