#13Heh, I work in documentation, and using that particular image in the introduction is an absolute masterclass in confusing people and giving them the exact wrong impression about the entire thing.
The water doesn't actually travel through the handle, and the handle is not connected to the spout, they just visually align.

#14And what is Alessi?

#15Thanks but I'll keep my kettle that works, has a water level, and cost me less than eating out for lunch once.

#16Saved you a click: they made the handle higher up. This is on Hacker News for some reason

#17Just 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. What am I supposed to infer about the quality of a design company when they can't even get such simple things right?
They're different sizes, it's in the description and it's also described under "More info" > "Capacity (cl)". I'm not seeing the "What is the capacity..." button you mentioned.
I'm on mobile, Firefox.
