I have NOT had that problem, I'd say it is your water. Fill a bottle, let it stand 24 hrs and check for sediment in the bottom of the bottle, this may tell you it is your water, not everything can be filtered out.

Negative - BUT, there is a small plastic piece at the top of an internal feature that does get hot. This part is not submerged even when the kettle is beyond the maximum fill line.

I have not had these issues. If the boiling water overflows, perhaps fill kettle 3/4 full. The handle for me has never been hot. As for the top nob, I treat it with caution, ie...do not touch till the kettle water is no longer boiling.

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.

Thanks for the answers. I do get an accumulation of crud since I use well water in the two water containers. Particles of something, probably from the pipe beween the well shed and kitchen, end on the curved surface near the hole.

Good question. I tried a quick dip in boiling water and it faired ok but made the plastic look a little fuggly (lost luster and slightly warped the screw on part). Going forward I just wipe down with alcohol.

That would be my guess as well. Had it happen only once and did let it heat a while before using. Think the excess water turned to steam and all was well. I love my steamer.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

Excess water could mean you are overfilling the tank. This has happened with another brand of steam mop I have had.

If 1ppm solute of unknown identity went in and 59 more came out, I'd bet it's the carbon from the carbon filter. Nothing to worry about. Your water is still absolutely drinkable and mostly pure.

I have not have that problem (yet). We normally leave it with some water in it (probably a bad habit) but we normally use it on a daily basis and we do replace the water before boiling it. When we are away for a few days we empty it and dry it by hand just in case. I had the problem you mentioned (white spots, not rust) with my previous one.

Yes, this happens a lot. Use less water, keep the lid off, and consider a bigger pasta pot for larger servings. I have a 12 qt pot that never boils over.

I'm not sure, but I have poured boiling water in mine with no adverse effects.

We live in an area with a great amount of minerals in the water. I am suspect that it is your water that is creating your problem here, not the coffee maker. The reason I say that is because it has happened to my coffee maker also, and I do not have a Bunn. I was constantly cleaning up the "crud" after a few brews. We were going through coffee makers like a kid in a candy store. Heat seems to make the minerals gather together fast. Just an observation on my part....I am no scientist. I began to use bottled distilled or spring water in my coffee maker and no more mineral deposit problem. Actually, the coffee did taste fresher. I appreciate reading your response, because I know that I am not the only one with this water problem, and I will keep using bottled spring or distilled water for my coffee! Oh.....and I am going to buy a Bunn!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your input.

The manufactor reccomends it because the minerals in tap or bottled water will stain the bottom of the burner and you have to use vinegar to remove it. The instructions say over time it will cause discoloration to the eggs- don't know because after the first few times using tap water and then having to scrub the bottom with vinegar, I went out and bought a gallon jug of distilled water for 99 cents. Well worth the money.

Vaguely written question, but I haven't had any weird water rings appear after boiling water for extended periods. This pot is truly stainless, and I've had absolutely no problems cleaning it, even with dried, crusted crap all over it. I think I'll be ordering some more Calphalon stuff soon. Very solid, I'm very happy with it.

I think salt raises the boiling point, instead of lowering it, so by adding salt, you're actually making it harder to boil the water. Try it without salt and see what happens. You just might be surprised.
