Revere 8 Cup Cop­per Bot­tom Easy Fill Tea Kettle




One of the first names in tea ket­tles, Revere offers a range of high-quality pol­ished stain­less steel mod­els with cop­per bot­toms for quick and even heat dis­tri­b­u­tion. Pol­ished stain­lesss steel exte­rior is low main­te­nance. Tra­di­tion­ally styled, the ket­tles fea­ture easy-grip, black phe­no­lic handles

User Rat­ings and Reviews

2 Stars Whis­tle broke within month
I had a sim­i­lar expe­ri­ence to another poster here in that the whis­tle stopped work­ing a very short time after pur­chas­ing. The prob­lem appears to be with the fit of the easy fill lid. It allows steam to leak — which doesn’t allow enough pres­sure to build up behind the whis­tle at the spout. I’ve also noticed a crack in the plas­tic below the spout on the front — which has appeared in the last week (no steam is com­ing from there).

I have a 5 year old easy fill ket­tle that worked fine until it’s untimely user-caused demise — so I’d say that there is some­thing wrong with a par­tic­u­lar batch of these pro­duced in the last year or so that has ill-fitting lids and con­struc­tion not up to Revere’s usual high stan­dards. AVOID the trou­ble and get a dif­fer­ent Revere ket­tle with­out the easy fill lid.

2 Stars Looks nice, but does not whis­tle
We pur­chased one of these and really liked it until about 2 weeks later, when the whis­tle became very quiet and within a few days it stopped whistling at all! We returned it for another one, took it out of the box, and it barely whis­tled. It looked like steam was escap­ing from the lid at the top of the ket­tle. We researched ket­tles for some time before decid­ing on this one, and were very happy with our old Revere ket­tle, which died after sev­eral years (due to user error). We’ve tried this one and one other Revere model, and unfor­tu­nately we’re back to the draw­ing board again.

2 Stars Green Rust?
Very nice ket­tle. The out­side cop­per bot­tom has started to show green ‘rust spots.’ I have only used the ket­tle twice. I will get some cop­per cleaner and see if that works.

5 Stars Great tea ket­tle!
I’ve had this ket­tle for about a month now, use it every­day and it really is a good one. I love the open­ing on top so I can see if I need to get in there and clean out any­thing. It doesn’t have a loud clear whis­tle but whis­tles well enough to let you know when it’s hot. It pours eas­ily and I’m able to pour out the last drop with­out being burned with steam. It’s a good design with­out leaks and the han­dle doesn’t get hot. Of course, it would prob­a­bly get hot if sit­ting uncen­tered over a gas flame. I’d buy another one but I hope I’ll not need to for a very long time.

5 Stars Stop looking–this is per­fect
If you actu­ally drink tea you need a teaket­tle. If a friend drops by and the first thing you do is “put the ket­tle on” then this is the ket­tle you need. You can eas­ily fill it from the tap. It whis­tles like a good ket­tle should. It’s fast to heat with its cop­per bot­tom. The spout is moved with the handy lit­tle trig­ger so you need not burn your­self. It pours where it ‘s pointed and does not drip and spill. It is hand­some enough just sit­ting on the stove, but not so styl­ish you hes­i­tate to use it. Civ­i­lized tea drinkers, rejoice and have a cuppa.
