Alessi Il Conico Tea Kettle

I am a serious Alessi fan, and have had this teapot for over a decade. Don't know a great deal about physics, but I've NEVER experienced water boiling so fast. If you're trying to "go green", this teapot will even save electricity/power. It's really quite intriquing. I assume it to have something to do with the conical shape - you will never be disappointed. The design is also brilliant because the handle never gets prohibitively hot. The finish is so bright and shiny, I'd warn everyone in the household that they cannot use a scrubbie on the finish, or they will scratch it. Brilliant functionality and brilliant design!
