Product Description
Originally designed for the museum shop at the Museum of Modern Art, Osiris has been a true Bodum classic, surviving the ongoing changes and trends in design movements. Made of highly polished stainless steel, its unique bottom construction conducts heat faster from the source (gas or electric) and gets your water boiled efficiently, losing a minimum of energy. The handle, made of reinforced nylon, is hinged to the kettle in a way that conducts very little heat and makes this kettle a pleasure to use. Capacity - 68 oz (approx 2 Qts.) 4.25 inches h.x 7.5 inches diam.
Amazon.com Review
The modern cylindrical design on this compact little teakettle makes it look like a museum piece—and, well it might be, as it was created for New York's Museum of Modern Art shop by designed Carsten Jorgensen. However, this kettle's form also has a function: its slightly wider base directs heat upward so water boils 50 percent faster than in other teakettles. In fact, it takes only 8 minutes to boil about 2 pints of water, although the Osiris can hold a maximum capacity of 64 ounces or 2 quarts. The Osiris is made of brilliantly polished stainless steel, which matches any kitchen décor. The pot has a lift-off lid on top for refilling with water and a stay-cool handle for safe lifting from the stove. The triangular-shaped spout doesn't have a whistle to alert you when water is boiling so it's advised to stick close by when this teakettle is on the stove. --Cristina Vaamonde

Summary: Don't be fooled by it's look...this kettle has serious design flaws 2009-08-11

Summary: HANDLE IS TOO HOT TO HANDLE. 2008-05-25
Comment: This is a great looking teapot, but the handle is a problem. It does not stay upright. It gets very hot, since it lays on top of the pot while the water boils and heats the plastic handle in the process.

Summary: Attractive, solid but not for flat top stoves 2007-03-19
Comment: I wanted an attractive, easy-to-clean, non-whistling water kettle. This appears and feels quite solid and attractive. However I had mistakenly thought from the picture that the bottom was a solid metal disc. It's not, there is a rim that reaches out, presumably to trap extra heat. However the rim prevents the bottom of the pot from touching the surface of my flat top electric stove (which I love) and this kettle took forever to heat to boiling. After a month we gave up and gave it away. If you have a different type of stove it will probably work well for you.
By the way, if you get mineral deposits inside your kettle, just spray it weekly with a 50-50 white vinegar and water solution, wipe off the deposits, and rinse well. If the deposits have been there a long time, pour in full strength vinegar and let it sit and soak until the deposits loosen.

Summary: New Manufacturing is CHEAP! 2007-01-11
Comment: I owned the same kettle for 5 years. I finally decided to replace it last August (it was stained white -- water marks, that was all). The new kettle arrived and the handle seemed flimsy and loose. I tightened the screws on the outside. It worked temporarily. Today, one side of the handle fell off completely, WHILE I WAS POURING THE BOILING WATER! This tea kettle is dangerous and very poorly constructed. I would not recommend buying it.
NOTE (1/11/06) -- I called Bodum customer service and they very kindly told me they would replace my tea kettle. I appreciate this attention to the problem.

Summary: Needs a whistle 2006-12-25
Comment: Attractive item, but without a whistle, it was easy to forget it on the stove. When I did that, after 20 minutes or so with burner on high, it turned bronze in color. At least it didn't melt!! The handle does not reamin upright, so it gets too hot to pick up the kettle with normal usage.

1. Handle is extremely hot - a mitt is required.
2. Hinges on handle are extremely dangerous - while pouring, the kettle may swing from side-to-side - not good when you are pouring boiling hot water.
3. Due to the open-spout design, it takes slightly longer for the water to come to a boil.
4. The handle in general was designed poorly - once the water gets hot, it contracts and falls to a side, thus literally melting the handle since it is not heat proof. Mine melted on both sides the first week.
I am a fan of many Bodum products...just not this one. Bodum should consider redesigning it for consumer safety.
