But there’s more to La Cafetière than that. A lot more!

whistling kettleOne of their hugely successful products is their whistling stovetop or hob kettle, so no more returning to the kitchen to find a boiled-dry and ruined kettle.

Manufactured from stainless steel with an enamelled coating applied to the coloured versions this kettle is suitable for all stove types including both induction hobs and Aga or similar stoves.

It’s a decent size, too, with a 1.7 litre capacity and its whistling feature when the boil point is reached is a great function!

And it’s made in several colours to suit your kitchen decor including red, black, white and cream in addition to the classic stainless steel finish.
