These kettles have a very traditional form and for an excellent reason: they have to heat considerable quantities of water in a short time with the least energy. For that, the shape must have the least surface area and the broadest base possible, because the heat is conducted through the bottom of the kettle, as you would wish, and is radiated by the surface, as you would rather not. 
What else? A spout with a high, upward bend so the boiling water won’t squirt out and a rigid handle to safely carry the kettle. These are the perfect reasons why we offer such kettles in the traditional form.

Situated at the shores of Lake Maggiore, the manufacturer sets store by his reliable equipping of his models. However, they are not at all light which is due in part to a wall thickness of one millimetre and in part to the multiple layers of stainless steel that enclose an aluminium core and built the kettle bottom.

Our kettles have a very traditional shape for good reason: they have to heat large quantities of water quickly and energy-efficiently. This means for their body shape: little upper surface, but a large base area, because over the bottom surface (as desired) the heat flows in, but over the surface it (undesirably) radiates out again. Otherwise: high-set spout, so that the bubbling water can not splash out, and a firm handle on which the kettle can be held securely.
