This review is from: Hamilton 1.7 Liter Stainless Steel KettleI absolutely love this kettle. I got my first one about six years ago and it's still going strong. In fact, I just bought my second one so I could have hot water in my office at school for tea and ramen.*The water gets hot fast. You know, in case you're starving but only have about five minutes before undergrads start trickling into your office to ask for extra points on their midterms for spelling their names correctly.*It automatically shuts off when it's done boiling. A nice feature to have when you dart out of the office to intercept the cookie tray before the colloquium attendees get to it.*There's a window-thingy on the side to let you know how much water is inside. Great for figuring out how many packets of ramen you can make.*The carafe can be completely removed from the electric base; no cord attached. I wish I could make a grad student joke about this feature, but nothing comes to mind except noose jokes ('cause, you know, when you're a grad student, you want to hang yourself).*It's stainless steel instead of plastic...there's nothing yuckier than plastic-tasting water. No plastic, no BPA-related worries. Not that I have anything to live for...I'm a grad student, after all.Yeah, the outside of the carafe can get hot, but why in the world would you touch it? There's a very strong and very big handle that doesn't get hot that you use. I have the common sense of a gnat--hence, pursuing the PhD instead of a getting a real job--and I've never once burned myself, AND I'VE BEEN USING THIS DAILY FOR YEARS!Yeah, I'm a grad student. How'd you know???...

This review is from: Hamilton 1.7 Liter Stainless Steel KettleSo we bought this to take on camping trips to make french pressed coffee (where there's power of course). It gets hot quick but BEWARE! The outside of the stainless steel carafe gets as hot as the water inside. One would assume a double walled construction but NO IT'S NOT. If you have kids or elderly folks around do not purchase this item!...

This review is from: Hamilton 1.7 Liter Stainless Steel KettleI got this from Costo and it works great. It definitely is faster than using a stovetop kettle or even the microwave.Yes, it gets hot on the outside, but I doubt many consumers would want to pay triple the price for an insulated unit. I don't think I know of any unit that keeps its cool on the outside unless it was made out of plastic.I've uploaded some photos as well. I think many other customers are reviewing the other hamilton beach 40870 kettle might have reviewed the wrong one, but this is the one from Costco with the plastic window....
