I've had an Uplift kettle before*, and liked the way the spout opens automatically when lifting the handle (hence, the name 'uplift'), but this 10th anniversary version takes the cake with its cork handles. Cork insulates well, and provides a soft, nonslip grip, which makes it an ideal choice. And, it works nicely in conjunction with the...Read more
