The kettle can boil 12 C. of water in 5-6 mins. 4-5 C. in about 3 mins. Thanks for the suggestion. This kettle is going to get used for a lot more than tea. We had an electric kettle that had been a wedding gift but never replaced after a house fire. The kettles that were available in the US at that time were quite expensive. This one was $29.99 + shipping. It is slim and compact being oval in shape and sits close to the counter splashback rather unobtrusively. Great buy and thanks so much for the suggestion. Really!

It was 8 dollars! Thu Dec 14 04:52:00 -0800 2006 2098169 11176 ciaogina 1 2098825 Couldn't find it at Cook.com...Are you SURE it is 12 cups...96 ounces???...Could you tell me the model #? Amazon had a lot of Bodums, but none of that size... Thanks Thu Dec 14 09:58:36 -0800 2006 2098169 10485 ChowFun_derek 2 2100231 Sorry it was Cooking.com and is a Bodum 5500 Ibis. Tea and coffee cups are measured as 6 oz. cups. I filled it to the max mark which is indicated as 12 cups, but it is probably 72. It has a scale filter too which in this hardwater limestone area is a big plus. Thu Dec 14 20:07:44 -0800 2006 2098825 10285 Candy
