On the 1.5L kettle, can you get your hand in to clean out pot?

If your hands are the size of most professional basketball players, no. The opening is roughly 3.5 inches wide. Hope that helps you.

Hello Dianne, I agree with the others comments, anyone with small to medium hands can fit in the opening and clean the pot,larger hands may have a difficult time. I will say since I only boil water, I rinse it out and leave the top open to air-dry and it works well!

Yes, I can. The diameter of mouth is about 9 cm. I believe you can clean it with you hand.

I am a 6'2" man with LARGE hands and I would say that anyone with hand my size or smaller should be able to do what you are asking. I personally use a little white vinegar with hot tap water to clean mine and don't need to scrub it. It is glass so unless you leave it out dirty before cleaning or put thick or sugary drinks in it you shouldn't ever need to.

I'm unable to squeeze my hand to clean the inside of the pitcher... the narrowest part of the pitcher's neck has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches... I use a pair of cooking thongs and a sponge to scrub the inside of the pitcher.

You can put .5 liter to 1.7 liter of water into kettle, flip start switch on handle to on, it will heat the water to boiling point, and will automatically shut off. If you want just warm water, just turn it off before it boils.

I cannot put my hand in it, but my kid can. I use a brush, but I am using filtered water so I only have to do it once in a great while.

Absolutely! It is one of my favorite things about it (that and the cleaning which is so much easier than my previous stainless one, though I still miss the aesthetics a little bit). Even better than being one handed, it raises up with ease with just the side of your hand that is already clutching waste on it's way in. It's function is unsurpassed (imho).

My stove top that I commented on previously has two wood strips attached to the steel handle attached to the pot. My hands are not that big but I can manage to pick it up with spilling or dropping the whole pot. Being careful not to drink too much caffeine I still make a pot every now and again to appease my taste of a great cup of coffee, just like my dad used to make in the mornings. If your hand is too big just get a dish towel and pick it up. Oh, if you have the time tell me if that Copco's 4 to 8 cup percolator's handle is made of, plastic or wood.

I hold it towards the base of the handle to avoid this, it would only be a problem when filling a teapot, a single cup is no issue.

Yes, but the handle is fine to touch. Mine ended up breaking as I had poured my water and left the switch on when I placed it back on the base, the heating element had no water and the unit did not turn off. Burned out the element and it became a paperweight. I did love it while we had it!

There is a large tea net that goes inside of the kettle. You can use a bag or loose leaves. Its easy to remove and rinse out once you're done brewing the tea. EDIT: Actually, if you look at the second picture of the teapot, you can see the white plastic mesh that is in the middle. You can put whatever you want into it.

The opening isn't large enough to get your hand inside. I just fill it about half full of vinager and swish it around to clean

I use a bottle brush to clean mine but it is big enough to put hand in. It's easily accesable to me.

good question - never even tried! All you really need to do is get a good pot cleaning (like coffee cleaning agents) stuff, and boil 4 times and it will be squeaky clean on the inside

You can remove the kettle for easier cleaning but it cannot be submerged in water

I sort of wrap my arm around it and pry it off with my hand. It works that way with and without pot holders.

The exterior cleans very easily as does the interior. I have no difficulty getting my hand into the kettle opening. I personally find the kettle very attractive, the 'whistle' pleasant & the spout is easy to open/close.

When filling from the water dispenser on my refrigerator, yes, the handle gets in the way - but I solved that problem by filling the kettle through the spout, instead of the lid. In fact, I never detach the lid except to clean with vinegar water every several months to keep it scale free.
