Have you seen the new kettle? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you.

I love that even something as well-trodden as a kettle design can still be refined further. My main skepticism is whether this works well when the kettle isn't close to full - the image of it pouring implies a nearly-full kettle, but does the angle become awkward when it's closer to empty? Hard to know without actually holding one.

Just went to the Alessi site for more details. List one for £160 and one for £170. No obvious difference. Click on "what is the capacity of the toru kettle" and it makes you wait for an ai to answer the question.<p>What am I supposed to infer about the quality of a design company when they can't even get such simple things right?
