Reading the comments and not Googling anything. Maybe this is Ayn-Rand titanium all over again. But with Ceramics. MD can we get a tea kettle ceramic bearing in one of those spinning tops? Interested in it's spin time. So sorry, way off topic. But yeah, maybe they reinvented ceramics. Or I just have no idea WTH I am saying anymore.

Just FYI, you should never use any teapot on any sort of direct heat. There are a few that are meant for that, made of cast iron, and their purpose is keeping hot water for heating a small space, typically for a small cabin or tent.
Teapots are purely for combining hot water with tea leaves, so you will need a kettle to boil the water.

You are right, my bad. Instant no buy I think. You should never put any ceramic, no matter what the manufacturer says, on direct heat. It will by nature weaken over time, and fail. Tea kettles should be glass or metal.
That said, I wonder if this is just a person from massdrop that does not understand tea or kettles. I am rather into teas, and I have never seen a "tea kettle." Plenty are called that, but they are for water, and tea pots for tea. The 2 are never the same when brewing/steeping tea. Maybe though, I am just ignorant of this particular thing.

musgratThe information apparently comes from the manufacturer, as it is sold elsewhere as a gas/electric stove-top tea kettle. Although I drink tea daily, I would not to presume to know anything about the subject; I only ever used stainless steel for boiling and steeping. However, ceramics in general, are terrible heat conductors, and that alone makes them less than ideal for stove-top heating.

This would be a gift for my fiancé who is a big tea drinker (where as I am not). Quick question (& I apologize if I missed this in the description). Does this pot "whistle" when the water is boiling?

r3gan3Typically with a kettle like this either you use a tea light to heat the tea, or boil your water in an electric kettle then pour into the ceramic, so it should never get hot enough to whistle I don't think, because tealights are mostly just for warming and keeping warm.

trevor266That makes sense...especially since my fiancé has a few kettles that just basically hold the tea to pour & re-heat. I was cuious because the description state how this kettle can handle a tremendous amount of heat. I think the comment from Theroc ultimately answers my question. Thank you trevor266 & Theroc for your helpful insights!

$43 on Amazon Prime. Many reviewers say it cracks under fire (See what I did there, I'm awful I know). It's not an issue for me, I use an electric kettle anyway. Still something to consider if you want use it on a stove top.
