Does the Simplex Copper Tea Kettle you offer include the bottom adapter (as shown on the Amazon web page) for use on gas stove tops?

There is a version for gas and electric stoves. The gas version which is pictured has the heat exchanger as an integral part of the product, so it is only appropriate for a gas stove top and would not work on an electric stovetop. I find the gas stove version of the kettle heats quickly on medium heat saving energy.

Yes, the one I purchased looks like the one in the photo. It's actually (the 'adaptor') a 'built into' the bottom of the kettle.

No, the copper bottom is "glued" to the stainless steel body. The solder filler between the copper and the steel melted away revealing the lumps of epoxy or what ever it is that was used to attach the base. We use sauspans with copper bases on the same gas ring and have never ever had any issues with the copper melting irrespective of the heat applied. This kettle looks good but it is very poor in quality and I would not touch any product from this supplier again. I am more than happy to provide photos if you supply an email address to greggk@bigpond.com. This is probably not the answer you were hoping but I would rather be honest with you than have you throw the kettle out after a few months. Hope that helps.

The kettle is metal on the bottom. The kettle also has a rim along the bottom edge, where the body is pressed into the base. It will sit flat for the gas range I have and it should be flat enough for a glass top. There is an area in the middle of the bottom of the kettle that is convexed about 2 1/2 inches and is flat across to level it.

Yes to both of these types of cook tops. I have the no coil smooth top cook surface which I believe mine is glass. I have not had any problems with the kettle or my stove top. Hope this helps. I love my tea kettle.

I purchased this tea kettle for my daughter and she has an electric stove. I don't know any reason why you couldn't use it on a gas stove, it's a Mr. Coffee, after all!!

This is the first Simplex Heritage Gas Tea Kettle that I have ever owned; so I cannot compare it with what you term "the old ones". I bought mine eight months ago, and I think that it is great. Water heats up very fast, and it seems to be well-constructed. If it helps, the company is based in Norfolk, England, UK.

The Simplex models with the coil underneath are more efficient than the kettles with a flat bottom. They can heat up faster with a moderate flame - a large flame is not needed.

Yes from what the description says. That is why I bought it for my daughter inlaw, because her stove top is subject to change. I looked at many and this one was more versatile. Hope this helps.

Its solid copper so I would looks up to see if copper is approved for your stove top.

Sorry this is so late, I just got it. I would say no. I once bought a new ceramic stove it said not to use copper bottom and there was something aboutthe wok and wok ring that I thought I could not safely use it. I bought an electric wok and stopped using my Norpro. Now a decade plus later I am livingwhere I have a gas stove again and I bought the Norpro 10 piece wok set again this time from Amazon.

Yes, this kettle has a flat bottom. This is a great tea kettle, I'm sure you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine on my glass top stove.

Yes it does, if your hooking it to a dearborn/propane heater then you will probably also need brass adapter. I found that at ACE hardware but Home Depot may have it too.

All I can tell you is that we use gas range and with the copper core my wife loves it. She said it heats the water extremely faster than her old kettle. Sorry I can not give you a better answer but I'm not very familure with the induction top.

If your glass stove top can compatible with metal pan, I think it can compatible with the tea kettle too.

I have an electric stove but my friend ordered the same kettle and she has a gas stove. She never mentioned any problems with the kettle.

I doubt it... The kettle has no seam at the bottom - it's continuous solid piece of copper
