Every time after the water boil, it always has some dregs at the bottom of the kettle, i think some of metal inside of kettle? i am afraid it not good

It's probably mineral deposits from the water. You should be able to clean most of it out. Mine does the same thing, and after cleaning, the metal looks just fine.

Its very unlikely to be metal. It's probably just limescale - especially if you live in an area that has particularly hard water.It's just a residue left by minerals in the water. Just rinse it out from time to time.The filter inside the spout of the kettle is designed to stop those bits of limescale from getting into your cup.

If you're not using filtered water, it could be little white calcified flakes (lime scale) from the water. I used to get that when I used tap water. Nasty feeling if you accidentally get them in tea and swallow them. If you think this is the problem, add vinegar and boil it, then wash thoroughly; ideal if you only use filtered water after that (makes better tea/coffee anyway).

It might be hard water deposits. Just rinse it out or wipe down inside to remove it.

The chrome is on the outside over the copper so you do not have the constant need to clean the copper. My kettle was made in England, I have had it for a long time and it replaced the same style kettle that I purchased in 1968 when I was married. We have used these kettles for over 40 years and I would still recommend them over any other kettle.

The metal constantly flakes off inside this kettle. If you don't want to swallow tiny little pieces of the metal flakes, then you should not get this kettle. I already returned my kettle back to Amazon long times ago.

I haven't noticed any of these problems, at least not yet, I've had it since December and use it weekly or so. It did say the kettle may rust in the instructions that came with it, but that should not effect it's performance.

The body is definitely non-ferrous; to me it looks and feels more like stainless than aluminum. The bottom is a ferrous metal, perhaps cast iron, clad by the same material as the body. No rusting or corrosion of any kind observed (also pointing to stainless as the product; aluminum kettles usually develop pitting). We do not let the pot boil to empty and we measure the water so that after use the pot is empty.

Mine is the same way. We have hard water in this area so I figure the residue is left over minerals after the water is boiled away. I just wipe with a paper towel. It hasn't been a problem.

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.

I don't know about others, but for me, my kettle works well and I have not found any rust problem on it since I bought it month ago, I use it at least twice a day. Hope it will help you

The inside is plastic, and the bottom is metal. It heats water really fast. I love this kettle.

I tested this with a magnet. The bottom and body are ferromagnetic (contain iron and are likely steel). The spout and top are not ferromagnetic and are therefore made of some metal other than steel. The kettle is not heavy enough and too shiny to contain any cast iron. The steel components are likely stainless, not cast iron.

Ours hasn't. We do have a bit of mineral build up around the edge of the lid and interior but that is from our well water. The metal is VERY lightweight, so I don't know how long it will last. Also, it whistles so loudly that it hurts my ears! We had a Revere Ware tea kettle for years that was a lot heavier stainless steel. I wish I would have looked for a used one online instead of purchasing the Cuisinart.

Looking at mine there is a stainless steel layer at the bottom which would touch the burner, then there appears to be a fairly thick layer of copper, then the body of the kettle. Looked at the Nambe website at this item but no mention of copper. I do see it though. Beautiful kettle, I love it!

I would recommend boiling water (full kettle) with a few drops of lemon juice once/twice... It goes away. We are using our kettle for a number of months - and it's perfectly fine.

This is our second Kettle. The first one lasted for many years before it needed to be replace. I checked our latest one (which we have used for several months) and there is no rusting on the vent straw. Not sure what would cause that. Perhaps it's the water? Just a thought.

not where you poor in water and see it boil. the container itself inside is metal and appears to be coated with teflon or teflon like coating which should not be a problem considering the low temperatures (100deg celsius for boiling) I cannot speak for the internal workings of the water pump etc. In the beginning there is an almond-like taste to the water, it goes away with use. I have had no other problems with 2 boils/day for less than a year use.

Sorry to hear about that, R. But it could be okay still. My pot has discolored also, and has what looks like bubbles in the finish on the inside bottom. It hasn't effected performance or taste. I would just clean it out good and try it...I'm sure you have by now. Let us know how it went.
