This kettle is quite handsome. The red is swell. It darkens a bit to a richer red when it gets hot, then returns to its original hue when it cools (the interior, surprisingly enough, is cobalt blue). The kettle is weighted well, a reassuring heft. The lid snaps smartly in place. The whistle is slightly on the piercing side. That is good if you don't want to forget that you're boiling water--it will certainly let you know that the water is steaming. I have returned my kettle, however, after using it once. I returned it because water trickled down the exterior of the spout to the base and spilled everywhere when pouring. No matter how fast or slow I poured water from the kettle, water dibbled and spilled. I was disheartened with this dysfuntion. Perhaps a faulty chrome ring at the tip of the spout is to blame? I could not decipher the issue and so returned it to MOMA, from whence it came. If you obtain one of these kettles and it doesn't dirbble, well, you'll have a fine tool. Personally, I will not attempt another, however.

I just love the design of the EVA Teakettle. This kettle is a replacement for our 10+ years old, ever dependable, inexpensive enamel kettle that was starting to rust. When I started my teakettle selection process, I noticed I couldn't locate any local retailers that carried the EVA in stock so I could physically check it out for balance, weight, etc., prior to purchasing. I decided to go ahead and order it based on the few reviews online and Chantal's reputation for making excellent teakettles.
I ordered the Chili Red kettle and it is a beautiful addition to my stove top, as well as accent piece in my kitchen. I like the feel of this kettle very much. It has great balance and the capacity allows for enough water for several cups, but not too much weight for my not so young hands/wrists to handle with ease.
I thought it would be nice to have a whistling kettle this time around as my husband is using the kettle more often these days. He tends to travel thru the house while waiting for the water to boil. Chantal is known for their unique harmonic whistle. NOTE: The Eva does not come with a harmonic whistle, which was disappointing; but it does boast of a 'cheerful' whistle sound when boiling. Well, we got a screamer! So we don't use the whistle.
After less than 60 days of pleasurable use of the kettle, the sleeve at the end of the pour spout came off and will not stay on when re-inserted. I also noticed rust starting to form under the sleeve area. Yikes...I don't need that! I have contacted Chantal. They say they have not had this issue on the EVA before and are shipping me a free replacement kettle. I should receive it within the next week.
I will update my review once I have had time to evaluate the replacement kettle's usability. I cannot give a rating higher than a '3' based on my experience with the 1st EVA. I guess I am just stunned that it took less than 60 days for a $90 designer kettle to start rusting when my old inexpensive kettle took 10 years. I don't think my expectations are too high in this situation.

We received this teapot months ago off our wedding registry and were so excited because it is a great design and from a reputable company. But the metal ring on the spout pulls off with the plastic cap so we are pouring boiling water out of a raw metal edge. After calling Chantal's customer service and being told to email photos and doing so, then repeating the call and email after a couple months and no response, it's now six months later and still no response. This is a no longer reputable company in my view.
