I purchased this kettle because of its looks, the colour is very good for my modern kitchen.
But although I like the feel of the rubberised exterior, I cannot get rid of an unpleasant taste after boiling water in it. My tea is tainted by this taste. I thought it was just because the kettle was new and would disappear after a few uses but it has persisted even after ten days using it.
